trekker:ready

Find unblocked tasks that are ready to be worked on, with full context from recent history.

IMPORTANT: /trekker:ready is a skill (invoke via Skill tool), NOT a bash command. Use trekker CLI as shown below.

Execution

Step 1: Search for Context (MANDATORY)

Before picking work, search for related past work:

# Search for what the user is working on
trekker search "<user's current focus area>"

# Search completed tasks for context
trekker search "<keywords>" --status completed

Why search first:

• Reveals past decisions and solutions you've forgotten
• May find completed work that informs the approach
• Prevents re-investigating solved problems

Step 2: Context Recovery via CLI (MANDATORY)

# Check for any in-progress work first
trekker --toon task list --status in_progress

# Review recent changes for context
trekker history --limit 10

Why this matters:

• Avoid picking up work that's already started
• Understand recent decisions and completions
• Recall context from previous sessions

Step 3: Find Ready Work

# Show all unblocked todo tasks with their downstream dependents
trekker --toon ready

The ready command returns tasks that:

• Have status todo
• Are top-level tasks (not subtasks)
• Have no incomplete dependencies blocking them

For each ready task, it also shows downstream dependents — tasks that are waiting on it to be completed.

Step 4: Get Full Context Before Recommending

For each candidate task, gather context via CLI:

# Task details
trekker task show <task-id>

# Change history for this task
trekker history --entity <task-id>

# Comments for context
trekker comment list <task-id>

# Dependencies
trekker dep list <task-id>

Prioritization

Present tasks sorted by priority (0=critical first). The ready command already returns tasks in priority order.

After Listing

Ask if the user wants to start working on one of the ready tasks. If yes, use /trekker:start <task-id> workflow.
