Overview
Research summary
Nova provides a terminal-first workflow for inspecting repositories, planning changes, editing files, running shell and Git commands, generating tests, and reviewing results. It can operate through its own CLI or as an Agent Client Protocol server for compatible editors. Within the wider Compass Platform, sessions, skills, agents, usage information, and configuration can synchronize with desktop and web interfaces.
Documented capabilities include semantic codebase indexing, persistent and exportable sessions, selectable model providers, reusable skills, configurable subagents, and manual, automatic, or strict approval modes. File backups, undo support, and external-modification detection provide additional safeguards around edits. Local model support is available through Ollama, while platform-backed features require Compass authentication and services.
The linked GitHub repository contains a README, changelog, license, and media assets rather than an implementation source tree. Its MIT license therefore covers those published repository materials, not evidence of an open-source Nova core.
