next

next is a command for coding agents from AutomateLab-tech/agency-os. It costs 0 tokens per session (206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays the highest-priority tasks currently marked “To-Do.” It can limit the list to a specific group of tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing upcoming tasks, filtering by group, and checking recurring work that may be overdue.
Why use it?
It gives you a short work queue without starting any task. This helps you see what should be handled next.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

next scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Command: next [N] [--corpus=<s>]

Show top N (default 3) To-Do tasks. Does not execute.

  1. Sync preflight.
  2. Filter: Status == "To-Do" and (if --corpus given) matching corpus and Parent Task IS NULL (only top-level).
  3. Sort by Priority (1 first; unset last), then Type (recurring with overdue Last Done first), then Created ascending.
  4. Print N rows: <idx>. [<priority>][<corpus>][<type>{<cadence>}][<effort>] [<title>](<url>) (/agency-os start <id>).

For recurring tasks, "overdue" = now - Last Done exceeds the cadence interval (daily=1d, weekly=7d, biweekly=14d, monthly=30d, quarterly=90d, yearly=365d).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

next is a command published in the GitHub repository AutomateLab-tech/agency-os (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 206 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
