Nova FAQs

Question 1

What kind of issues can Nova catch?

Accepted Answer

Nova's independent evaluator checks code across five dimensions: Functionality, Data Flow, Design Alignment, Craft (error handling, edge cases), and Boundary Values. It can catch critical issues like hardcoded secrets, logical flaws, and architectural inconsistencies, preventing them from reaching production.

Question 2

What is Nova?

Accepted Answer

Nova is a powerful Claude Code plugin that acts as an independent checkpoint within the AI orchestrator loop, verifying the correctness and reliability of AI-generated code through adversarial evaluation before it's committed or deployed.

Question 3

How does Nova ensure high-quality AI-generated code?

Accepted Answer

Nova enforces Generator-Evaluator Separation, ensuring that the AI agent writing code is always different from the one verifying it. This adversarial stance, combined with a hard-blocking pre-commit quality gate, prevents issues from shipping.

Question 4

What are Nova's core features for developers?

Accepted Answer

Nova offers 10 auto-apply rules for consistent LLM context governance, 5 specialist subagents (e.g., architect, security engineer) for targeted expertise, and self-evolution capabilities via `/nova:evolve` to stay updated with tech trends.

Question 5

Does Nova integrate with existing developer workflows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Nova integrates seamlessly into the Claude Code environment as a plugin. It automatically applies its quality gate to every conversation, with additional slash commands like `/nova:plan` and `/nova:check` for manual control and complex workflows.
