What it does

Omh Context Budget Review is an agent skill from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. [omh] Context window or token budget at risk: plan compact context, token/cost budgets, summarization checkpoints, and overflow recovery before long agent work. Use when the user says: context-budget-review, context budget review, context budget, token budget review, token budget, prompt budget, prompt caching, prompt cache.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cache-placement.md` and `references/route-capacity.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering and LLM cost and token optimization. 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: context-budget-review
  • Context budget review
  • Token budget review

Example prompts

  • “/omh-context-budget-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7cd0d02. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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 Context Budget Review loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 914 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.

Context Budget Review

This is a Hermes-native context-budget-review workflow skill.

Why This Exists

context-budget-review ports ECC's context-budget and token-budget instincts into OMH as a compactness gate that protects long-running work without redefining success around a smaller task.

Do Not Use When

  • The user asks for live token/cost telemetry; use ops-observability-card.
  • The user asks to continue a loopable goal; use loop unless budget planning is the explicit blocker.
  • The task is a short one-step answer with no meaningful context risk.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: context-budget-review 이 장기 PR 작업에서 어떤 맥락을 꼭 유지하고 언제 요약해야 하는지 잡아줘.
  • Expected behavior: Prepare context_budget_plan/v1, must_keep_context_pack/v1, checkpoint plan, risk register, and overflow recovery route.
  • Why: The request is about preserving context quality during long-running agent work.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: context-budget-review 토큰 아끼려고 원래 목표를 더 작은 목표로 바꿔줘.
  • Expected behavior: Reject goal shrinking and instead compact context while preserving the full objective and evidence gaps.
  • Why: Budget review optimizes context handling, not the user's requested end state.

Completion Checklist

  • The run or workflow scope, metric window, failure modes, and cost/latency boundary are named.
  • Local telemetry, provider truth, billing truth, and completion evidence are separate states.
  • Warnings name the next measurement or operator review action.

Recovery Notes

  • If provider metrics are unavailable, report only local metadata and mark provider truth not_observed.
  • If cost or latency looks risky, surface a warning plus the next measurement rather than a completion 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 before long-running research, coding, review, or multi-agent work when context, token, cost, or summary drift could break quality.

Strong routing signals: `context-budget-review`, `context budget review`, `context budget`, `token budget review`, `token budget`, `prompt budget`, `prompt caching`, `prompt cache`, `cache hygiene`, `context compaction`, `compact context`, `too much context`, `context window`, `running out of context`, `hand off to a new session`, `summarization checkpoint`, `budget this task`, `컨텍스트 예산`, `토큰 예산`, `컨텍스트 압축`, `요약 체크포인트`

Catalog Metadata

Category: observability Phase: context-budget-review Hermes role: tracker Quality tier: context-budget-gated Reasoning demand: standard

Quality bar:

  • Name must-keep context before summarizing or delegating long work.
  • Separate durable requirements, volatile status, file refs, verification evidence, and open blockers.
  • Define checkpoint cadence, overflow recovery, and continuity verification.
  • Use bounded copy while preserving the full objective and evidence gaps.
  • Count the must-keep pack by item class, so a replaced pack reports which class lost entries instead of only that a digest moved; a pack that recorded no classes reports the comparison unavailable and never reports zero items.
  • Keep prompt-prefix placement cache-stable: fixed section order, volatile bytes never above the fold, mid-run changes as appended messages never system-prompt mutations — load references/cache-placement.md for the placement rules.

Handoff policy:

Keep budget design and status narration in Hermes. Provider billing, exact token usage, runtime compaction, and executor cost evidence require observed wrapper, runtime, or provider data.

Route binding:

  • Bind the plan to the session's published context_budget_plan/v1 (agent/operator: omh context budget-plan prepare|rebind|status --session-ref <session>). Unpublished capacity holds as capacity_unknown_hold and inherits nothing; a hold or checkpoint action is a prepared obligation, not compaction, usage, or billing evidence. Rules: references/route-capacity.md.

Required inputs:

  • task or workflow scope
  • expected duration, artifacts, and handoff surfaces
  • available context sources and must-keep facts
  • token, cost, latency, or message-size constraints when known
Show full SKILL.md (342 more words)Show less

Expected outputs:

  • context_budget_plan/v1
  • must_keep_context_pack/v1
  • must_keep_item_class_delta/v1 when a pack replaces an earlier one
  • summarization_checkpoint_plan/v1
  • budget_risk_register/v1
  • overflow_recovery_route/v1
  • not-evidence boundary

Artifact expectations:

  • context_budget_plan/v1 with scope, max visible context, source priority, discard rules, and checkpoint cadence
  • must_keep_context_pack/v1 with durable facts, file refs, decisions, PR/CI state, and blocked assumptions
  • must_keep_item_class_delta/v1 naming the item class that lost entries rather than reporting a digest difference, over the closed vocabulary prohibitions, decisions, open_questions, requirements, paths, pr_state, verification_gaps
  • summarization_checkpoint_plan/v1 with when to compact, what to preserve, and how to verify continuity
  • budget_risk_register/v1 separating estimated cost/token/latency risk from provider-observed truth

Safety rules:

  • Do not claim provider billing, exact token counts, or runtime compaction occurred without observed evidence.
  • Do not drop user requirements, file paths, PR state, verification gaps, or explicit constraints during compaction.
  • Keep estimated budget risk, observed usage, checkpoint summaries, and completion evidence separate.
  • Do not use budget pressure as a reason to shrink the user's requested end state.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: context-budget-review.

sh
omh runtime record --skill context-budget-review --harness context-budget-review --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. 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.
