What it does
Omh Decision Prototype is an agent skill from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. [omh] Uncertain technical choice for a spike: bounded decision prototype workflow: resolve one uncertain interaction, API, performance, or integration choice with a disposable, isolated experiment whose observed result feeds planning. Use when the user says: decision-prototype, decision prototype, prototype this uncertain choice before planning, prototype before planning, prototype the uncertain choice, run a small spike, small spike, spike solution.
Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/full-contract.md` and `references/procedure.md`).
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: decision-prototype
- Decision prototype
- Prototype this uncertain choice before planning
- Prototype before planning
Example prompts
- “/omh-decision-prototype”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f772a94. 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.
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 Decision Prototype loads about 654 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- [omh] Uncertain technical choice for a spike: bounded decision prototype workflow: resolve one uncertain interaction, API, performance, or integration choice with a disposable, isolated experiment whose observed result feeds planning. Use when the user says: decision-prototype, decision prototype, prototype this uncertain choice before planning, prototype before planning, prototype the uncertain choice, run a small spike, small spike, spike solution.
Decision Prototype
Required: one decision, a bounded experiment, an isolated scratch boundary, and a measurement method. Output: a decision record, prepared handoff, observation ledger, and receipt.
HOLD: Missing inputs or failed contract gates. Prepared OMH routing is not execution or approval. Completion: Follow the full-contract checklist.
Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md.
Agent/operator: omh runtime workflow-artifact decision-prototype prepare --input <json-file-or-> prepares bounded metadata only. Shared operator reference: omh-routing/references/workflow-artifacts.md.
Contract: references/full-contract.md. Procedure: references/procedure.md.
Completion Checklist
- Preserve workflow intent and stop conditions; load the full contract 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.
- Record observed delegation results; otherwise return
not_availableornot_observed. - Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
Recovery Notes
- If a required input, authority, or runtime capability is unavailable, HOLD and name the smallest safe next action; do not invent observation or approval.
