Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Mind Glaive
Eliminate context rot in Claude Code with intelligent memory hierarchy, auto-learning hooks, and specialized subagents. Uses an 8-layer memory architecture with SessionStart/End hooks that automatically persist and restore context across sessions. Includes an MCP knowledge base, pattern learning from tool usage, and pre-compaction memory compression to keep Claude informed without bloating context.
Selvedge
Persistent decision memory for AI agents: rationale, rejected approaches, and entity history.
