After every Claude Code turn, Up Next recommends the one step worth taking next: checked against what the turn actually did, never risky, and sent in one click.
It is advice, not a guess at what you will type.
[paste] is dropped), and it is always something Claude can do: when the best next move is yours alone, such as trying the result yourself or making a decision, Up Next stays quiet. VERIFY run the tests you just wrote
the change is unverified
[Run] [Edit] [Dismiss]
| Where | What you get |
|---|---|
| Terminal | The card above, in the band above the message box (click a button, or press ctrl+x then Tab to move focus into the band, Tab to the button, Enter to press it). The step is also dim ghost text in the message box (Tab takes it, then Enter sends), with its reason in the status line. Edit puts the step in the message box for changes. |
| Desktop app (Code tab) | The same card above the message box. Edit opens the step in a field in the card, because the app doesn't let mods write into its message box. |
VS Code chat panel, claude -p, the Agent SDK | Mods draw nothing here, so Up Next does nothing. |
The step is tagged VERIFY, UNBLOCK, ADVANCE or SKILL (a slash command from your session). A step you dismiss is not suggested again this session.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
minAnswerChars | 80 | Skip advice after answers shorter than this. |
showReason | on | Show why the step is worth doing, under the step and in the status line. |
groundAdvice | on | Note which files were edited and which checks ran or failed this turn, and tell the advisor. |
suggestSkills | on | Tell the advisor which skills and slash commands the session has. A step naming one the session lacks is dropped. |
/plugin install up-next --marketplace miles-chu10/up-next
Answer y to add the marketplace, then pick a scope. From a shell, claude plugin install up-next --marketplace miles-chu10/up-next does the same (Claude Code 2.1.292 or later). In the desktop app's Code tab, install it from a terminal like that, or add the marketplace and then use + > Plugins > Add plugin. A user-scope install is shared by the terminal, the desktop app and VS Code on the same computer. If a session is already open, run /reload-plugins.
Or try it from a clone:
claude --plugin-dir ./up-next
Once it is listed in the community directory:
claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
claude plugin install up-next@claude-community
Claude Code only: the terminal and the desktop app's Code tab. It does nothing in claude.ai chat or Cowork. Requires Claude Code 2.1.287 or later, and was tested with 2.1.299; the mods API can change between releases.
Up Next replaces the built-in prompt suggestions (they are dropped where they pass through the plugin), so turn the desktop app's own Prompt suggestions off if both still appear. Do not run it beside another next-prompt suggester such as next-steps: each would draw its own suggestions and spend its own model call.
The idea of giving the advisor your session's skills, and the approach to cleaning model output before it reaches the screen, follow Anthropic's next-steps plugin (MIT, by Thariq Shihipar). Up Next's code is its own.

hooks/register.tsx 425 lines1// Up Next: when a main-loop turn ends, fork the session (it shares the prompt
2// cache) with an advisor prompt and offer the one step most worth taking next,
3// with its reason. Nothing is ever sent on its own: the step goes out only when
4// the person presses Run (or Enter in the editor).
5//
6// - terminal and desktop app: a card in the band above the message box (Run,
7// Edit, Dismiss), the step as the message box's ghost text and its reason
8// in the status line. The desktop app's message box is out of a mod's
9// reach, so there Edit opens a field in the card instead.
10// - Where nothing draws (the VS Code chat panel, claude -p, the Agent SDK) no
11// advice is worked out, since nobody could see it.
12//
13// The engine's own guesses at the next prompt are dropped where they pass
14// through prompt.suggest, so only one suggestion shows.
