Operator Communication

Operator Communication

Use this skill when jarvOS needs to explain an operational condition to the operator. It controls message semantics, not delivery: the owning runtime may present an approved message through its configured local surface, but this public skill neither selects nor configures that surface.

Contract

The workflow is complete only when the operator can tell:

• what happened
• what jarvOS did to preserve safety
• whether an action is required and, if so, the reviewed choice
• what jarvOS will do next

Use the versioned jarvos-operator-notification/v1 event contract and its deterministic renderer. For routine safe repairs or resolutions, return NO_REPLY. For safety holds and stale observations, preserve a durable status without escalating a routine event into an interruption. For an action-required event, include only its opaque reference for follow-up.

Boundaries

• Do not render source paths, command output, stack traces, commit IDs, credentials, private receipt content, raw diagnostic codes, or caller-supplied prose.
• Do not claim that a release is current, approval-ready, or publishable from stale or unknown evidence.
• Do not send Telegram, email, calendar, chat, push, or any other external notification from this skill. Delivery belongs to an explicitly configured, owner-authorized runtime adapter.
• Do not turn a safe hold, repair, or resolution into a request for operator action unless the semantic event explicitly requires a reviewed action.

Decision guide

1. Validate a typed semantic event before rendering.
2. For direct-notification, present the rendered plain-English output once, using local deduplication keyed by the contract's dedupe identity.
3. For durable-status, record the renderer's status text in the owner-owned status surface and return NO_REPLY to the immediate channel.
4. For quiet, return NO_REPLY and retain any detailed evidence only in its owner-authorized private system.

Completion evidence

• the event validates against jarvos-operator-notification/v1
• the output is deterministic and contains no unreviewed diagnostic detail
• any delivery claim is supported by the selected runtime's local configuration
• the adapter still declares delivery as unconfigured when no such proof exists
