Introduction
next-prompts is a Claude Code mod with a panel above the prompt that does three things:
- Next prompts: after each turn, Haiku reads the last 3 exchanges plus project state (goal, open tasks,
git status) and proposes 3 prompts ordered by impact; with unfinished tasks, #1 continues the next one. Click one or type1/2/3and Enter to send it. - Estimate timer: registers
mcp__next-prompts__estimateand adds a system-prompt rule asking Claude for a time estimate before changes. Until then, main-session Edit, Write, NotebookEdit and Bash are refused (subagents exempt). A bar shows elapsed time, projected finish and the plan, turning yellow when over. - Goal and tasks: picks up TodoWrite / TaskCreate / TaskUpdate and shows the goal, a progress bar and per-task timings.
Requests over 2 minutes end with a toast plus, on macOS, a sound and a system notification. There is no marketplace manifest or license file; install by cloning into ~/.claude/mods/next-prompts and enabling it as a plugin. Settings are constants in the code. It is a separate project from Anthropic's next-steps.
Who it is for
- People who want ready-to-send next prompts after each turn
- People who want to see Claude's time estimate and task progress
Requirements
- No marketplace manifest: clone into ~/.claude/mods/next-prompts, then enable it as a plugin.
- The sound and notification use afplay and osascript, so they are macOS-only.
- Settings are constants at the top of hooks/register.tsx.
