How does Think Ahead differ from standard Claude Code execution?

While the standard worker focuses on implementing code, Think Ahead acts as a strategist that evaluates the landscape and plans the most efficient path forward.

Can this skill help identify deployment blockers?

Yes, it is designed to spot external dependencies like missing Google Cloud credentials or environment setup issues before they stall development.

What project data does this skill analyze?

It reads your current git status, staged changes, unstaged work, and the last 10 commits to understand your project's trajectory.

How do I activate the Think Ahead skill?

Simply type 'think ahead' during your Claude Code session to trigger the analysis and planning phase.

Productivity & Workflow

Analyzes your development state and project trajectory to provide strategic planning and dependency mapping between execution phases.

About

Think Ahead acts as a strategic AI partner within Claude Code, bridging the gap between feature execution and long-term planning. While the worker instance focuses on building, this skill monitors the repository's state—including git status, diffs, and commit history—to identify potential blockers, map technical dependencies, and suggest the most logical next steps. It ensures your development arc remains coherent and efficient by providing a high-level overview of what has been shipped versus what remains in the pipeline, allowing you to maintain momentum without losing sight of the broader project goals.
