What it does

Omh Ask is an agent skill from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. [omh] Outside AI critique wanted: consulting an external advisor when configured. Use when the user says: ask, external advisor, ask claude, ask gemini, consult claude, consult gemini, opinion from claude, opinion from gemini.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: All in one plugin for Hermes Agent ⚚ the coding intelligence, a long-term memory system and model optimized workflow packages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user says: ask
External advisor
Opinion from claude
Opinion from gemini

Example prompts

“/omh-ask”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 41de9dc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- claude
- gemini
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Omh Ask loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Ask

This is a Hermes-native ask workflow skill.

Why This Exists

ask exists to keep review work explicit, evidence-backed, and inside the Hermes/executor boundary instead of relying on ad hoc chat narration.

Do Not Use When

The request is casual chat, a status-only acknowledgement, or another workflow has stronger routing evidence.
The user needs implementation, review, CI, merge, or external publishing evidence that has not been delegated or observed.
The user wants typed yes/no, pick-one, or scored probabilities from Jev over supplied text; use jev-ask.

Examples

Good example:

Prompt: ask: ask Claude as an external advisor to critique this plugin bridge plan before implementation.
Expected behavior: Prepare an advisor prompt, capture the response boundary, and summarize reusable critique.
Why: The user wants outside review before committing to a direction.

Bad example:

Prompt: ask: treat casual chat or unaccepted work as if this workflow already produced verified results.
Expected behavior: Ask a clarification question or route to a narrower workflow instead of forcing ask.
Why: The request lacks the required inputs or would overclaim work that Hermes did not observe.

Completion Checklist

Findings or no-issue results are grounded in concrete file, artifact, command, or source evidence.
Open questions, residual risk, and missing verification are named.
Fixes or follow-up work are separate handoffs unless the user explicitly asked to implement them.

Recovery Notes

If the reviewed target is missing, inspect the requested artifact or ask one target question.
If independent verification is unavailable, report the gap and avoid an approval-style claim.

Workflow Lane

Current lane: Automation and status (achievements, workspace-audit, production-audit, live-incident-response, automation-blueprint, github-event-ops, github-issue-intake, buzz, +39 more) - schedules, status, health, and ops review.
If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.
Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md.

Use When

Use only when an external advisor is configured and would materially improve the answer.

Strong routing signals: `ask`, `$ask`, `external advisor`, `ask claude`, `ask gemini`, `consult claude`, `consult gemini`, `opinion from claude`, `opinion from gemini`, `second opinion`, `claude 의견`, `gemini 의견`

Catalog Metadata

Category: review Phase: external-advice Hermes role: reviewer Quality tier: evidence-gated Reasoning demand: standard

Quality bar:

Name the workflow target, constraints, validation evidence, and stop condition.
Separate Hermes guidance from executor or wrapper behavior unless evidence proves the step happened.

Handoff policy:

Use as optional advice gathering; evaluate the advice in Hermes and delegate coding changes separately.

Required inputs:

question
context summary
why external advice helps

Expected outputs:

advisor summary
accepted/rejected advice
decision note

Artifact expectations:

advisor transcript reference only when explicitly captured

Safety rules:

Use only when configured and materially useful.
Treat advisor output as evidence to evaluate, not authority.
Do not send secrets or private prompts without explicit opt-in.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: critic.

omh runtime record --skill ask --harness critic --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.

When wrapper metadata includes memory_review_card/v1 or handoff_context_pack/v1, treat it as reviewed OMH-local or wrapper-supplied context only. Use conflict-free context summaries to shape plans and handoffs, but do not claim Hermes internal memory was read or changed. Preserve workflow intent and stop conditions; verify before claiming completion. Reply in the user's own words and the host's own voice: its SOUL.md persona owns reply language, tone, speech level, and sentence endings, progress updates included (where it sets no language, use the one the user wrote in), and OMH shapes structure and content only; OMH's record terms (surface, lane, wrapper, handoff, evidence boundary, not_observed) stay in records and tool calls, never in the sentence the user reads unless they ask about one; and when a stop condition or a decision the user owns ends the turn, offer the next action as a question rather than declaring what will not be done.

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

Shared product, compatibility, topology, memory, harness, and execution rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md. Load it when applicable; otherwise name an unavailable capability.
