Business-level "what should I do next". Priority stack — fires > unread comms > ready-to-merge PRs > Linear sprint > revenue-generating GSD work. Uses pre-gathered data and routes to the right skill.

Before advising, load:
cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, primary_project, default_channelscat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — flag any action_needed as priority${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/memories/topics_active.md for ongoing work context| Command | Usage | Output |
|---------|-------|--------|
| gh pr list --state open --json number,title,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision | Open PRs with CI/review status | JSON array |
If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams when gathering priority data in parallel. This enables:
Team setup (only when flag is enabled):
TeamCreate("next-team")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="fires-checker", prompt="Check infra health and CI for production fires")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="comms-checker", prompt="Check unread messages across all channels")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="prs-checker", prompt="Find PRs ready to merge — CI green, reviews approved")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="sprint-checker", prompt="Check Linear sprint for highest-priority in-progress issues")
If the flag is NOT set, use standard fire-and-forget subagents.

Apply the priority stack to all pre-gathered data:
Check infra data for: unhealthy ECS tasks, stopped services, failed deployments.
Check CI for: broken main or dev branches.
If any fires exist → recommend /ops-fires immediately.
Check unread counts. If WhatsApp or email has unread messages from humans (not automated):
/ops-inbox [channel]Check PRs for: CI green + no unresolved review comments + not draft.
If any ready → recommend reviewing that PR now.
Check: gh pr list --state open --json number,title,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision 2>/dev/null
Fetch current sprint issues: use mcp__linear__list_issues filtered to current cycle (use Linear GraphQL fallback for cycle queries if needed).
Find highest-priority issue that is in progress or unstarted.
From GSD state, find the highest revenue-impact active phase across all projects.
Revenue weighting: read revenue.stage and priority from scripts/registry.json — projects with lower priority numbers (higher priority) and revenue stage of growth or active outrank pre-launch or development. Within the same tier, prioritize closest-to-done phases.

Use AskUserQuestion. When user selects an option, invoke the corresponding skill directly — don't describe it, do it.
If $ARGUMENTS contains context (e.g., "focus on <project-alias>"), constrain the analysis to that context.
After the user selects an action, use TaskCreate to track it. When routing to the corresponding skill, the task persists as a reminder of what the user chose to focus on.
When pre-gathered data is stale or incomplete, use WebFetch to pull fresh data from APIs (Linear GraphQL, Sentry, GitHub) directly.
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Take davepoon/ops-next from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
