pace-next

A next-step recommender for a development project.

In plain words
What is it for?
It recommends the most important next action, explains the reasoning, or lays out a journey for work such as a new feature, iteration, hotfix, or release.
Why use it?
It combines information about work items, releases, measurements, risks, and larger goals so the team does not have to inspect every project area manually.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

pace-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect-signals.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

/pace-next — 下一步导航

跨域全局导航:综合 CR、迭代、Release、度量、风险、Epic/Opportunity 等多维信号,推荐当前最该做的 1 件事。

输入

$ARGUMENTS:

  • (空)→ 最高优先级 1 条建议(默认,≤ 3 行)
  • detail → 展开候选列表(≤ 8 行,含 top-3 建议)
  • why → 展开推理链(2-5 行,信号扫描 + 优先级对比 + 角色影响 + 备选)
  • journey [模板名] → 展示完整工作流路径:从当前状态到目标的分步引导
    • 可选模板:new-feature(默认)、iterationhotfixreleaseonboarding
    • 无模板名 → 根据当前项目状态自动选择最匹配的模板

执行路由

重要:根据 $ARGUMENTS 值,仅读取对应的输出规程文件,不加载全部规程。所有模式先加载 skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md(核心决策逻辑)。

参数 加载文件
(空) skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md + skills/pace-next/next-procedures-output-default.md
detail skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md + skills/pace-next/next-procedures-output-detail.md
why skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md + skills/pace-next/next-procedures-output-why.md
journey skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md + skills/pace-next/next-procedures-journey.md

流程

Step 1:检测项目状态

  1. 检查项目根目录是否存在 .devpace/state.md
  2. 不存在 → 输出未初始化引导(见 skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md),结束
  3. 存在 → 继续

Step 2:采集信号

读取 .devpace/ 下的数据源(目录/文件不存在时静默跳过):

数据源 读取内容
backlog/*.md CR 状态、类型
state.md 当前工作摘要
releases/*.md Release 状态
risks/*.md 风险严重度
iterations/current.md PF 完成率、周期
metrics/dashboard.md 最近更新日期
project.md MoS、PF/BR/OBJ 映射
integrations/sync-mapping.md 同步状态(存在时)
epics/*.md Epic 状态、BR 列表
opportunities.md Opportunity 状态

提取关键状态字段(不全量读取)。额外采集 CR→PF→BR→Epic→OPP 价值链映射。

Step 3:优先级决策

从高到低遍历信号分组,取首个命中(判断细节见 skills/pace-next/next-procedures.md):

信号
Blocking S1 审批阻塞(in_review > 0)· S2 高风险阻塞(High 且 open)
In Progress S3 继续开发(developing CR)· S4 恢复暂停(paused 阻塞解除)
Delivery S5 Release 待验证 · S6 风险积压(open > 3)· S7 迭代紧迫(< 2 天且 < 50%)· S8 迭代接近完成(> 80%)
Strategic S9 回顾提醒(> 7 天 + merged)· S10 缺陷占比(> 30%)· S11 同步滞后(> 24h)· S12 MoS 达成(> 80%)
Growth S13 功能未开始 · S14 规划新迭代 · S15 全部完成 · S16 Epic 需分解 · S17 未评估机会 · S18 功能树稀疏 · S19 范围未定义 · S21 依赖阻塞 · S22 技术债积压 · S24 首次循环引导
Idle S20 无信号

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

pace-next is a skill published in the GitHub repository arch-team/devpace (73 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,381 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
