What Next | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Determine the current stage of the active task and recommend the single best immediate next command, editor mode, and work complexity. Routes based on TASKSTATE.md, DECISIONS.md, and IMPLEMENTATIONPLAN.md without reopening broad discovery. Use when the user wants a fast operational answer for what to do next, when the task already has enough state to avoid rediscovery, and when the next step is not obvious from current artifacts. Do not use when the task is brand new (use task-init), when resuming after context loss (use resume-from-state), when the user wants a comparative explanation of multiple candidates, or when the task is stuck in a loop (use im-stuck).
