SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the “what should I do next?” problem by summarizing the current project mode, detecting freshness issues in key artifacts, and recommending the next most appropriate skill without requiring you to inspect everything manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State-aware project dashboard: Uses project-state-detector output plus recent progress history to summarize what’s happening now and what’s driving it.
  • Artifact freshness check: Flags .claude/ artifacts that haven’t been referenced in progress for 14+ days while the project is active.
  • Actionable recommendations: Produces a one-screen output including a prioritized recommended next skill, also-available options, and off-pattern (non-blocking) callable skills.
  • Use Case: After pausing for a few days or starting a new chat on an existing project, you can quickly get oriented and continue with the correct skill sequence.

Quick Start

Run /next to view a one-screen, state-aware dashboard with the recommended next skill and any stale artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check project status and see what to work on next?▼

To check project status and see what to work on next, use a progress tracking dashboard that summarizes recent project activity, evaluates artifact freshness, and recommends the next workflow step.

How do I find stale artifacts in an active project?▼

To find stale artifacts in an active project, check artifact freshness against your progress history. The system flags .claude/ artifacts unreferenced in progress logs for 14 or more days during active project status.

What is the best way to get oriented when resuming a paused project?▼

The best way to get oriented when resuming a paused project is to generate a state-aware dashboard. It reads recent progress logs, detects project mode, and provides a prioritized next skill recommendation.

How do I select the right workflow after starting a new chat on an existing project?▼

To select the right workflow on an existing project, run a project state detection check on your progress files. The output recommends a prioritized next skill along with available options to match your current project mode.

Do I need a progress file to track project status and recommendations?▼

Yes, you need a .claude/progress.md file to track project status and generate recommendations. The system requires reading this file to summarize progress history and determine the appropriate next skill.
