Next Task
Implement the next sequential task from a local plan created by /to-tasks.
The most important thing this skill enforces: one task per context window. After each task is committed, stop and prompt the user to clear the context before continuing.
.tasks/ holds one feature's plan at a time.
Asking questions
Whenever you put a question to the user — one of the steps below, or an ad-hoc question when something is unclear or has drifted (a vague task, a detail that surfaces mid-work) — ask it and wait for their answer before carrying on.
The approval and finish gates below are stricter than an ordinary question: they're fixed confirmations with nothing to choose between, and only an explicit proceed opens one.
Workflow
1. Find the next task
Look in .tasks/. The "next task" is the lowest-numbered NN-*.md file that still exists (excluding TODO.md).
