Print NEXT — portable closeout paste (any AI tool)
Not Cursor-only. Use this in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or any assistant.
Host niceties improve odds of tab refresh; they do not guarantee an accurate open tab. CLI/Muse/shell rewrites and dirty buffers can still stale a tab.
Open the repository root (the folder that contains .overseer/) as the IDE workspace.
If you open a parent folder, project rules and skills under .cursor/ often do not load.
The CLI still works. The open editor tab is not the source of truth — run ok next.
Fast path
After updating the living handover and/or roadmap:
ok next
# synonym (print-only; does not run hygiene R1–R5 / patches):
ok governance-sync --print-next
Paste the printed block into chat under the heading it already includes:
## CURRENT NEXT — paste this
Between the heading and the fenced body, ok next prints one provenance line
(**Source:** …) naming the repo, absolute root, handover path, lane, and read
timestamp so adjacent blocks from different repos stay attributable (NXP).
Source of truth order
When the printed fence, the disk file, and an open tab disagree:
ok next/ the printed CURRENT NEXT fence (this session, after the write)- The handover file on disk at the config-driven path
- Never “whatever the open tab happens to show”
An old chat paste is not a source of truth. Merge to main is not required to refresh NEXT.
Runtime map
| Tool | Skill auto-load | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/print-next/ after ok sync |
CLI + this paste |
| Claude Code | .claude/skills/print-next/ after ok sync |
CLI + this paste |
| Copilot / others | — | CLI + this paste (skills not native) |
Paste-ready prompt (when skills are unavailable)
Print NEXT — closeout surfacing.
After any update to the living handover and/or roadmap, include in your FINAL reply
the paste-ready fence under heading ## CURRENT NEXT — paste this.
Bytes must come from disk after write:
ok next
# or: ok governance-sync --print-next
Do not paste from memory, an earlier chat, or an unsaved editor buffer.
Session incomplete without it. Do not claim the open IDE tab is accurate.
Not ok workspace check-next.
