Build with Nova by combining repository inspection, plans, guarded tool execution, diffs, and verification. The current CLI is a terminal agent, not an autonomous deployer.
State the outcome, constraints, and verification command. Ask Nova to inspect first, make the smallest change, run relevant checks, and summarize the diff. Use worktrees for isolated changes and MCP only when an external capability is required.
Nova can propose or apply changes only through the tools and policy available to the current session. Review all edits and do not treat a generated answer as test evidence.
