Commit Context Lookup
rohitg00/agentmemory
Traces a file, function or line back to the agent session behind its current commit, using git blame and a memory lookup, and reports only what the records show.
A skill your agent uses when the user wants a next-action recommendation based on current state — reads handoff/git/lessons/STATE and proposes top-3 by impact.

What it does
Next Action is an agent skill from AlexZio00/sovereign-skills. Use when the user wants a next-action recommendation based on current state — reads handoff/git/lessons/STATE and proposes top-3 by impact. Trigger: '/next', 'what should I do next', 'next action'. Proposes only, never executes.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: 20 production-grade skills for AI coding agents — setup, scope, discipline, code review, security, session management, governance, ops, and quality audits (eval-leakage… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants a next-action recommendation based on current state — reads handoff/git/lessons/STATE and proposes top-3 by impact
Example prompts
- “what should I do next”
- “next action”
- “/next-action”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c062683. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Next Action loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 627 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/next — Next Action Recommender
Dominant Variable
Is the proposed action actually high-impact based on current project state? — it must come from measured files, not guesses.
Purpose
Reads current project state and proposes the top 3 next actions by impact. Different from stepback (direction check) — stepback asks "am I doing the right thing right now", this asks "what should I do next". Different from session-start (handoff load) — session-start restores the prior session, this recommends actions from current state.
Discard if: right after session start (session-start already loaded the handoff + output state). User already gave a specific task.
Key Assumptions
- Project has a CLAUDE.md — if broken: propose from git status alone (reduced scope).
- Is a git repository — if broken: propose from filesystem scan alone.
Trigger
/next- "what should I do next"
- "next action"
Workflow
Step 1: Collect State (parallel, 30s cap)
Read the following 5 sources. Skip missing files.
memory/session-handoff-LATEST.md— "What to do now" sectiongit status --short— uncommitted changed filesgit log --oneline -5— recent work flowtasks/lessons.md—conf≥0.7lessons stale 30+ days (need re-application)docs/STATE.mdor~/.claude/STATE.md— PENDING blockers
Step 2: Derive Candidates
Extract action candidates from collected data. Check each candidate's own underlying source for freshness (the specific lesson's seen date, the specific commit referenced) — not just whether the handoff file as a whole is old:
- Handoff "what to do now" → candidate as-is, but verify the specific file/commit it references is still current
- Uncommitted files → "commit + push" or "needs verification"
- PENDING blocker trigger satisfied → "resolve blocker"
- Stale lesson → "re-apply/verify lesson"
- git log pattern → "continue ongoing work" or "pivot direction"
Step 3: Sort by Impact
Narrow candidates to 3. Sort criteria:
- Urgency — resolve blocker > verify uncommitted > handoff item
- Dependency — prerequisites for other work take priority
- Timeliness — time-sensitive items (data collection after market close, pre-deploy verification, etc.)
Step 4: Output
## Next Actions
1. **[action]** — [1-line rationale. State which source it came from]
2. **[action]** — [rationale]
3. **[action]** — [rationale]
Tell me the number and I'll start that work in the next message.Output then stop immediately — this skill's own execution ends here (Invariant 1). If the user picks a number, the main session starts that work on the next turn; this skill does not continue and execute it itself.
Scope Boundary
| Does | Does NOT |
|---|---|
| [READ] Read handoff/git/lessons/STATE | Execute the proposed action directly |
| [READ] Propose top-3 actions by impact | Modify code or create files |
| [READ] State the evidence source for each proposal | Start work without user confirmation |
Show full SKILL.md (244 more words)Show less
Invariants (never violate)
- Proposal only, never execute: recommend an action but never start it directly. Only proceed once the user picks. Violation → work executed without user intent.
- Evidence-based proposals: derive candidates only from git status/Glob/Read results. Never guess "this is probably needed". Violation → phantom proposals for nonexistent files/issues.
- 3-item cap: even with 10 candidates, narrow to 3. Prevents choice overload. Violation → user can't choose and defaults to "just handle it yourself".
- 10-line cap: output exceeding 10 lines is over-explaining. Violation → no longer distinguishable from stepback.
Error Recovery
| Failure Type | Recovery |
|---|---|
tool_failure | Skip the source that failed to read, propose from the rest (note: partial_read) |
missing_data | If both handoff and STATE are absent, propose from git status alone (note: minimal_mode) |
Rationalization Table
| Rationalization | Rebuttal |
|---|---|
| "5 recommendations would be more useful" | Beyond 3 is choice overload. 3 is the optimal number for action conversion (note: cap_violation) |
| "Just executing right away is faster" | Violates Invariant 1. Proposal and execution are different skills' jobs (note: scope_creep) |
| "Handoff alone is enough, why check git too?" | Handoff is a past snapshot. Current git status is the real state (note: stale_source) |
Truthful Reporting
- no mock deception: never conclude "nothing to do" without actually reading files.
- no silent brokenness: if a source fails to read, state
⚠️ failed to read [source name]explicitly.
Principles
- Current state is truth — the filesystem is authoritative, not memory
- Proposal is light, execution is heavy — this skill stays on the light side
