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
claude-codex-loop
claude-codex-loop orchestrates a structured collaboration loop between Claude Code (designer/reviewer) and OpenAI Codex (auditor/implementer). It runs two stages — design and code — each with up to 5 rounds of iterative review plus an independent validation pass. How it works: - Brainstorming (optional) — Explore requirements interactively before designing - Design stage — Claude Code writes a spec, Codex audits it independently each round until convergence - User gate — You review and approve the design before any code is written - Code stage — Codex implements, Claude Code reviews the full diff each round - Independent validation — A separate audit pass with zero prior context to catch groupthink All work happens on a dedicated branch. Cancel anytime with /cancel-review to cleanly restore your starting state. Commands: /review-loop <task>, /cancel-review
