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 11d 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's Next

Surface the 3 most impactful things to do right now based on all available context.

Preferences

Read ~/.claude/skills/whats-next/preferences.md using the Read tool. If not found, no preferences are set.

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: current git branch, uncommitted changes (git status --short), unstaged working tree changes (git diff --stat), staged changes (git diff --cached --stat), recent commits (git log --oneline -5), ahead/behind upstream, your open PRs (gh pr list --author @me --state open --limit 10), review requests for you (gh pr list --search "review-requested:@me" --state open --limit 5), and recently modified files in client-mission/ directories (find client-mission/ -type f -mmin -60 2>/dev/null | head -20). Skip any that fail.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

  • help → display help then stop
  • config → interactive setup then stop
  • reset → delete ~/.claude/skills/whats-next/preferences.md, confirm, stop
  • anything else (including empty) → analyze and suggest

  /whats-next reset              Clear preferences
  /whats-next help               This help

  PRs       Your open PRs, review requests, stale PRs
  Linear    In-progress, blocked, assigned to you
  Session   Current conversation, decisions, files discussed

Priority signals (highest to lowest):
  1. Blockers    — things others wait on you for
  2. Session     — continue/finish the active task in this conversation
  3. Unblocked   — items just became ready
  4. Momentum    — continue active work
  5. Stale       — PRs/tickets aging
  6. Deadlines   — approaching due dates

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.
