SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines your workflow by automatically identifying and presenting your next actionable task from your issue tracking system, eliminating the need to manually search or decide what to work on next.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Prioritization: Automatically ranks ready tasks based on impact score (unblocked count, priority, epic continuity).
  • Contextual Awareness: Detects in-progress issues and suggests them first.
  • Seamless Integration: Works with 'beads' issue tracking to ensure your work is always up-to-date.
  • Use Case: When you're ready to code, simply invoke /next and the Skill will either show you the issue you were already working on, or present a prioritized list of ready tasks, allowing you to claim and start work immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize tasks from my issue tracking system by impact score?▼

Task prioritization by impact score ranks ready issues based on unblocked dependents count, priority level, and epic recency. This ensures high-impact issues are surfaced first, reducing manual search and decision fatigue.

What is the best way to automatically find my next actionable development task?▼

Finding your next actionable task requires checking for in-progress work first, then ranking ready tasks by impact. This workflow automation surfaces the most critical issue, allowing you to claim and start implementation immediately.

How do I claim tasks and initiate implementation workflows from a tracker?▼

Claiming tasks and initiating implementation workflows happens directly after the system presents a prioritized list. You can select an issue to start coding immediately, streamlining developer productivity without manual assignment steps.

Does prioritization consider epic continuity when ranking ready tasks?▼

Yes, epic continuity is a factor in the impact score calculation. Ready tasks are ranked using dependents count, priority, and epic recency to ensure work aligns with ongoing project goals and maintains development momentum.
