# spec-kitty-runtime-next This skill teaches agents how to advance a Spec Kitty mission through the canonical runtime control loop, including doctrine-aware context loading at each step boundary. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the user wants to: - Advance a mission to its next step - Understand what the runtime will do next - Unblock a stalled mission - Interpret runtime outcomes (step, blocked, decision_required, terminal) --- ## How the Runtime-Next System Works The `spec-kitty next` command is the single entry point for agent-driven mission execution. Each call returns a deterministic decision about what action the agent should take next. ### Decision Algorithm The runtime evaluates state in this order: 1. **Mission state machine** — Current phase and available transitions (from `mission-runtime.yaml` DAG) 2. **WP iteration check** — For `implement` and `review` steps, the CLI bridge manages WP-level iteration WITHOUT advancing the runtime. The runtime only advances when ALL WPs reach terminal/handoff lanes. 3. **Guard conditions** — Required artifacts, prerequisites, dependency graph 4. **Priority ordering** — Reviews before implementations, higher-priority WPs first, dependency-free WPs before dependent ones ### WP Iteration Logic (Critical) The CLI bridge (not the runtime) manages WP-level iteration: - If current step is `implement` or `review` - AND there are WPs in `planned` or `in_progress` lanes - THEN return a WP-level decisi...
