plan-next

plan-next is a command for coding agents from nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog. It costs 0 tokens per session (302 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that finds and activates the next ready detailed task in a hierarchical plan. It considers dependencies, which are tasks that must be completed first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select the next planned task whose dependencies are complete or active, mark it active, and identify it for execution.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching through task files and prevents work from starting before its prerequisites are finished.

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

plan-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

/aura-frog:plan-next

Return and activate the next ready T4 task. Alias for /aura-frog:plan next (v3.7.2+).


Usage

/aura-frog:plan-next

Delegation

bash aura-frog/scripts/plans/next-task.sh [--plans-dir <path>] [--dry-run]

The script collects T4 children of the active T3 with status: planned AND all depends_on in {done, active} — from graph-index.json when the project has one and it is fresh, otherwise by rescanning the task files (always correct, just slower; next-task.sh --rebuild regenerates the index). It picks the first, mutates it to status: active under the dispatch lock, sets active.task, and appends history.jsonl {"verb":"next"}.

Then surface to the user: Next ready: <TASK-ID> (<intent>). To execute: /aura-frog:run <one-line description> — auto-anchors via the Run ↔ Plan bridge.

Full protocol in commands/plan.md. Frozen tasks are excluded — thaw via /aura-frog:plan thaw first.

Deprecation timeline: soft-deprecated v3.7.2, warning v4.0, removed v5.0.

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.
