Feature Next FAQs

Question 1

When should I use the Feature Next skill?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill when working on specific backlog items, implementing new features from scratch, or when you want to follow a strict Red-Green-Refactor TDD cycle. It is triggered by commands like 'next feature' or 'what should I work on'.

Question 2

What does the Feature Next skill do?

Accepted Answer

Feature Next orchestrates a structured feature-driven development (FDD) workflow within Claude Code. It guides you through a standardized 'next → implement → check → done' cycle, ensuring every feature is developed with high quality and consistency.

Question 3

How does the skill prioritize features?

Accepted Answer

Feature Next uses an automated logic that prioritizes items marked as 'needs_review' or 'failing' first, followed by a numerical priority system. This ensures that broken features and high-stakes tasks are addressed before lower-priority backlog items.

Question 4

What is 'Strict TDD Enforcement' in Feature Next?

Accepted Answer

When active, this mode prevents you from writing implementation code until failing tests are established. It provides specific guidance for the Red (fail), Green (pass), and Refactor stages to ensure 100% test coverage for new features.

Question 5

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It removes decision fatigue by automatically prioritizing the most important tasks, enforces code quality through mandatory TDD guidance, and automates repetitive tasks like verification runs and commit management.
