Nova promises to listen better, respect boundaries and stop making unnecessary changes, for a price. Most of that you can get today, from the model you already pay for.

Four upgrades that cost nothing

  1. Smaller tasks. One clear change per request beats a wish list.
  2. The right context. The relevant files and errors, not the whole repository.
  3. An example. Show one function written the way you want the next one.
  4. A finish line. Say how you’ll check the result (see “Define Done Before You Start”).

If results are still poor after all four, then try the stronger model. Now you’ll know it was the model.
