What it does
Omh Skill is an agent skill from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. [omh] Installing, removing, or editing skills: managing local skills. Use when the user says: skill, skills, manage skills.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill management. 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: skill
- Tasks that involve Skill management
Example prompts
- “/omh-skill”
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
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 Skill loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 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.

Skill
This is a Hermes-native skill workflow skill.
Why This Exists
skill exists to keep operator 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.
Examples
Good example:
- Prompt: $skill list installed OMH skills and show the catalog metadata for each workflow.
- Expected behavior: Manage or inspect the skill catalog without claiming runtime execution or external evidence.
- Why: The request is operator skill management, not a user workflow run.
Bad example:
- Prompt: skill: treat casual chat or unaccepted work as if this workflow already produced verified results.
- Expected behavior: Ask a clarification question or route to a narrower workflow instead of forcing
skill. - Why: The request lacks the required inputs or would overclaim work that Hermes did not observe.
Completion Checklist
- The local command, managed path, config surface, and state artifact inspected are named.
- Blocking issues, warnings, and optional surfaces are separated.
- The next repair action is explicit and does not claim a reload or runtime observation.
Recovery Notes
- If a managed path or config key is missing, route to setup/update repair instead of editing hidden state.
- If a reload or plugin load was not observed, keep the diagnostic result as local health evidence only.
Workflow Lane
- Current lane: Automation and status (
achievements,workspace-audit,production-audit,live-incident-response,automation-blueprint,github-event-ops,github-issue-intake,buzz,+39 more) - schedules, status, health, and ops review. - If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to
oh-my-hermesor name the adjacent workflow. - Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules:
omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md.
Use When
Use for local skill listing, search, add, remove, or edit tasks.
Strong routing signals: `skill`, `$skill`, `skills`, `manage skills`Catalog Metadata
Category: operator
Phase: skill-management
Hermes role: tracker
Quality tier: evidence-gated
Reasoning demand: light
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 Hermes for inventory and guidance; delegate only repository code changes to the selected coding executor.
Required inputs:
- skill action
- target skill name or directory
Expected outputs:
- skill inventory or mutation result
- verification note
Artifact expectations:
- manifest update when managed skills change
Safety rules:
- Do not imply hidden Hermes runtime behavior.
- Use the smallest verification that can prove the claim.

Runtime Evidence
Preferred harness for this skill: docs-specialist.
omh runtime record --skill skill --harness docs-specialist --status startedRecord 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.
