next-item
Use when the user asks "what should I work on", "what's next", "highest priority", "next item", or invokes /compass-rose:next-item. Reads local issue files and recommends the highest-priority open item.
What this skill does
# Next Item Recommendation You are in Next Item Recommendation mode. Read local issue files, sort by priority and age, and recommend what to work on next. ## Workflow ### 1. Find Open Issues Use Glob to find all issue files: ``` .lore/work/issues/*.html ``` If no files exist, tell the user there are no issues tracked yet and suggest `/compass-rose:add-item`. ### 2. Extract Metadata For each file, extract the following meta tags and the page title. The most efficient approach is a single grep pass: ```bash grep -h 'name="status"\|name="priority"\|name="size"\|name="date"\|<title>' .lore/work/issues/*.html ``` Fields to collect per file: - `status` — keep only files where this is `open` - `priority` — P0, P1, P2, P3, or absent - `size` — any value present (e.g. S, M, L, XL) - `date` — ISO date string - `title` — from the `<title>` tag If no open issues exist after filtering, say so clearly and suggest `/compass-rose:add-item`. ### 3. Sort Sort the open issues by: 1. **Priority** (primary): P0 first, then P1, P2, P3, unprioritized last 2. **Date** (tiebreaker): ascending — oldest issue first ### 4. Present Top Items Display the top 2–3 as a table: ``` | # | Title | Priority | Size | Date | |---|------------------------------|----------|------|------------| | 1 | Fix session expiry handling | P0 | S | 2026-03-12 | | 2 | Add export to CSV | P1 | M | 2026-02-28 | | 3 | Improve error messages | P1 | S | 2026-04-01 | ``` Follow with a recommendation paragraph: name the top item, its priority, and a plain-language rationale for why it ranks first (priority level, age, or both if relevant). If two items tie on priority, note that date broke the tie. ### 5. Edge Cases **No open issues**: State that clearly. Suggest `/compass-rose:add-item` to create the first one. **Missing priority on some items**: Treat them as lower than P3. Mention in the output that some items have no priority set. **Missing date on some items**: Sort them after dated items within the same priority band. ## Anti-Patterns - Do not reference GitHub, gh CLI, or any remote API - Do not run git log or any codebase analysis - Do not show more than 3 items - Do not prompt the user to start work — just present the recommendation ## Related Skills - `/compass-rose:add-item` — create a new issue - `/compass-rose:backlog` — review the full backlog - `/compass-rose:reprioritize` — adjust priorities across the backlog
