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.

How it works

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.
  • A press calls $.prompt.fill; the top suggestion goes to $.prompt.suggest.
  • turn.start: hides the suggestions.

Suggestions draw in the terminal. Other surfaces show nothing.

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

11// The fork is also handed the session's skills and slash commands
