Head-to-head claims from both packs
Each row is attributed to the pack that authored it. The winner column is normalised to this compare view (A / B / Tie).
| Source | Alternative | Axis | Winner | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | claude-code-guide | complexity | Alternative | Claude Code Guide is the 10-section onboarding reference; extensibility is one section. This pack is the decision tree for choosing among Hooks/Skills/Plugins/MCP specifically. |
| A | injection-surface-audit | accuracy | Tie | This pack places extensions at injection points; injection-surface-audit audits them for hostile content. Use this to choose, that to harden. |
| A | pattern-decision-tree | maintainability | Tie | Pattern decision tree picks an agent pattern; this pack picks an extensibility mechanism. Orthogonal decisions; use both. |
| B | cursor-rules-guide | maintainability | B | AGENTS.md is honoured by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Aider, and Continue. Cursor .cursorrules is single-tool. |
| B | pattern-decision-tree | complexity | Tie | Decision-tree covers WHICH pattern to pick; this pack covers HOW the Claude Code harness executes the chosen pattern. Use together. |
