primitiv vs nuclear

primitiv: Primitiv is a design contract layer for AI agents. It scans design sources like Figma, codebase, Storybook, and token files, reconciles conflicts between them, and exposes a single machine-readable contract via MCP. Agents connect to get authoritative answers before building UI, ensuring consistency and reducing drift.; nuclear: Nuclear is a free, open-source music player designed without ads or tracking, allowing users to search for music, build playlists, and listen. It offers a powerful plugin system and theme support, running seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
