yolo-next

yolo-next is a skill for Claude Code from CoriChui/yolo. It costs 88 tokens per session (698 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only helper that ranks what to work on next in a YOLO repository, a code repository using this project’s feature-tracking conventions. It considers work status, dependencies, stalled items, issues, and TODO markers in the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer what to pick up next, compare active and planned features, identify work that blocks other work, and recommend the top three choices with reasons.
Why use it?
It turns scattered project signals into a short priority recommendation without changing branches, briefs, or commits. This helps when a team has several unfinished or blocked features.

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

yolo-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 2d 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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

yolo-next

Recommend what to do next. Read-only: it never writes briefs, branches or commits. Status rules: ../../yolo/conventions.md.

Gather

  1. Derive every feature's status exactly as yolo-status does (landed, verified, in-progress, planned, cancelled, untracked-branch). Read each active brief's goal, milestone and depends_on.
  2. For in-progress branches, note the last commit date: git log -1 --format=%cr feature/<slug>.
  3. Count dependents: how many planned or in-progress briefs list each slug in depends_on.
  4. Open issues, if a forge CLI is available and authenticated: gh issue list --limit 20 or glab issue list --per-page 20. Skip quietly otherwise.
  5. Code markers: git grep -nE 'TODO|FIXME|HACK' on base, counted per file. Mention only clusters, not every line.

Rank

Apply these in order. Each rule only reorders within what the earlier rules left open.

  1. Finish before starting. A verified feature is one merge from done; it goes first.
  2. Continue live work. An in-progress branch touched in the last 7 days beats starting something new. With 3 or more in progress, recommend only finishing or cancelling, not starting.
  3. Decide on stalled work. In-progress with no commits for 7+ days: recommend continuing it or cancelling it (yolo-brief cancel). Don't let it sit silently.
  4. Unblock others. Among unblocked planned briefs, prefer the one with the most dependents, then the current milestone (the one with the most features already landed), then the oldest created_at.
  5. Outside signals. Bug issues and TODO clusters are candidates for non-feature work. Suggest them as plain fixes, not briefs, unless one is clearly a feature.
  6. Untracked branches. Flag them: brief them or delete them.

Output

The top 3, each with:

  • what: slug or issue, and one line on what it is
  • why now: the rule that ranked it, in plain words
  • unblocks: dependents, if any
  • next step: the exact command or prompt, e.g. git switch feature/<slug>, "verify ", "merge feature/", "brainstorm ", "cancel "

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.
