Core Idea
In Short
Automation collects the work Nova can run repeatedly or on demand, with clear context, variables, secrets, and traceable runs.
What belongs here?
- Organizes recurring work as scheduled or manually triggered tasks.
- Keeps execution context, workspaces, variables, and secrets together.
- Makes runs, results, and failures traceable so automations can be reviewed.
- Trigger Schedule or manual start
- Context Goal, variables, secrets
- Run Bounded tool work
- Proof Logs, result, failures
Automation flow
From task to proof
