next

next is a skill for Claude Code from NVZver/claude-marketplace. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that recommends the next item from a project backlog or roadmap. A backlog is a list of unfinished work, while a roadmap shows planned work and its priority.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing what to build next, ordering backlog items, and identifying the highest-priority unfinished roadmap task.
Why use it?
It helps turn project status into a concrete next step, using a quick answer for simple requests or dependency, risk, and value analysis when the user asks for sequencing.

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 9d 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.

Next

Recommend the next backlog item to work on. A plain "what's next" returns the highest-priority backlog/not started roadmap row directly (fast-path, no dispatch); a "recommend an order" / "what should I pick" question dispatches the project-manager agent for dependency/risk/value sequencing and runs its returned pick gate. Does not contain recommendation logic — that lives in the agent and ../../knowledge/sequencing-heuristics.md. The dispatch → gate → re-render loop is the shared contract at ../../knowledge/roadmap-orchestration.md.

Goal

Tell the user what to build next — instantly for a plain "what's next", with dependency/risk/value reasoning when they ask for an ordering or selection — without manually reading roadmap state or invoking the agent directly.

Input

  • None required. The roadmap is the entry point; the agent reads ambient state (roadmap, pitches, branches, specs) internally.
  • The fast-path contract at ../../../core/knowledge/fast-path-source-of-truth.md — governs the Step 0 branch that answers a plain "what's next" directly from the roadmap before dispatch.

Steps

  1. Fast-path branch: "what's next" → cited roadmap item (before dispatch). When the question shape is a plain "what's next" / "what's the next backlog item" (per ../../../core/knowledge/fast-path-source-of-truth.md §"Question-shape detection"), do NOT dispatch the agent. Get the highest-priority backlog/not_started item of the ${specs_root}/roadmap.yaml ledger and quote it inline with its file:line citation per the shared knowledge file's §"Citation format", then exit cleanly. Run the roadmap-row extractor (this repo: bash scripts/roadmap-row.sh, which prints that item + its path:line deterministically from the YAML — Pro-safe, zero model tokens) and quote its output — do not whole-file-read the ledger on this happy path. Only if the extractor exits non-zero (no ledger / no backlog item — its fallback contract) do you fall through to a model-side read of ${specs_root}/roadmap.yaml. Reserve the full agent dispatch in Step 1 for explicit "recommend an order" / "what should I pick" / "sequence the backlog" questions — those need the agent's dependency/risk/value reasoning. Fall through to Step 1 — with an observable note — if the extractor reports no backlog item, the ledger is empty, or the question carries the ordering/sequencing intent above. Observable result: either the highest-priority backlog item is quoted with its file:line citation and the skill exits, or an observable fall-through note and Step 1 dispatches the agent.

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.
