PREREQUISITE: Read

../ghpm-shared/SKILL.md

for prerequisites and error handling.

• /ghpm-suggest

  — open-ended recommendation

• /ghpm-suggest <constraint>

  — any natural language constraint, e.g.:
  • "I have 2 hours"
  • "I want to switch context"
  • "I want to focus on frontend work"
  • "something small"

• Current repo: !

  git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null

• Current branch: !

  git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null

• Recent commits: !

  git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null

• Changed files: !

  git diff --stat HEAD~5..HEAD 2>/dev/null

• GitHub user: !

  gh api user --jq '.login' 2>/dev/null

1. Project config (required): Follow the startup sequence in

   ../ghpm-shared/SKILL.md

   .
2. Project items (required): Load cache per

   ../ghpm-shared/references/cache.md

   . Focus on non-Done items: ReadyForDev, Planned, InProgress.
3. Session context: Use the auto-injected values above. If GitHub user is available, find items assigned to them in cache. Find items in Done status assigned to user (these indicate completed work, but no completion date is available).
4. Relevant views (optional — skip if session context unavailable):
   • If in a repo that matches a component, that component's view is relevant.
   • Team standup views that match the user's assignments are relevant.
   • Triage views are always relevant (unassigned work).

1. With all context assembled, reason about what to suggest. Consider:
   • Proximity: items in the same repo/component as current work require less context-switching.
   • Momentum: items related to recently completed work — the user has warm context.
   • Status: ReadyForDev items are higher priority than Planned (already vetted).
   • Dependencies: items unblocked by the user's recent completions (parent/sub-issue relationships if visible in cache).
   • Size: if the user mentioned time constraints, prefer smaller items.
   • Breadth: if the user wants to switch context, suggest items in different components.
   • Assignee: prefer items already assigned to the user, then unassigned items.
2. User constraints from arguments adjust the reasoning:
   • "2 hours" / "something small" → prefer XS/S sized items
   • "switch context" → prefer items in DIFFERENT components than recent work
   • "<component name>" → filter to that component
   • No constraint → balance proximity with priority

1. Format per conventions in

   ../ghpm-shared/references/format.md

   . Present suggestions in tiers — a top recommendation, strong alternatives, and optionally a "change of pace" option. The exact count is flexible (3-5 is typical), but every suggestion should earn its place.

Based on your context:
  Repo: <current repo>
  Recent work: <summary of recent commits>
  <component/team> affinity: <inferred from context>

• Issue: <repo>#<num>
• URL: <github url>
• Status: <status>
• Why now: <specific reasoning — deadlines, momentum, blocking, team needs>
• <constraint> fit: <how this fits the user's time/energy/focus constraint>

• (optional tier for lower-priority or different-domain options)

Include a summary table at the end for quick scanning:

- Include issue URL for easy navigation.
- If user constraint was provided, note how it influenced the suggestions.
- If no good candidates found, say so and suggest running `/ghpm-view triage` to find unassigned work.
