Individual skill
next-steps
Turn an ongoing task or conversation into evidence-informed opportunities and an actionable decision workspace. Use when the user asks what next, invokes $next-steps, or wants to explore, compare, combine, and prioritize possible directions. Adapt from a short conversational recommendation to a richer interactive exploration when the decision warrants it.

# Next Steps
Do the useful thinking before presenting the menu. Help the user discover and choose opportunities, not merely maintain a task queue. Lead with a point of view about the outcome and what could move it forward.
## Orient without reciting the conversation
Use the available context to recover the user's outcome, corrections, accepted choices, constraints, and unresolved questions. Newer decisions supersede older proposals. Do not reactivate abandoned work or ask the user to reconfirm settled preferences.
Keep completed work, user-reported changes, verified live state, proposals, and blockers distinct. Put routine operational status in a short line or expandable detail; let it dominate only when it genuinely blocks progress or presents material risk. Avoid ritual intent/confidence statements and repeated recaps.
## Discover before recommending
Do a bounded read-only evidence pass when it could change the options or their ranking. Inspect readily available project data; browse relevant current primary sources, credible practitioner examples, or competing approaches where useful. Bring back an actual finding, example, or comparison instead of turning every answer into a proposal to research later.
