## 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
4. **Home automation**: If `home_automation` is configured in `$PREFS_PATH`, probe Homey via `/ops:ops-home status` for active alarms before composing the priority stack.

## CLI/API Reference
### gh CLI (GitHub)
| Command | Usage | Output |
|---------|-------|--------|
| `gh pr list --state open --json number,title,statusCheckRollup,reviewDecision` | Open PRs with CI/review status | JSON array |
---
## 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
```!
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-ci 2>/dev/null || echo '[]'
```
### Competitor alerts (last 24h)
```!
source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/competitor/context.sh" 2>/dev/null \
&& competitor_priority_items --top 3 --window-days 1 2>/dev/null \
|| true
```
### 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 1.5 — HOME ALARMS (only if `home_automation` is configured in `$PREFS_PATH`)
Probe `/ops:ops-home status` for active alarms.
- Critical home alarms (smoke, water leak, security breach) → **top priority — recommend `/ops:ops-home alarm` immediately, above all other fires**.
- Energy anomalies (current draw > 3× 7-day baseline) → near-top, surface before competitor alerts.
- Routine home tasks (presence changes, flow failures) → low priority — fold into Priority 6 tail.
If `home_automation` is NOT configured, skip this priority silently.
### Priority 2 — COMPETITOR ALERTS
Check the competitor alerts pre-gathered data (last 24h window).
If `competitor_priority_items` returned lines (non-empty output):
- Surface each as: `REACT: <competitor> <source> changed — see latest-<brand>.md`
- Recommend the user open the latest report file (path from `competitor_context` → `by_brand.<brand>.latest_report`)
- If high-severity alerts exist → **recommend addressing before comms**
If the output is empty or the source block returned nothing, skip this priority silently.
### Priority 3 — 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 4 — 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 5 — 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 6 — 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.

```
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 <project-alias>"), 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.
