Runtime Context

Before advising, load:

1. Preferences: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, primary_project, default_channels
2. Daemon health: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — flag any action_needed as priority
3. Ops memories: Check ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/memories/topics_active.md for ongoing work context

CLI/API Reference

gh CLI (GitHub)

Agent Teams support

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams when gathering priority data in parallel. This enables:

• Agents share context and can coordinate mid-flight
• You can steer priorities in real-time
• Agents report progress as they complete

Team setup (only when flag is enabled):

TeamCreate("next-team")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="fires-checker", prompt="Check infra health and CI for production fires")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="comms-checker", prompt="Check unread messages across all channels")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="prs-checker", prompt="Find PRs ready to merge — CI green, reviews approved")
Agent(team_name="next-team", name="sprint-checker", prompt="Check Linear sprint for highest-priority in-progress issues")

If the flag is NOT set, use standard fire-and-forget subagents.

Pre-gathered data

Infrastructure & fires

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-infra 2>/dev/null || echo '{"clusters":[]}'

Git & PRs

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-prs 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

CI status

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-ci 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'

Unread messages

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-unread 2>/dev/null || echo '{}'

GSD active phases

for d in $(jq -r '.projects[] | select(.gsd == true) | .paths[]' "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json" 2>/dev/null); do
  expanded="${d/#\~/$HOME}"
  if [ -f "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" ]; then
    alias=$(basename "$expanded")
    cat "$expanded/.planning/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | head -30
    echo "---NEXT---"
  fi
done

Your task

Apply the priority stack to all pre-gathered data:

Priority 1 — FIRES

Check infra data for: unhealthy ECS tasks, stopped services, failed deployments. Check CI for: broken main or dev branches. If any fires exist → recommend /ops-fires immediately.

Priority 2 — URGENT COMMS

Check unread counts. If WhatsApp or email has unread messages from humans (not automated):

• Estimate urgency from sender/preview if available
• If urgent comms → recommend /ops-inbox [channel]

Priority 3 — READY-TO-MERGE PRs

Check PRs for: CI green + no unresolved review comments + not draft. If any ready → recommend reviewing that PR now. Check: gh pr list --state open --json number,title,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision 2>/dev/null

Priority 4 — LINEAR SPRINT

Fetch current sprint issues: use mcp__linear__list_issues filtered to current cycle (use Linear GraphQL fallback for cycle queries if needed). Find highest-priority issue that is in progress or unstarted.

Priority 5 — GSD WORK

From GSD state, find the highest revenue-impact active phase across all projects. Revenue weighting: read revenue.stage and priority from scripts/registry.json — projects with lower priority numbers (higher priority) and revenue stage of growth or active outrank pre-launch or development. Within the same tier, prioritize closest-to-done phases.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 TOP PRIORITY: [fires|comms|PR|sprint|gsd]
 ▶ [specific action in one sentence]

 WHY: [1-2 sentence rationale]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Full priority stack:
 1. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
 2. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
 3. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
 4. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
 5. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 a) Do #1 now
 b) Do #2 now
 c) Show me everything (/ops-go)
 d) I'll decide — just show the briefing

 → Pick or describe what you want
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Use AskUserQuestion. When user selects an option, invoke the corresponding skill directly — don't describe it, do it.

If $ARGUMENTS contains context (e.g., "focus on "), constrain the analysis to that context.

Native tool usage

Tasks — action tracking

After the user selects an action, use TaskCreate to track it. When routing to the corresponding skill, the task persists as a reminder of what the user chose to focus on.

WebFetch — enrichment fallback

When pre-gathered data is stale or incomplete, use WebFetch to pull fresh data from APIs (Linear GraphQL, Sentry, GitHub) directly.
