Fork of next-steps (MIT, Thariq Shihipar): suggested next prompts are always written in Ukrainian. Install INSTEAD of next-steps.

After each turn, suggests up to three next prompts above the input box.
next:
1: run the tests you just wrote
2: do the same for the settings page
3: /code-review high
0: dismiss
Press 1, 2 or 3 from an empty prompt box (or click one) and that prompt is written into the box as a draft. Edit it, then press Enter yourself. 0 dismisses. The top suggestion also shows as the box's dim ghost text, so Tab takes it.
The plugin never submits a prompt on its own.
It is a function-hooks plugin (hooks/register.tsx):
turn.complete: forks the session with $.model.fork to ask for likely next prompts. The fork shares the session's prompt cache, so it costs about one short reply.$.command.list: the session's skills and slash commands (plugin, user and MCP ones with their descriptions) go into the fork's question, so a suggestion can be /skill arguments. A suggestion that names a command the session does not have is dropped.ui.render on AbovePrompt: draws the suggestions as buttons.$.prompt.fill; the top suggestion goes to $.prompt.suggest.turn.start: hides the suggestions.Suggestions draw in the terminal. Other surfaces show nothing.
| Option | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
minAnswerChars | 80 | Skip suggestions after answers shorter than this |
suggestSkills | true | Tell the suggester which skills and slash commands the session has |

4// next-steps: when a turn ends, fork the session (shares the prompt cache, so
5// it has full context for the price of one short reply) and ask for up to
6// three likely next prompts. Draw them as 1/2/3 buttons in the band above the
7// composer; a press writes that prompt into the real composer as the person's
8// draft ($.prompt.fill) for them to edit and Enter; 0 dismisses. The top
9// suggestion is also offered as the composer's dim Tab-to-take ghost text
10// ($.prompt.suggest). Nothing is submitted by the plugin, so no origin framing.
11// The fork is also handed the session's skills and slash commands
12// ($.command.list), so a suggestion can be "/skill arguments".
