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.

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 2 — 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 3 — 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 4 — 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 5 — 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.

TOP PRIORITY: [fires|comms|PR|sprint|gsd]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Full priority stack:
1. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
2. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
3. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]
4. [action] — [why] → [/skill or command]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
a) Do #1 now
b) Do #2 now
c) Show me everything (/ops-go)
d) I'll decide — just show the briefing
→ Pick or describe what you want
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
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.
