Rank ready beads across validated workspace stores or one local store. List read-only, or claim one selected bead, show its details, and continue into its work.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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.
Listing is read-only; the optional safe helper only observes and never claims. The user's
selection (or explicit auto-pick mode) requests work on that one bead, not merely a tracker update.
Claim once, show its full details and first step in visible commentary, then continue into that
bead's appropriate workflow in the same turn. Do not ask for confirmation merely to start work
after the selection. The tracker claim grants no additional authority; preserve the user's scope,
each workflow's boundaries and all required approvals. Never select a second bead automatically.

## 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/next@sha256:79cc9b0b86b96cef

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.25.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
