• Figure out which abilities to use as a Huntsman.
• Figure out their respective priorities.
• Figure out their respective conditions.

Currently the predicate functions from the spec priority queues are called like this:

for index, ability in ipairs(spec) do
    local name = ability[1]
    local valid = ability[2]
    if valid() then
        return name
    end
end

It would be easy to inject the API:

for index, ability in ipairs(spec) do
    local name = ability[1]
    local valid = ability[2]
    if valid(API) then  -- Notice the argument.
        return name
    end
end

Currently you have to specifically refer to Protipper.API to hook into the API.

The addon needs to figure out if the player is using a known spec and if so load its priority list.

• Determine the key abilities for a known spec and check whether the player currently has these abilities.
• On role switch (or when gaining or losing abilities) find and load a matching spec.
• Have an empty fallback spec for unknown specs.

Make a sketch for the upcoming UI. It seems prudent to consider including the following information somewhere in the UI:

• The icon of the next ability to use.
• The name of the next ability to use.
• The keybinding of the next ability to use.
• Optional health and mana bars.

The layout should be based on #5 and should deliver the following functionality:

• Draggable on the icon area.
• Simple, solid borders.
• White-on-black ability names present below icon.

The AddOn should be able to:

• Provide graceful fall backs for misspelled abilities, empty priority lists, etc.
• Not present the end user with a raw Lua error in any of the above circumstances.

The AddOn should be able to:

• Update its ability suggestion whenever the following change for you, your target, or your pet:
  • Vitality/resources (health, mana, charge, etc.)
  • Buffs/debuffs
  • Stats (dexterity, strength, etc.)

The AddOn should be able to:

• Figure out the next ability to use based on a (for now fixed as "Huntsman") priority list.
