whetstone vs toonify-mcp

whetstone: Whetstone is a Claude Code plugin that enforces disciplined development workflow: plan before coding, verify before claiming done, find root cause before patching, review before merge. It bundles agents, skills, commands, and a skill distillery for PHP, Python, TypeScript, React, and infrastructure workflows.; toonify-mcp: Toonify MCP helps Claude Code stay lighter when working with large tool output. It compresses large JSON, CSV, YAML, and API responses, making long test failures and stack traces easier to pass through a session. Users keep the same workflow without learning a new one.
