Command Operator
This is a Hermes-native command-operator workflow skill.
Why This Exists
command-operator exists so Hermes users can ask for this workflow in chat and receive a structured, evidence-bounded OMH operating surface instead of ad hoc narration.
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: command-operator run npm test in the project terminal and summarize the output.
- Expected behavior: Produce
prepare_command_operator_card 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: command-operator run rm -rf without cwd, confirmation, or observation gates.
- 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
- Command text, working directory, environment assumptions, timeout, safety level, and stop condition are explicit.
- Destructive, credential, network, filesystem mutation, install, deploy, and production commands are gated or marked missing.
- Exit codes, stdout/stderr, test results, package-manager effects, and filesystem mutations are reported only from observed command evidence.
Recovery Notes
- If command text or working directory is missing, ask for the smallest missing scope needed before preparing the command task.
- If the command is destructive, credentialed, networked, install/deploy-oriented, or production-affecting, require an explicit confirmation gate.
- If the user supplied failed command output and asks for root cause, route to build-failure-triage or agent-debug instead of preparing a fresh command.
Workflow Lane
- Current lane: Automation and status (
achievements, workspace-audit, production-audit, automation-blueprint, github-event-ops, buzz, agent-board, gateway-intent-card, +34 more) - schedules, status, health, and ops review.
- If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to
oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.

Use When
Use when Hermes should prepare or supervise terminal/CLI command execution without claiming the command ran or succeeded.
Strong routing signals: `command-operator`, `command operator`, `terminal command`, `terminal task`, `shell command`, `shell task`, `cli command`, `command execution`, `run command`, `run this command`, `execute command`, `execute this command`, `run npm test`, `run tests`, `npm test`, `pnpm test`, `bun test`, `uv run`, `python -m unittest`, `pytest`, `make test`, `cargo test`, `go test`, `summarize command output`, `ํฐ๋ฏธ๋ ๋ช

Catalog Metadata
Category: command
Phase: command-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:
- command_task_card/v1
- command_scope/v1
- command_safety_gate/v1
- command_result_manifest/v1 when observed
- next action
- prepared-vs-observed boundary
Artifact expectations:
- command_task_card/v1 metadata-only wrapper card when prepared
- command_scope/v1 with command text, working directory, environment assumptions, timeout, and stop condition
- command_safety_gate/v1 separating read-only, write/mutation, network, credential, and destructive-risk commands
- command_result_manifest/v1 only when exit code, stdout/stderr, logs, or terminal transcript are observed
Safety rules:
- A command operator card is not terminal launch, shell execution, package-manager action, test run, stdout/stderr capture, exit-code success, filesystem mutation, network access, or destructive command evidence unless observed command-result evidence records it.
- Do not claim connector, gateway, runtime, file generation, memory mutation, or host automation evidence from prepared guidance.
Runtime Evidence
Preferred harness for this skill: command-operator.
omh runtime record --skill command-operator --harness command-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.
Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
