/suede-recommend-next-action · Agent orchestration & workflows — the pack's decision layer
Stop asking "what should I do next."
This skill reads current repo, terminal, plan, or handoff state, scores 2-4 candidate moves against goal alignment, unblocking, evidence, urgency, and leverage, and hands back exactly one recommendation — packaged as a short, self-contained prompt you can paste and run. The full operator brief and a granular, command-level breakdown stay hidden until you ask for them.

/suede-recommend-next-action
Ask in plain words. The router reads the request and loads this lane; MCP agents find it with list_suede_skills.

How it scores a move
Every candidate is scored 0-2 on five criteria; the highest total wins. Ties break toward the required prerequisite, then the action confirmable by current evidence, then the more reversible choice.
| Criterion | 2 points | 1 point | 0 points |
|---|
| Goal alignment | Directly produces the done signal | Required prerequisite | Merely adjacent |
| Unblocking | Unlocks a core path or 2+ steps | Unlocks one step | Unlocks nothing known |
| Evidence | Confirmed by current source | Confirmable with one check | Depends on an assumption |
| Urgency | Active failure, deadline, or gate | Needed for the milestone | No current pressure |
| Leverage | One session, prevents rework | Bounded, moderate payoff | Unscoped or low-payoff |
What it covers
- Read-only inspection of current terminal, repo, plan, or handoff state — never mutates files, deployments, or accounts while recommending.
- A default quick prompt: 2-4 runnable sentences naming the skill, target, outcome, one decisive fact, and a done signal.
- An expanded prompt on request ("expand prompt"): full operator contract with target, objective, verified state, authorized scope, and verification steps.
- A granular prompt on request ("make it granular"): the expanded prompt decomposed into atomic numbered steps with exact commands.
- Refuses vague recommendations like "keep working" or "improve the app" — names a command, artifact, decision, edit, or verification result.
- Defers to a repo's existing plan, progress doc, or issue tracker instead of creating a second one.
When to use it
- The user asks "what's next," "what should I do next," or "recommend the next move," especially after a review, audit, plan, or stalled task.
- The user asks to "give me the prompt," "expand prompt," or "make it granular."
- Choosing between two or more plausible next steps with limited context to spare.
- NOT for executing the recommended action without separate authorization.
- NOT for coordinating a multi-lane build across specialists — use suede-agent-teams instead.
Best prompt
Use $suede-recommend-next-action to give me one next move and a short runnable prompt. Expand it only if I ask.
