| description | [omh] Hermes Operating Rhythm workflow: meeting minutes, scrum/sprint records, retros, decisions, and follow-up history. Use when the user says: operating-rhythm, operating rhythm, meeting minutes, meeting history, scrum record, sprint planning, sprint review, sprint retrospective. |
Operating Rhythm
This is a Hermes-native operating-rhythm workflow skill.
Why This Exists
operating-rhythm exists so recurring operating work has durable minutes, decisions, and follow-up history without pretending a meeting outcome was observed.
Do Not Use When
- The user only needs a one-off meeting agenda before the meeting; use
meeting-brief.
- The request is a weekly status/risk summary rather than cadence history; use
ops-review.
- The user asks for report packaging, PPT outline, or reliability evidence review.
Examples
Good example:
- Prompt: operating-rhythm 회의록 히스토리 관리하고 스크럼 스프린트 회고를 정리해줘.
- Expected behavior: Create a prepared operating record with cadence, decisions, action items, and not-evidence markers for missing observed notes.
- Why: The request is about recurring operating history, not a generic agenda or code handoff.
Bad example:
- Prompt: operating-rhythm implement the action items from the retro.
- Expected behavior: Route implementation to a plan or selected executor/runtime handoff after action items are accepted.
- Why: Operating records can capture follow-ups, but implementation is a separate observed work stream.
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: Research and company ops (
source-finder, research, best-practice-research, autoresearch-goal, research-brief, strategy-brief, feedback-triage, research-department, +13 more) - research, signals, ops, and briefings.
- 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 maintain recurring operating records such as meetings, scrums, sprint plans, retrospectives, decisions, and follow-ups.
Strong routing signals: `operating-rhythm`, `operating rhythm`, `meeting minutes`, `meeting history`, `scrum record`, `sprint planning`, `sprint review`, `sprint retrospective`, `retro history`, `decision log`, `action item history`, `회의록 관리`, `회의 히스토리`, `운영 리듬`, `스크럼`, `스프린트 회고`, `결정 기록`, `액션 아이템`
Catalog Metadata
Category: operations
Phase: rhythm-history
Hermes role: operator
Quality tier: operations-gated
Reasoning demand: light
Quality bar:
- Name cadence, audience, time window, known notes, and missing evidence before producing a record.
- Separate agenda/templates from observed minutes, decisions, and action items.
- Record follow-up ownership only when supplied or explicitly mark it unknown.
Handoff policy:
Keep cadence records, minutes scaffolds, decisions, and follow-up history in Hermes; delegate implementation only from separately accepted action items.
Required inputs:
- cadence or meeting type
- audience or participants
- time window
- source notes or explicit missing-notes boundary
Expected outputs:
- operation artifact
- decision log
- action item history
- observed/prepared boundary
Artifact expectations:
- operation_artifact/v1 under .omh/operations when a wrapper or CLI records it
Safety rules:
- Do not treat a prepared record as proof that the meeting or scrum happened.
- Do not mark decisions or action items accepted without supplied notes or owner acknowledgement.
- Keep implementation follow-ups separate from operating history.
Runtime Evidence
Preferred harness for this skill: operating-rhythm.
omh runtime record --skill operating-rhythm --harness operating-rhythm --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.
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.
