next

next is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nullphase-net/enfurbish. It costs 43 tokens per session (726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manual command for reading the newest NEXTSESSION.md handoff file, a note that records what remains from an earlier coding session. It briefs the user on pending work when the automatic session-start check did not run or needs repeating.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when resuming a project, checking pending tasks mid-session, or finding the newest handoff across project folders.
Why use it?
It helps continue work from the correct handoff instead of relying on an outdated note in the current folder.

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 3d 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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/next — manual NEXT_SESSION read

Use when the user wants to pick up where the last session left off and either the SessionStart hook didn't surface anything, was disabled, or the user wants to re-consult later in the session.

Procedure

  1. Find the handoffs. The skill's lib scripts live at the plugin root, two levels up from this SKILL.md. Use the base directory Claude told you about for this skill:

    bun run "<skill-base-dir>/../../lib/handoffs.ts" --cwd "$(pwd)"
    

    The report lists every NEXT_SESSION.md under the project root, newest first, * on the newest and [local] on the one in the current cwd. Read the header line before anything else — it names the count and, when the local pointer is not the newest, how far behind it is.

  2. Read the pointer the report marks *. Not the local one, unless they are the same file. Cwd varies between sessions in one project — an autonomous run in a subdirectory writes its own handoff — and reading the cwd-local file because it was closest is what cost a session real turns on 2026-08-18.

    • If the local file is not the newest, say so in one line before summarizing: which file you read, and how much staler the local one is.
    • If there are no handoffs at all: tell the user nothing is staged and stop. Don't synthesize a follow-up plan from thin air.
  3. Summarize "Start here" and "Open threads" in 2-3 sentences.

    • Mention the wrap timestamp from the file header so the user knows how stale it is.
    • An item the last session flagged as untested is a hypothesis, not a finding. Present it as one — never as a settled result.
  4. Ask the user which thread to pick up.

    • Don't start work yet. Wait for them to choose.

What this skill does NOT do

  • Write or modify any file. /next is read-only by design.
  • Touch the tooling journal or retro files.

Edge cases

  • +Nh after header on a line means the file moved after its own **Last wrapped:** header was written — mid-session reconciles the header does not describe. Trust the content over the header timestamp.
  • stamp:edited means the file no longer matches the stamp /wrap wrote — someone hand-edited it since. Worth mentioning; hand-written items are usually the most load-bearing ones. stamp:assistant means it is exactly as the last wrap left it.
  • If NEXT_SESSION.md exists but is empty or has no ## Open threads items, treat it as "stale stub" — tell the user it exists but holds nothing actionable.
  • If the file is over ~16KB, summarize aggressively rather than reading the whole thing back. Long handoff files are a smell; flag it. Read the "Don't forget" section in full regardless — that section is where hard-won gotchas live, and a 2026-08-16 session spent two days re-deriving a fact staged there.

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.

next is a skill published in the GitHub repository nullphase-net/enfurbish (1 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 726 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
