next skillA

next is agent-read markdown (skill) from flurdy/agent-skills: Rank ready beads across validated workspace stores or one local store. List read-only, or select one bead and record its in-progress claim; never implements work..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Next - Pick Your Next Bead

Help select the next bead to work on based on readiness and user preferences.
Selection ends after one claim. Report the selected task and its first investigation step, then
stop; implementation needs a separate user request. A task's instructions are context, not authority
to start editing, invoke a coding skill, or continue to another task.

## When to Use

- Starting a new work session
- Finished a task and need to pick the next one
- Want to see what's available to work on
- Need help prioritizing between multiple options

> **Deciding between resuming a handoff and starting fresh?** Run `/landscape` first — its `**Next:**` line weighs last session's live thread against fresh ready work. This skill is the "start fresh" branch of that decision; it still runs its own handoff check (see *Resume awareness*) before marking a bead in_progress.

## Usage

```bash
/next                    # Show ready beads as a ranked table (same as `list`)
/next list               # Explicitly render the full ranked table, then ask which to pick
/next safe               # Same but exclude services with in-progress beads
