What it does

Omh Instinct Ledger is an agent skill from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. [omh] Recurring lessons worth promoting: turn repeated project or cross-project lessons into atomic, confidence-scored instinct candidates with scoped promotion and export boundaries. Use when the user says: instinct-ledger, instinct ledger, project instincts, project-scoped instincts, project scoped instincts, global instincts, instinct review, instinct candidate.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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: instinct-ledger
  • Instinct ledger
  • Project instincts
  • Project-scoped instincts

Example prompts

  • “/omh-instinct-ledger”

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 Instinct Ledger loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 815 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Instinct Ledger

This is a Hermes-native instinct-ledger workflow skill.

Why This Exists

instinct-ledger exists so Hermes users can ask for this workflow in chat and get a structured, checkable answer instead of an improvised one.

Do Not Use When

  • The request is already handled by a narrower explicit skill with stronger evidence.
  • The user asks OMH to secretly run external platforms, connectors, schedulers, file exports, or runtime agents.
  • The only safe answer is to ask for missing authority, credentials, target, or observed evidence first.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: instinct-ledger turn these repeated OMH review lessons into project-scoped instincts and show which ones could be promoted globally.
  • Expected behavior: Produce prepare_instinct_ledger with required context, wrapper actions, and not-evidence boundaries.
  • Why: The prompt names a real workflow surface that Hermes can orchestrate without hiding execution.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: instinct-ledger silently install hooks, learn from every prompt, and mutate all skills globally.
  • Expected behavior: Report the missing observed evidence or authority instead of claiming the external step happened.
  • Why: Prepared OMH guidance is not platform, runtime, connector, file, memory, or delivery evidence.

Completion Checklist

  • Each instinct is atomic: one trigger, one action, one scope, confidence, evidence refs, and review state.
  • Project-specific conventions, global practices, project/global promotion candidates, imports, and exports are separated.
  • No hooks, memory writes, skill edits, global promotion, import/export, or behavior-change claims are made without observed approval and implementation evidence.

Recovery Notes

  • If the request is a single missed route or run trace, route to workflow-learning first.
  • If the request is to mutate durable rules, prompts, skills, or AGENTS guidance, route to rules-distill or implementation after review approval.
  • If evidence comes from a stuck run, use agent-debug before converting lessons into instincts.

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 when Hermes should review repeated observations, user corrections, workflow lessons, or failure patterns as atomic project-scoped or global instinct candidates with confidence, evidence, promotion, import, or export decisions.

Strong routing signals: `instinct-ledger`, `instinct ledger`, `project instincts`, `project-scoped instincts`, `project scoped instincts`, `global instincts`, `instinct review`, `instinct candidate`, `instinct candidates`, `instinct promotion`, `promote instinct`, `promote learning`, `confidence scored learning`, `confidence-scored learning`, `project learning patterns`, `cross-project learning`, `export instincts`, `import instincts`, `학습 본능`, `프로젝트별 학습`, `프로젝트 스코프 학습`, `전역 학습 승격`, `학습 승격`, `학습 패턴 승격`

Catalog Metadata

Category: optimization Phase: instinct-ledger Hermes role: tracker Quality tier: workflow-surface-gated Reasoning demand: heavy

Quality bar:

  • Name the user-facing workflow objective, required context, next action, and stop condition.
  • Separate prepared guidance from observed platform, runtime, connector, file, memory, or delivery evidence.
  • Expose missing tools, credentials, targets, or observations as user-visible gaps.

Handoff policy:

Keep this as Hermes-facing orchestration guidance first. Prepare executor, connector, gateway, or host-runtime handoff only when the user accepts that next step and observed evidence can be recorded.

Required inputs:

  • user request
  • target context
  • delivery or status expectation
  • known missing evidence

Expected outputs:

  • instinct_ledger_plan/v1
  • instinct_candidate/v1
  • project_instinct_scope_map/v1
  • instinct_promotion_review/v1
  • instinct_export_review/v1 when requested

Artifact expectations:

  • instinct_candidate/v1 with trigger, action, confidence, domain, scope, source evidence, non-goals, and review state
  • project_instinct_scope_map/v1 separating project, global, imported, and promotion-candidate instincts
  • instinct_promotion_review/v1 with repeated evidence, confidence threshold, conflicts, and approval state
  • instinct_export_review/v1 with redaction, destination, import/export trust gaps, and raw-observation exclusion when requested

Safety rules:

  • An instinct ledger is not hook installation, automatic observation, model training, hidden memory mutation, skill mutation, prompt mutation, global rule promotion, import, export, or proof that future behavior changed. Record only reviewed candidate instincts, confidence, scope, promotion state, and evidence gaps.
  • Do not claim connector, gateway, runtime, file generation, memory mutation, or host automation evidence from prepared guidance.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: instinct-ledger.

sh
omh runtime record --skill instinct-ledger --harness instinct-ledger --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.
