whats-next

whats-next is a command for Claude Code from glittercowboy/taches-cc-resources. It costs 22 tokens per session (903 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that analyzes the current conversation and writes a detailed handoff document. The document records the original request, completed work, findings, decisions, and remaining tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when pausing a complex coding, research, analysis, writing, or configuration task and needing someone else to continue it.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when work moves to a fresh conversation or another agent.

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

whats-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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a comprehensive, detailed handoff document that captures all context from the current conversation. This allows continuing the work in a fresh context with complete precision.

Instructions

PRIORITY: Comprehensive detail and precision over brevity. The goal is to enable someone (or a fresh Claude instance) to pick up exactly where you left off with zero information loss.

Adapt the level of detail to the task type (coding, research, analysis, writing, configuration, etc.) but maintain comprehensive coverage:

  1. Original Task: Identify what was initially requested (not new scope or side tasks)

  2. Work Completed: Document everything accomplished in detail

    • All artifacts created, modified, or analyzed (files, documents, research findings, etc.)
    • Specific changes made (code with line numbers, content written, data analyzed, etc.)
    • Actions taken (commands run, APIs called, searches performed, tools used, etc.)
    • Findings discovered (insights, patterns, answers, data points, etc.)
    • Decisions made and the reasoning behind them
  3. Work Remaining: Specify exactly what still needs to be done

    • Break down remaining work into specific, actionable steps
    • Include precise locations, references, or targets (file paths, URLs, data sources, etc.)
    • Note dependencies, prerequisites, or ordering requirements
    • Specify validation or verification steps needed
  4. Attempted Approaches: Capture everything tried, including failures

    • Approaches that didn't work and why they failed
    • Errors encountered, blockers hit, or limitations discovered
    • Dead ends to avoid repeating
    • Alternative approaches considered but not pursued
  5. Critical Context: Preserve all essential knowledge

    • Key decisions and trade-offs considered
    • Constraints, requirements, or boundaries
    • Important discoveries, gotchas, edge cases, or non-obvious behaviors
    • Relevant environment, configuration, or setup details
    • Assumptions made that need validation
    • References to documentation, sources, or resources consulted
  6. Current State: Document the exact current state

    • Status of deliverables (complete, in-progress, not started)
    • What's committed, saved, or finalized vs. what's temporary or draft
    • Any temporary changes, workarounds, or open questions
    • Current position in the workflow or process

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.
