next-steps

next-steps is a command for Claude Code from navraj007in/architecture-cowork-plugin. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,962 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project guide that recommends which commands to run next. It uses the project's current stage, previous work, and unfinished prerequisites to rank the recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose the next three commands, or request up to ten with more detail. It can point out blockers, explain its ranking, and estimate how long each step may take.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from choosing the next task when a project has many available commands. It also helps avoid running steps in the wrong order.

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-steps 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 11d 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 — 357 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/architect:next-steps

Analyzes your project state (_state.json + _activity.jsonl) and recommends the 3 most impactful next commands to run. Saves ramp-up time, prevents wrong-sequencing, unblocks progress.

Trigger

/architect:next-steps
/architect:next-steps [--verbose]  # show detailed reasoning
/architect:next-steps [--all]      # show top 10 (not just 3)

Purpose

With 63 commands, users often ask: "What do I run next?"

This command answers it by:

  1. Detecting project stage (concept → mvp → growth → enterprise)
  2. Identifying what's done (from activity log history)
  3. Spotting blockers (missing prerequisites, stale outputs)
  4. Ranking by ROI (impact × urgency × dependency chain)
  5. Showing ETAs (estimated time to complete)

Example outputs:

Your project is at GROWTH stage. Next 3 commands:

1. 🔴 CRITICAL: /architect:generate-tests
   → Reason: Tests enable scaling confidence; currently missing for 8 components
   → Blocked by: Nothing (scaffold already done)
   → Est. time: 45 min
   → Why now: You've been implementing for 3 weeks without tests; technical debt risk high

2. 🟡 HIGH: /architect:design-system
   → Reason: Unify UI; colors/fonts inconsistent across team
   → Blocked by: Nothing (can run anytime)
   → Est. time: 15 min
   → Why now: Many new UI PRs; design tokens will reduce review friction

3. 🟢 MEDIUM: /architect:setup-monitoring
   → Reason: Observe production before launch; catch issues early
   → Blocked by: /architect:setup-cicd (deploy pipeline needed first)
   → Est. time: 20 min
   → Why now: You're 4 weeks from launch target; monitoring setup is critical path

## Your Next 3 Priorities

### 1. 🔴 CRITICAL: /architect:generate-tests

**Reason:** Tests missing for 8 components; team velocity blocked by manual testing; tech debt risk high after 3 weeks of implementation

**What it does:**
- Generate unit, integration, e2e test suites
- 3 test frameworks supported (Jest, Vitest, Mocha)
- Auto-detect from scaffold structure
- Outputs ~500 test cases across components

**Prerequisites:** ✅ All met
- ✅ Scaffolded project exists
- ✅ SDL has entity definitions
- ✅ Source files exist (will be analyzed)

**Estimated time:** 45 minutes

**ROI:** 
- Blocks: `/architect:production-readiness` (needs 80% test coverage)
- Enables: Confident refactoring, safer deployments
- Value: Reduce regressions 60-70%, catch bugs before production

**Next command after this:** `/architect:security-scan` (verify test patterns don't have holes)

**Run it:**
```bash
/architect:generate-tests

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.

nyann:retrofit

Audit an existing repo against a profile and fix what's drifted. Unlike doctor (read-only), retrofit detects missing hooks, misconfigured gitignore, documentation gaps, and non-compliant history, then offers to remediate via bootstrap. Idempotent — safe to re-run.

nyann:apply

Apply an Infrastructure-as-Code change — the highest-stakes mutator in nyann; it can change real cloud infrastructure. Re-runs the plan, shows it, confirms, then applies. Unmistakably opt-in: apply is never the default and destructive applies require a second explicit confirm. For IaC apply intent only (not "apply a…

nyann:hotfix

Create the branch topology for a patch release against a previously tagged version. Ensures release/ . exists from the source tag, then creates hotfix/ off it. After this, the user commits the fix and runs /nyann:release from the hotfix branch.

nyann:release

Cut a release: generate a CHANGELOG section from Conventional Commits, make a release commit, and create an annotated tag. Defaults to conventional-changelog strategy.

nyann:ship

Open a GitHub pull request AND merge it in one step. Default uses GitHub's native auto-merge (returns immediately with outcome:"queued"); --client-side polls for green CI in the foreground then runs gh pr merge. Requires gh installed + authed.

nyann:cleanup-branches

Prune local branches whose work is already merged into the base. Lists candidates first, then applies on --yes. Mirrors the safe-delete semantics of git branch -d (lowercase d): nothing unmerged is touched.
