Omh Media Input

Catalog Metadata

Category: media Phase: media-input-task Hermes role: guide Quality tier: workflow-surface-gated Reasoning demand: standard

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:

• media_input_task_card/v1
• media_source_scope/v1
• transcript_boundary/v1
• media_summary_plan/v1
• media_result_manifest/v1 when observed
• next action
• prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

• media_input_task_card/v1 metadata-only wrapper card when prepared
• media_source_scope/v1 with media type, source location, permission boundary, requested time range, and stop condition
• transcript_boundary/v1 separating supplied transcript, missing transcript, ASR/extraction requirement, language, speaker labels, and confidence gaps
• media_summary_plan/v1 naming action-item, timestamped, clip, chapter, quote, or evidence-linked summary method
• media_result_manifest/v1 only when supplied transcript, media file metadata, provider response, or observed transcript output exists

Safety rules:

• A media input card is not media access, file upload, download, transcript extraction, OCR output, screenshot text extraction, receipt fields, speech-to-text output, timestamp accuracy, copyright clearance, source retrieval, or summary correctness evidence unless observed media-result evidence records it.
• Do not claim connector, gateway, runtime, file generation, memory mutation, or host automation evidence from prepared guidance.
• A media_result_manifest/v1 describes a supplied recording or transcript. It is never a live duplex session, one-input-to-one-dispatch integrity, audible response behavior, or realtime voice readiness, and it cannot be promoted into one.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: media-input-operator.

omh runtime record --skill media-input-operator --harness media-input-operator --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.
