whats-next

whats-next is a command for Claude Code from primeline-ai/evolving-lite. It costs 8 tokens per session (312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project check-in command that reads saved progress and the latest session notes, then reports where work stands and suggests a next action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review project status, continue after a break, and create a handoff note before ending a session.
Why use it?
It helps you resume coding without reconstructing what happened in the previous session. It also shows when no active project or handoff note is available.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 6d 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

Show where we are and what to do next.

Process

  1. Read project state:

    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/_memory/index.json for active project
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/_memory/projects/{project}.json for progress
    • Most recent file in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/_memory/sessions/ for last session summary
  2. Show status:

Project: {name or "No active project"}
Last session: {date} - {summary}
Progress: {last 3 entries}
Next step: {suggested next action}
  1. If no active project: List available project files in _memory/projects/ or suggest creating one.

  2. If resuming after a break: Check for handoff documents in _memory/sessions/ and present the most recent one.

Creating a Handoff

If the user is ending a session, create a handoff:

# Session Handoff - {date}

## What was done
- {action 1}
- {action 2}

## Current state
- {what's working}
- {what's broken/incomplete}

## Next steps
1. {most important next action}
2. {second priority}

## Open questions
- {anything unresolved}

Save to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/_memory/sessions/handoff-{date}.md

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.
