A development skill that recommends the next spec to implement.

Note: This is a skill, not a slash command. Claude automatically selects and uses it based on the work context.

Overview

The dev-next skill analyzes the dependency graph and recommends the next spec to implement. It prioritizes specs with no dependencies or dependencies that are already satisfied.

Trigger Conditions

Claude automatically uses this skill when receiving requests like:

• "What's next", "next task", "what should I implement"
• "next", "what's next"

Usage Example

User: What should I implement next?

  - 3 other specs depend on this module
  - Implementation difficulty: Low

### Spec Overview
Input data validation utilities

### Key Features
- Email format validation
