SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you decide what to work on next by turning your existing project docs and git state into a prioritized “next move,” with an optional deeper interview when priorities are unclear.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fast mode one-shot prioritization: Recommends a top pick (and optional runner-up) by reading your project’s TODO/progress/goals plus recent git activity, then outputs a short plan for quick execution.
  • Deep mode multi-round discovery: Runs a structured interview (framing check + multiple rounds) to surface real pain, momentum, horizon alignment, and whether tasks are discovery vs execution before synthesizing a robust plan.
  • Effort-aware estimates: Translates human effort language into Claude Code/agent time equivalents so the recommendation matches how long autonomous runs typically take.
  • Safeguards against bad execution: Explicitly distinguishes discovery tasks (needs a spike) from execution tasks (can be run directly) to reduce stalled autonomous work.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to run next in fast mode by saying: /next.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide what project task to work on next?▼

To decide what project task to work on next, synthesize existing project docs and recent git activity to generate a prioritized top pick. This approach reads your TODO files and momentum to recommend a quick execution plan.

What is the best way to prioritize tasks when project goals are unclear?▼

Prioritizing tasks with unclear goals requires a deep mode multi-round discovery interview to surface real pain and horizon alignment. This structured framing distinguishes discovery spikes from direct execution work.

How do I prioritize backlog items using current git context?▼

Prioritize backlog items using current git context by reading recent commits alongside project progress documents. Fast mode one-shot prioritization outputs a top pick and runner-up based on this synthesized momentum.

Can I estimate agent time for autonomous project workflows?▼

You can estimate agent time for autonomous project workflows by translating human effort language into Claude Code time equivalents. Effort-aware estimates match recommendations to how long autonomous runs typically take.

When should I distinguish discovery tasks from execution tasks?▼

Distinguish discovery tasks from execution tasks to prevent stalled autonomous work and bad execution. Explicitly framing tasks as discovery spikes versus direct execution safeguards against autonomous agents running stalled work.
