Next Task

Intelligently determine and prepare the next action based on comprehensive context.

This enhanced version of 'next' considers:

• Current task states
• Recent activity
• Time constraints
• Dependencies
• Your working patterns

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Intelligent Next Action

1. Context Gathering

Let me analyze the current situation:

• Active tasks (in-progress)
• Recently completed tasks
• Blocked tasks
• Time since last activity
• Arguments provided: $ARGUMENTS

2. Smart Decision Tree

If you have an in-progress task:

• Has it been idle > 2 hours? → Suggest resuming or switching
• Near completion? → Show remaining steps
• Blocked? → Find alternative task

If no in-progress tasks:

• Unblocked high-priority tasks? → Start highest
• Complex tasks need breakdown? → Suggest expansion
• All tasks blocked? → Show dependency resolution

Special arguments handling:

• "quick" → Find task < 2 hours
• "easy" → Find low complexity task
• "important" → Find high priority regardless of complexity
• "continue" → Resume last worked task

3. Preparation Workflow

Based on selected task:

1. Show full context and history
2. Set up development environment
3. Run relevant tests
4. Open related files
5. Show similar completed tasks
6. Estimate completion time

4. Alternative Suggestions

Always provide options:

• Primary recommendation
• Quick alternative (< 1 hour)
• Strategic option (unblocks most tasks)
• Learning option (new technology/skill)

5. Workflow Integration

Seamlessly connect to:

• /project:task-master:start [selected]
• /project:workflows:auto-implement
• /project:task-master:expand (if complex)
• /project:utils:complexity-report (if unsure)

The goal: Zero friction from decision to implementation.
