pilot-shell vs peac

pilot-shell: Pilot Shell enhances Claude Code with structured workflows for spec-driven development, efficient bug fixes, and product requirement generation. It integrates quality gates, preserves context, and optimizes token usage, enabling engineers to produce consistent, production-grade code.; peac: PEAC is an open standard for portable signed interaction records across APIs, MCP servers, x402 payment flows, and cross-runtime systems. It enables offline verification and survives organizational boundaries. Use it when local logs are insufficient and external verification is needed.
