Validate activity before betting a new project on nuke. - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between cc-switch and nuke? cc-switch: A cross-platform desktop All-in-One assistant for multiple AI agents. nuke: 🏗 The AKEless Build System for C#/.NET.
