What is Nova Kernel?
The Constitutional AI Operating System. Orchestrate Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Codex as one team — shared memory, shared skills, shared agents. The unfair advantage: route every task through your existing IDE subscriptions (Antigravity, ChatGPT) so multi-model collaboration costs $0 in API spend.
What's in v0.1.0
6 closed loops, all running automatically
- Task Identification —
nova_task_plan(intent)returns matching skills/agents/warnings -
- Execution Telemetry — every agent call writes feedback memory (failure 100% / success 12.5% sampled)
-
- Skill Distillation — 6h cron clusters feedback into skill proposals via Sonnet 4.6
-
- External Discovery — 24h cron checks npm versions + LLM rates skill freshness
-
- Constitutional Council — 3-vote async council (Opus + Gemini Pro + Sonnet) + user approval
-
- 4-Way Projection — under 10ms sync to Claude / Codex / Workspace / Antigravity
8 self-maintenance crons
arch-snapshot 30m / gap-detector 60m / daily-digest 24h / connectors 60m + live / kernel-watch live / skill-miner 6h / memory-hygiene 12h / external-scout 24h
Multi-model routing
| Worker | Best at | Routed via | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | Code reasoning | ag-bridge :11435 | $0 (Antigravity sub) |
| Claude Opus 4.6 Thinking | Deep planning | ag-bridge | $0 (Antigravity sub) |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro High | Long-context | direct | $0 (free tier) |
| Gemini 3 Flash | Classification | direct | $0 (free tier) |
| GPT-5 / Codex | Code review | Codex CLI | $0 (ChatGPT sub) |
| Local bge-m3 | Embeddings | Ollama | $0 (local) |
41 MCP tools, 7 agents (1 internal + extensible registry), 8 connector probes
Constitutional risk gating
L0 hard-locked / L1 auto-execute / L2 24h veto / L3 mandatory council vote — AI cannot rewrite its own rules.

Status
Alpha. Single-user, JSONL backend, Windows + Linux tested. Bootstrapped end-to-end with Driver Claude (Sonnet 4.6) on a 2x RTX 5080 + 64GB Win11 workstation — built and reviewed in collaboration with Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro High, and Codex CLI — the same team Nova orchestrates.
