What problem does it solve? When an AI coding session ends or gets compacted, the next session loses all context about what the user wanted, what shipped, and what was already tried. This Skill defines the format and quality bar for NEXT.md, a living handoff briefing that lets a fresh session resume work without asking "what were we doing?" ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured handoff format: Defines the agent-written half of NEXT.md (Last user ask, Just finished, Next, Blocked on, Tried and failed, Context, Proposed next ask) above a machine-maintained state block. - Solo and team modes: Supports a single shared .hero/NEXT.md or per-user briefings under .hero/next/<user>.md with a shared team roster and updates section. - Update discipline rules: Specifies exactly when to overwrite the agent half (intent shifts, blockers, rejected approaches) versus leaving it alone, with a 15-40 line target and 60-line hard cap. - Use Case: After a long debugging session, the agent updates NEXT.md with the real error message, the two approaches that failed, and a runnable next step, so tomorrow's session resumes productively in one read. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to read the current NEXT.md via hero next path and update the handoff briefing with what was just finished and what comes next.
