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-chronicle
Bridges Codex Chronicle's screen-recording memory into Claude Code. Codex Chronicle is an OpenAI Codex feature that passively records your screen, runs OCR, and writes a markdown summary every ~10 minutes describing what you have been doing across your apps. This plugin pipes those summaries into Claude Code via SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit hooks, so Claude knows what you have been working on outside the terminal — past activity, current focus, and the live screen. Ships with a /claude-chronicle:remind skill that searches the archive by time, topic, or both.
