next

next is a skill for Claude Code from rube-de/cc-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,740 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An issue-triage helper for GitHub, a service where software projects track bugs and tasks. It examines open issues, maps which ones depend on others, detects circular dependencies, and recommends what to do next.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review open GitHub issues, identify work that is ready to start, choose high-impact tasks, and optionally assign a selected issue.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of manually sorting issues and spotting tasks that are blocked. Its ranking considers factors such as whether an issue unblocks others, priority, type, age, and milestone.

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 8d 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: Issue Triage & Recommendation

Analyze open GitHub issues, build a dependency graph, and recommend the highest-impact issue to work on next.

Workflow

1. Fetch & Pre-process → 2. Build Dependency Graph → 3. Detect Cycles
→ 4. Rank Issues → 5. Present Recommendations → 6. Select & Assign

Step 1: Fetch and Pre-process Issues

Run the open-issues.sh script from the plugin's scripts/ directory:

# Auto-detect repository from current directory
sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/open-issues.sh"

# Or specify repository explicitly
sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/open-issues.sh" OWNER/REPO

# Include assigned issues in results
sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/open-issues.sh" --include-assigned

Validate the response:

  • Check stderr for a JSON error object — if present, abort with the error message (auth failures, missing tools, repo detection failures are handled by the script)
  • Extract and store the full JSON output as $ISSUES_DATA

Edge case — no issues: If .total_open == 0, report "No open issues found" (if --include-assigned was used) or "No unassigned issues found (try --include-assigned to include assigned items)" (default mode) and stop.

Edge case — 100+ issues: If .total_open >= 100, warn: "Results capped at 100 issues. Consider filtering by label or milestone for a broader view."

The JSON output contains pre-computed fields for each issue:

  • blocked_by, blocks — parsed from issue body patterns (Blocked by:, Blocks:, Depends on:)
  • blockers_resolvedtrue if all blockers are closed (not in the open issue set)
  • unblockedtrue if no open blockers remain
  • age_days — days since issue creation
  • milestone_due_on — milestone due date (ISO 8601) or null
  • dependency_graph.edges[[blocker, blocked], ...] pairs for graph analysis

Step 2: Build Dependency Graph

The script pre-computes blocked_by and blocks arrays per issue, and provides dependency_graph.edges as [[blocker, blocked], ...] pairs.

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 rube-de/cc-skills (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,740 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 2026-08-31.
