# /whats-next — Smart Action Suggestions
Scan context → rank priorities → suggest top 3 actions.
## Usage
```
/whats-next # Scan everything, suggest top 3
/whats-next --issues # Focus on open issues only
```
## Steps
### 1. Gather Context (parallel)
```bash
# Open issues
gh issue list --state open --limit 10 --json number,title,updatedAt,labels \
--jq '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.title) [\(.labels | map(.name) | join(","))]"' 2>/dev/null
# Git status
git status --short
git log --oneline -3
# Open PRs
gh pr list --state open --json number,title,headRefName \
--jq '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.title) (\(.headRefName))"' 2>/dev/null
# Latest handoff
PSI=$(readlink -f ψ 2>/dev/null || echo "ψ")
ls -t "$PSI/inbox/handoff/"*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs head -30 2>/dev/null
# Stale branches
git branch --list | grep -v '^\*' | grep -v main
```
### 2. Analyze & Rank
| Signal | Weight |
|--------|--------|
| Uncommitted changes | High |
| Open PR needs merge | High |
| Handoff pending items | Medium |
| P0/P1 issues | Medium |
| Stale branches | Low |
| Old issues | Low |
### 3. Output
```markdown
## What's Next?
### 1. [Top priority action]
Why: [reasoning from signals]
How: `[command or /skill]`
### 2. [Second action]
Why: [reasoning]
How: `[command or /skill]`
### 3. [Third action]
Why: [reasoning]
How: `[command or /skill]`

Pick one, or tell me what you'd rather do.
```
## Rules
- Max 3 suggestions — not a dump
- Each suggestion has a concrete command or skill
- Never repeat what /recap shows — this is about ACTION not STATUS

More from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli
- about-oracleWhat is Oracle — told by the AI itself. Origin story, stats, family count, ecosystem overview. Use when someone asks "what is oracle", "about oracle", "tell me about this project", or wants the origin story. Do NOT trigger for "who are you" (use /who-are-you), "philosophy" (use /philosophy), or session status questions.
- alpha-featureFull skill development pipeline — create, compile, test, commit, install. Use when user says "new skill", "create skill", "alpha-feature", or wants to build a skill end-to-end.
- auto-retrospectiveConfigure auto-rrr and auto-forward triggers based on context window usage. Use when user says "auto rrr", "auto-scale", "configure auto triggers", "change rrr interval", "toggle auto", or wants to adjust when /rrr and /forward auto-trigger. Do NOT trigger for running /rrr manually (use /rrr) or creating handoffs (use /forward).
- awakenGuided Oracle birth and awakening ritual. Default is Soul Sync (~20min), or --fast (~5min). Use when creating a new Oracle in a fresh repo, when user says 'awaken', 'birth oracle', 'create oracle', 'new oracle', or wants to set up Oracle identity in an empty repository. Do NOT trigger for general repo setup, git init, or project scaffolding without Oracle context.
- bampenpienบำเพ็ญเพียร — diligent practice. A guided conversation between human and Oracle about doing hard things without knowing why. Like /awaken but repeatable — a practice, not a birth. Use when user says 'bampenpien', 'บำเพ็ญเพียร', 'why am I doing this', 'hard work', 'keep going', 'what am I building', or needs to reconnect with purpose through difficulty.
- birthPrepare Oracle birth props for a new repo — Issue #1, MCP thread, identity data. Use when user says "birth", "new oracle", "prepare repo", or wants to bootstrap a new Oracle before /awaken.
- budCreate a new oracle via maw bud — yeast-colony reproduction. Use when user says "bud", "new oracle", "create oracle", "spawn oracle", or wants to create a new permanent oracle from the current one.
- create-shortcutCreate local skills as shortcuts — makes real /commands in .claude/skills/. Use when user says "create shortcut", "create skill", "make a command for", "add shortcut", or wants a quick custom /slash-command. Also lists and deletes local skills. ALSO triggers on "Unknown skill", "skill not found", or any unrecognized /slash-command — auto-creates it on the fly.
- digMine Claude Code sessions — timeline, gaps, repo attribution, session history. Use when user says "dig", "sessions", "past sessions", "timeline", "what did I work on", or wants to see session history. Do NOT trigger for finding code/projects (use /trace), exploring repos (use /learn), or current session status (use /recap).
- feelCapture how the system feels — energy, momentum, burnout, breakthrough. Emotional intelligence for Oracle-human collaboration. Use when user says 'feel', 'how are we', 'energy check', 'burnout', 'momentum', or wants emotional awareness of the work.
