What problem does it solve?

Prioritize the next work items by analyzing current TASKS.md and recent sessions to help keep momentum and reduce context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze TASKS.md and recent sessions to surface 1-3 concrete next actions with rationale.
  • Consider explicit priorities, blockers, in-progress items, momentum, and phase order to maintain workflow coherence.
  • Output concise, actionable recommendations that can be acted on in subsequent steps.

Quick Start

Ask ctx-next to generate 1-3 concrete next actions with rationale based on the current TASKS.md and recent sessions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize next work items from a TASKS.md file and recent sessions?

Task prioritization analyzes your TASKS.md and recent session history to output 1-3 concrete next actions. It evaluates explicit priorities, blockers, in-progress work, momentum, and phase ordering to help you decide what to work on next without context switching.

What is the best way to reduce context switching in multi-task projects?

To reduce context switching in multi-task projects, analyze current tasks and recent sessions to surface 1-3 actionable recommendations. Evaluating momentum and phase ordering maintains workflow coherence by providing clear, immediate next steps with rationale.

When should I use AI planning for task prioritization during a session?

AI planning for task prioritization applies at session start, after task completion, or when priorities are unclear. It evaluates explicit priorities and blockers to output actionable recommendations, helping maintain momentum whenever your workflow direction is uncertain.

Can I get concrete next actions when in-progress work has unresolved blockers?

Yes, analyzing in-progress work with unresolved blockers generates concrete next actions. The context analysis evaluates blockers alongside explicit priorities and momentum to recommend the best path forward, ensuring workflow coherence despite impediments.

Does task prioritization work without explicit priorities defined in my workflow?

Task prioritization works without explicit priorities by evaluating recent session momentum, in-progress items, and phase ordering. It analyzes available context from tasks and sessions to recommend next steps, though explicit priorities improve recommendation accuracy.

Why does context analysis recommend 1-3 next actions instead of a single task?

Context analysis recommends 1-3 next actions to provide flexibility while maintaining focus. Evaluating explicit priorities, blockers, and phase ordering outputs a small set of actionable recommendations with rationale, reducing context switching without over-constraining workflow choices.
