npx claudepluginhub teamspwk/novaAI Agent Ops framework for Claude Code — independent evaluator, adversarial review, and pre-commit quality gate for AI-generated code.
TeamSPWK
Verify Before You Ship. Every Time.
AI coding tools make you type faster — but the real bottleneck isn't typing. A single wrong decision in week 1 compounds into a full rewrite by week 4. Nova structures design decisions to eliminate rework.
Nova is a Claude Code plugin that acts as a Quality Gate for AI-assisted development. It verifies generated code and orchestrates complex multi-project workflows. Independent evaluation, multi-AI cross-verification, and design-implementation gap detection.

Nova is a checkpoint inside the AI orchestrator loop. It verifies that generated code is correct, and orchestrates complex multi-step workflows when needed.

The core principle is Generator-Evaluator Separation: the agent that writes code and the agent that verifies it are always different. This prevents the "reviewing your own homework" trap.
Nova works by engineering Claude Code's harness layer — the hooks, commands, agents, and skills system that wraps around the LLM. Instead of changing what the model knows, Nova controls when, how, and under what rules the model operates.

| Layer | File | Mechanism | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rules injection | hooks/session-start.sh | SessionStart hook | Injects 10 auto-apply rules into every session as LLM context |
| Commands | .claude-plugin/*.md | Slash commands | User-invocable workflows (/nova:plan, /nova:review, etc.) |
| Agents | .claude-plugin/agents/*.md | Subagent types | Specialist agents with domain-specific checklists |
| Skills | skills/*/SKILL.md | Skill system | Complex multi-step operations (evaluation, jury, context chain, orchestration) |
| MCP Server | mcp-server/ | stdio MCP | Exposes Nova rules, state, and tools to any Claude Code session |
Key distinction: "Auto-apply rules" means session-start.sh injects rule text into Claude's context at session start. Claude then follows these rules as behavioral guidelines — it's prompt-level governance via the harness, not a code-level interceptor.
Once installed, Nova's Quality Gate automatically applies to every conversation — no commands needed. Just describe your task in natural language.
