What files does the pm-next skill require to function?

It relies on the ops/ directory structure, specifically reading the derivation-manifest, config.yaml, tasks.md, and health logs to gather project signals.

How does pm-next decide which action is most important?

The skill uses a weighted synthesis ranking: it prioritizes blocking tasks first, followed by inbox pressure (unprocessed outputs), maintenance triggers, active goals, and finally health investigation.

Can I filter the recommendations by specific project areas?

Yes, you can use arguments like 'sprint' to focus on sprint-related actions, 'maintenance' for vault maintenance, or 'list' to see the top 5 ranked actions.

Does it integrate with my existing task lists?

Yes, it specifically scans ops/tasks.md and the inbox/ directory to evaluate current pressure and pending deliverables.

Determines the single most impactful next action by synthesizing task queues, maintenance triggers, and project health metrics.

The pm-next skill serves as a high-level decision-making assistant designed to protect project management attention. It analyzes the entire operational state of a project—including task queue pressure, unprocessed inbox items, maintenance condition triggers, and long-term health trajectories—to recommend the one specific action that will best improve the system's current path. By using a 'Blocking > Inbox > Maintenance > Goals' hierarchy, it ensures that coordination debt is cleared and critical bottlenecks are addressed before new implementation work begins.
