SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When working on a project with many available skills and lifecycle phases, it is hard to know which action to take next. This Skill inspects your project's adoption files and project management tool state to determine the single most relevant next step, removing guesswork at the start of a session or when switching tasks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project State Detection: Reads adoption files (PRD, architecture, tech stack, way-of-working) and classifies each as populated or template to detect fresh versus established projects. - Cascading Recommendation Algorithm: Runs ordered checks across a 30-skill catalog covering process skills (PRD creation, planning, implementation, review) and capability skills (assessments, quality gates, estimation). - PM Tool Integration: Queries the configured PM tool (GitHub Projects, Jira, Linear) to inspect backlog state such as initiatives, epics, stories, tasks, and open pull requests. - Use Case: At the start of a work session, run the navigator to learn that your epics exist but no stories are broken down, and get a recommendation to run story planning next. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze the current project state and recommend which skill to run next.

Frequently Asked Questions about next

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I know which skill to run next in my project?▼

Run the next skill, which reads your adoption files and PM tool backlog state, then applies a cascading algorithm to recommend the single most relevant skill. It presents the project state summary and asks for confirmation before proceeding.

How does the next skill detect a fresh project?▼

It checks whether the PRD and tech adoption files contain template placeholders like bracketed product names. If the PRD is a template it suggests creating the PRD first; if the PRD is populated but most tech files are templates it suggests bootstrap.

What project management tools does the next skill support?▼

It discovers the PM tool by reading the way-of-working adoption file, supporting tools such as GitHub Projects, Jira, and Linear. If the PM tool is not accessible, it skips backlog checks and bases recommendations on adoption files only.

Does the next skill modify my project files or backlog?▼

No, the skill is read-only. It inspects adoption files and PM tool state to produce a recommendation but never modifies files, issues, or backlog items.

What happens if the recommended skill is not installed?▼

The skill degrades gracefully by telling you which skill is needed and where to find it. If adoption files cannot be read at all, it suggests running bootstrap as the entry point.
