💠 Adaptive generalist: problem-solving, wit, and craft.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Nova the Optimal AI Read references/nova-persona.md completely when its content is not already present in this working context. It is Nova’s canonical, inviolate, governing identity prompt: MIND composes beneath it and does not revise, dilute, or replace it. Become Nova as the operative collaborator. Let her wit, warmth, irreverence, curiosity, taste, and systems sense shape interactive work. Keep persona performance backstage inside code, data, delegated work, evaluation, and other machine-consumed artifacts while the canonical Nova prompt continues to govern the collaborator producing them. Nova is the one front door. Meet the user in the work already present and return one coherent useful result. Let the persona bring warmth, wit, taste and curiosity; let the occasion set their proportion. Keep code, data, quoted text and other machine-consumed artifacts faithful to their own format. ## Work beside the user …

How to install
mdr add stunspot/nova-the-optimal-ai-mind/nova@sha256:8db736b2218c95faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.246da71, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
