Nova CI-Rescue is an autonomous AI agent that automatically detects and fixes failing tests in continuous integration (CI) pipelines. When your CI tests fail, Nova analyzes the errors, generates targeted code fixes, and creates pull requests for review — all without human intervention.

## Key Features

## How It Works

Nova operates through a six-stage agent loop that mimics how a human developer would fix failing tests:

1

2

3

4

## Quick Example

When a test fails in CI:

Nova automatically:

1.  Analyzes the failure
2.  Generates a fix (example):

3.  Creates a PR with the fix

## Why Nova?

### Save Developer Time

-   **Automated fixes**: No manual debugging of simple test failures
-   **Faster feedback**: Get fixes in minutes, not hours
-   **Focus on features**: Let Nova handle the tedious fixes

### Improve Code Quality

-   **Consistent fixes**: Nova follows best practices
-   **Test coverage**: Optionally generates tests for fixes
-   **Audit trail**: Every change is documented

### Safe and Controlled

-   **Branch isolation**: Never touches main/master directly
-   **Size limits**: Conservative changes only
-   **Human review**: All fixes go through PR review

## Architecture Overview

Nova’s architecture is built around an intelligent agent loop:

## Supported Environments

Coming soon. Today Nova focuses on Python projects (pytest, unittest) and runs as a CLI so it can be added to most CI systems. We’ll publish a complete compatibility matrix as we expand coverage.
