Pack comparison
Two packs, side-by-side. Merged comparisons, shared shape, and diff highlights in one view.
seven-safety-layers
Defense-in-depth for tool execution. Deny > ask > allow. All 7 layers, in order, with honest failure modes.

Merged comparisons
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 | injection-surface-audit | maintainability | Tie | This pack is the architecture; injection-surface-audit is the checklist. Use the architecture for design decisions, the checklist for per-release audits. Complementary, not substitutes. |
| A | turn-execution-pipeline | complexity | Alternative | Turn pipeline describes the outer 9-step loop; this pack expands step 7 (permission gate) into its 7-layer decomposition. Pipeline is simpler because it treats the gate as one step; safety layers are the hard part. |
| A | owasp-llm-top10 | accuracy | A | OWASP LLM Top 10 is a vocabulary for LLM-app vulnerabilities; this pack is a specific architecture. Use OWASP to name the risks, this pack to verify the layers. |
| B | claude-code-guide | maintainability | Tie | Claude Code Guide is the operator recipe (how to write AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md); this pack is the architectural why (what CLAUDE.md is and is not). Use the guide to write the file, this pack to decide what belongs in it. |
| B | rag-hybrid-bm25-vector | complexity | B | Vector-DB RAG is the canonical retrieval pattern; Claude Code's file-based memory is the opposite bet (no embeddings, LLM scan of up to 5 file headers). Compare costs: vector adds index + latency + opacity; file-based is simple and auditable. Start with file-based; measure before adopting vector. |
| B | seven-safety-layers | accuracy | Alternative | Safety layers are where enforcement lives deterministically; CLAUDE.md is where instruction lives probabilistically. For hard rules, safety-layers wins on accuracy because it actually blocks calls; this pack explains why CLAUDE.md can't. |
