Frequently asked questions
- What does next-task do?
- Run one unattended IMPLEMENTATION iteration of the autonomous value-creation loop — steward any in-flight PR, fix interrupts (red CI / security / human bugs), or else build ONE queued `idea` issue on a branch off auto-dev and open a PR that squash-merges on green CI. Ideation lives in the next-idea skill; this skill consumes its queue. Use when the user says "次のタスク", "next task", "続きをやって", or wants autonomous progress without specifying what to do.
- How do I install next-task?
- Run git clone https://github.com/breaking-brake/cc-wf-studio ~/.claude/skills/next-task in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/breaking-brake/cc-wf-studio before installing.
- Is next-task free to use?
- next-task is publicly available on GitHub, but breaking-brake has not declared a standard open-source license (Other). Confirm the terms with the author before reusing it.
