What problem does it solve? When a project's planning state lives in many markdown entities (epics, milestones, ADRs, gaps), it is hard to answer "what should I work on next?" without re-reading everything. This Skill reads the aiwf planning tree and turns scattered open work into a prioritized, actionable synthesis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tiered open-work landscape: Classifies every open epic, milestone, gap, and ADR into five tiers by leverage on future work, from compounding fixes to defer-until-forced items. - Recommended sequence and first-decision fork: Produces a numbered before/after/parallel action sequence plus an A/B/C option fork with pros, cons, and an explicit lean. - Pending-decision Q&A gate: Walks open decisions one at a time with context, options, and a lean, never batching questions. - Gitignored WHITEBOARD.md cache: Writes a regeneratable snapshot of the synthesis that is never committed, keeping the live tree as the single source of truth. - Use Case: After several sessions of planning, ask "what should I work on next?" and receive a tiered table of all open items, a concrete next-action sequence, and a guided walk through pending decisions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to draw the whiteboard and synthesize the open work in the current aiwf planning tree.
