| description | [omh] Hermes Idea-to-Deploy workflow: shape an app idea into decisions, delivery handoff, verification, release, and monitoring status. Use when the user says: idea-to-deploy, idea to deploy, from idea to deploy, plan to deploy, idea to launch, ship this idea, ship this feature, launch this feature. |
Idea To Deploy
This is a Hermes-native idea-to-deploy workflow skill.
Why This Exists
idea-to-deploy exists to keep delivery work explicit, evidence-backed, and inside the Hermes/executor boundary instead of relying on ad hoc chat narration.
Do Not Use When
- The task is already a concrete repo change whose stopping point is one PR-ready cycle, not product or release operations; use
ultrawork.
- The request is a settings-only change, one bounded edit that is explicitly low-risk and has a direct owner and verification path, or a direct answer/diagnosis; handle it directly instead of opening a product delivery loop.
Examples
Good example:
- Prompt: idea-to-deploy: turn this onboarding idea into a scoped plan, implementation handoff, QA gate, and release path.
- Expected behavior: Prepare the idea-to-release lane while keeping implementation, QA, and deploy evidence observed-only.
- Why: The request spans product shaping through deploy readiness instead of a single task.
Bad example:
- Prompt: idea-to-deploy: 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
idea-to-deploy.
- Why: The request lacks the required inputs or would overclaim work that Hermes did not observe.
Completion Checklist
- Confirm the workflow target, evidence boundary, and stop condition are named.
- Report which outputs are prepared, observed, blocked, or missing.
- Name the smallest next verification or handoff instead of claiming completion from narration.
Recovery Notes
- If required context is missing, ask one blocking question or route back to the narrower workflow.
- If runtime or wrapper evidence is unavailable, keep the status as not_observed and expose the next observable action.
Workflow Lane
- Current lane: Coding handoff (
idea-to-deploy, cto-loop, deploy-and-monitor, code-review, build-failure-triage, verification-gate, security-safety-review, ultrawork, +6 more) - coding owners, handoffs, review, CI, and merge evidence.
- 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 carry a product or app idea through shaping, decision gates, plan acceptance, executor handoff, verification, release readiness, deploy, and monitoring boundaries.
Strong routing signals: `idea-to-deploy`, `idea to deploy`, `from idea to deploy`, `plan to deploy`, `idea to launch`, `ship this idea`, `ship this feature`, `launch this feature`, `product delivery loop`, `app delivery loop`, `complete product loop`, `end-to-end app operation`, `완제품 루프`, `아이디어부터 배포`, `기획부터 배포`, `출시까지`, `앱 운영 루프`, `서비스로 만들어서 배포`, `아이디어를 서비스로`, `배포까지 가보자`, `ship this idea to production`
Catalog Metadata
Category: delivery
Phase: app-delivery-loop
Hermes role: operator
Quality tier: delivery-gated
Reasoning demand: heavy
Quality bar:
- Name the idea, user value, decision owner, non-goals, and success metric before planning delivery.
- Expose idea, decision, plan, handoff, verification, release, deploy, and monitor stages as separate status steps.
- Prepare coding handoffs only after plan acceptance and selected executor/runtime choice.
- Mark deploy, monitoring, and rollback as unobserved until the wrapper or operator records evidence.
Handoff policy:
Keep idea shaping, decision gates, planning, release narration, and status in Hermes; prepare selected executor/runtime handoffs only for accepted code work and record deploy/monitoring only from observed operator or wrapper evidence.
Required inputs:
- product idea
- target user or customer signal
- success metric
- repo or app context
Expected outputs:
- stage rail
- decision gates
- executor handoff criteria
- verification and deploy/monitor status boundaries
Artifact expectations:
- app delivery loop status record when the wrapper captures stage acceptance or observations
Safety rules:
- Do not claim implementation, deploy, health checks, rollback, or monitoring happened from a prepared loop.
- Keep coding, release, and monitoring observations as separate evidence gates.
- Ask for missing success metric, release scope, or executor choice before preparing a handoff.
Runtime Evidence
Preferred harness for this skill: app-delivery-loop.
omh runtime record --skill idea-to-deploy --harness app-delivery-loop --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.
- When wrapper metadata includes
memory_review_card/v1 or handoff_context_pack/v1, treat it as reviewed OMH-local or wrapper-supplied context only. Use conflict-free context summaries to shape plans and handoffs, but do not claim Hermes internal memory was read or changed.
Preserve workflow intent and stop conditions; verify before claiming completion.
Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
