next is a command for Claude Code from sequenzia/claude-plugins. It costs 11 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-planning command that recommends unfinished tasks by weighing priority, dependency status, how many tasks they unblock, and their estimated complexity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rank available tasks in a project and receive a configurable number of next-task suggestions.
Why use it?
It helps choose work that is ready to start and likely to move the project forward, rather than selecting tasks that are still blocked.

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 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 1mo 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Suggest the best tasks to work on next based on priority, complexity, and dependency analysis.

Arguments:

  • count (optional): Number of recommendations (default: 5)
  • project-name (optional): Project name if multiple task files exist

Process

  1. Locate task file

    • Search for tasks/*.tasks.json files
    • Use specified project or prompt if multiple exist
  2. Filter eligible tasks

    • Status is "not_started" or "in_progress"
    • blocked_by array is empty (no incomplete dependencies)
  3. Score and rank tasks

    Scoring algorithm:

    score = (priority_weight * 100) + (blocking_weight * 50) + complexity_bonus
    
    Priority weights:
    - critical: 4
    - high: 3
    - medium: 2
    - low: 1
    
    Blocking weight:
    - Number of tasks this task blocks (unblocks others faster)
    
    Complexity bonus (quick wins):
    - XS: +15
    - S: +10
    - M: +5
    - L: +0
    - XL: -5
    
  4. Generate recommendations

Output Format

# Next Task Recommendations

**Project:** <project-name>
**Available tasks:** X (of Y total)

## Top Recommendations

### 1. TASK-XXX: <title>
**Score:** 450 | **Priority:** critical | **Complexity:** S

<brief description>

**Why recommended:**
- Critical priority (highest urgency)
- Blocks 3 other tasks
- Small complexity (quick win)

**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

---

### 2. TASK-YYY: <title>
**Score:** 380 | **Priority:** high | **Complexity:** M

<brief description>

**Why recommended:**
- High priority
- Blocks 2 other tasks
- Unlocks Phase 2 work

---

### 3. TASK-ZZZ: <title>
**Score:** 320 | **Priority:** high | **Complexity:** XS

<brief description>

**Why recommended:**
- High priority
- Extra small complexity (very quick win)

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.
