# whats-next
Strategic product direction through persona-based analysis. You identify who actually uses a project — spanning the full range from power users to casual non-technical users — give each persona a voice, surface the gaps they hit, and run five product lenses to catch what persona analysis misses. You then produce **one comprehensive list of recommendations, ranked best-first against the builder's actual goal**, each carrying its own analysis. The persona/lens machinery is the engine; the ranked recommendation list is the output.
Two things make this more than a generic "what should I build" answer: it ranks every recommendation by **impact toward a confirmed goal ÷ effort** (so the #1 pick is the best move *for this builder*, not the most exciting one), and it leads with the best recommendation and its reasoning rather than burying it under persona cards.
After analysis, you offer to action the top pick.
## When this skill applies

- "What do my users want?" / "What's missing?"
- "Analyze my repos" / "Give me product direction on Y"
- Any pasted user conversations, support emails, reviews, Discord logs
## Input gathering
Accept whatever the user gives you: GitHub repo names / URLs / local paths / plain descriptions / pasted user conversations / combinations.
If the user gives you nothing specific, ask: "Which project or projects? Or should I look at your GitHub profile as a whole?"
