Overview¶
Nova AI is a production-ready multi-agent orchestration system powered by Claude Code SDK. It automates software development workflows with specialized agents, SDK MCP tools, and intelligent task decomposition.
What is Nova AI?¶
Nova AI extends Claude Code with:
- 6 Specialized Agents - Orchestrator, architect, implementer, code-reviewer, tester, debugger
- 3 SDK MCP Servers - In-process tools (KB search, GitHub ops, memory) with 10-100x speedup
- 11GB Knowledge Base - FAISS-indexed expert knowledge across 37 domains
- Workflow Automation - Task → Planning → Implementation → Review → Refinement
Key Capabilities¶
Multi-Agent Orchestration¶
Coordinate multiple specialized agents to handle complex software development tasks:
/novaai implement user authentication with JWT
# → Orchestrator decomposes task
# → Architect plans architecture
# → Implementer writes code
# → Code-reviewer validates
# → Tester runs tests
# → Output: Complete, tested feature
SDK MCP Servers (10-100x Faster)¶
In-process MCP servers provide instant access to:
- Knowledge Base - Semantic search across 11GB of expert knowledge
- GitHub - PRs, issues, commits, reviews
- Memory - Persistent context across sessions
Cost Optimization¶
- Prompt Caching - 90% cost reduction on cache hits
- Session Continuation - 88-95% overhead reduction
- Sonnet 4.5 - Optimized for agentic workflows
Use Cases¶
Development Workflows¶
- Feature implementation with architectural guidance

- Test generation and execution
- Bug fixes with root cause analysis
CI/CD Integration¶
- Automated code review in PRs
- Security scanning
- Test coverage reporting
- Documentation generation
Knowledge Management¶
- Semantic search across project documentation
