Omh Operating Rhythm

Operating Rhythm

This is a Hermes-native operating-rhythm workflow skill.

Why This Exists

operating-rhythm exists so recurring operating work has durable minutes, decisions, and follow-up history without pretending a meeting outcome was observed.

Do Not Use When

• The user only needs a one-off meeting agenda before the meeting; use meeting-brief.
• The request is a weekly status/risk summary rather than cadence history; use ops-review.
• The user asks for report packaging, PPT outline, or reliability evidence review.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: operating-rhythm 회의록 히스토리 관리하고 스크럼 스프린트 회고를 정리해줘.
• Expected behavior: Create a prepared operating record with cadence, decisions, action items, and not-evidence markers for missing observed notes.
• Why: The request is about recurring operating history, not a generic agenda or code handoff.

Bad example:

• Prompt: operating-rhythm implement the action items from the retro.
• Expected behavior: Route implementation to a plan or selected executor/runtime handoff after action items are accepted.
• Why: Operating records can capture follow-ups, but implementation is a separate observed work stream.

Completion Checklist

• Confirm the workflow target, evidence boundary, and stop condition are named.
• Report which outputs are prepared, observed, blocked, or missing.
• Name the smallest next verification or handoff instead of claiming completion from narration.

Recovery Notes

• If required context is missing, ask one blocking question or route back to the narrower workflow.
• If runtime or wrapper evidence is unavailable, keep the status as not_observed and expose the next observable action.

Workflow Lane

• Current lane: Research and company ops (product-docs, source-finder, web-research, research, best-practice-research, autoresearch-goal, model-optimization, inference-serving, +20 more) - research, signals, ops, and briefings.
• If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.

Use When

Use when Hermes should prepare or maintain recurring operating records such as meetings, scrums, sprint plans, retrospectives, decisions, and follow-ups.

Strong routing signals: `operating-rhythm`, `operating rhythm`, `meeting minutes`, `meeting history`, `scrum record`, `sprint planning`, `sprint review`, `sprint retrospective`, `retro history`, `decision log`, `action item history`, `회의록 관리`, `회의 히스토리`, `운영 리듬`, `스크럼`, `스프린트 회고`, `결정 기록`, `액션 아이템`

Catalog Metadata

Category: operations Phase: rhythm-history Hermes role: operator Quality tier: operations-gated Reasoning demand: light

Quality bar:

• Name cadence, audience, time window, known notes, and missing evidence before producing a record.
• Separate agenda/templates from observed minutes, decisions, and action items.
• Record follow-up ownership only when supplied or explicitly mark it unknown.

Handoff policy:

Keep cadence records, minutes scaffolds, decisions, and follow-up history in Hermes; delegate implementation only from separately accepted action items.

Required inputs:

• cadence or meeting type
• audience or participants
• time window
• source notes or explicit missing-notes boundary

Expected outputs:

• operation artifact
• decision log
• action item history
• observed/prepared boundary

Artifact expectations:

• operation_artifact/v1 under .omh/operations when a wrapper or CLI records it

Safety rules:

• Do not treat a prepared record as proof that the meeting or scrum happened.
• Do not mark decisions or action items accepted without supplied notes or owner acknowledgement.
• Keep implementation follow-ups separate from operating history.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: operating-rhythm.

omh runtime record --skill operating-rhythm --harness operating-rhythm --status started

Record observed delegation results; otherwise return not_available or not_observed. Prepared OMH routing is not execution, review, CI, merge-readiness, or merge evidence.

• Treat wrapper memory/context summaries as advisory local context, not proof of opaque Hermes memory reads or changes. Preserve workflow intent and stop conditions; verify before claiming completion.

Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
