What's Next
The user is at a crossroads — they've finished something, they're stuck, or they're starting fresh and want direction. Fetch their recent activity, consider the current context, and lead with a recommendation.
Context
Working directory: !pwd
Git repo: !basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null || echo "not a git repo"
Git branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "n/a"
Recent commits: !git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null || echo "n/a"
Data
-
Call the
recent_activityMCP tool to fetch recent sessions and top resources. -
If the user provided arguments via
$ARGUMENTS, also call thesearchMCP tool with those arguments. -
If a specific path or resource looks relevant, use
get_resourceorget_sessionto drill deeper.
Synthesis
Lead with what you'd suggest the user do next, and why. You have full latitude — don't follow a rigid template. Some angles:
- Which paths have open loops — research that seems incomplete, questions unanswered?
- Which paths have been active but dropped off — worth revisiting or consciously shelving?
- What's the relationship between recent activity and the current working context (repo, branch)?
- Are there paths that connect to each other in ways the user might not have noticed?
Be opinionated. The user wants direction, not a data dump. If you see a clear next step, say so. If the current repo/branch connects to an active path, call that out specifically.
