# Media Input Operator

This is a Hermes-native `media-input-operator` workflow skill.

## Why This Exists

`media-input-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: media-input-operator transcribe this audio meeting and summarize action items with evidence and timestamp boundaries.
- Expected behavior: Produce `prepare_media_input_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: media-input-operator invent a YouTube transcript and claim the timestamps are verified without media evidence.
- 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

- Media type, source location, permission boundary, transcript availability, language, requested output, timestamp requirement, and stop condition are explicit.
- Downloads, uploads, ASR, transcript extraction, speaker labels, copyrighted media access, and provider setup are gated or marked missing.
- Transcript text, OCR output, screenshot text, receipt fields, timestamps, quotes, action items, and media-summary claims are reported only from observed media or supplied transcript/extraction evidence.

## Recovery Notes

- If the media or transcript is missing, ask for the smallest source, file, transcript, or provider result needed.
- If the request is broad current-source research about a video topic, route to research or source-finder before summary.
- If the user wants a PPT/PDF/report generated from the media summary, route to materials-package after media input evidence is clear.

## Workflow Lane

- Current lane: **Materials and visual summaries** (`design-orchestration`, `design-quality-gate`, `frontend`, `accessibility-audit`, `visual-qa`, `content-operator`, `media-input-operator`, `materials-package`, `+4 more`) - web, accessibility, visual QA, files, and packages.
- 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 prepare or supervise audio/video transcript, YouTube/video summary, OCR, screenshot text extraction, receipt image parsing, or timestamped media extraction work without claiming media access, download, transcription, OCR output, or factual summary evidence.

    Strong routing signals: `media-input-operator`, `media input operator`, `media input`, `audio transcription`, `audio transcript`, `transcribe audio`, `transcribe this audio`, `meeting recording`, `recording transcript`, `video transcript`, `youtube summary`, `youtube video`, `summarize youtube`, `summarize this youtube`, `video summary`, `summarize this video`, `ocr image`, `image ocr`, `photo ocr`, `picture ocr`, `graphic ocr`, `screenshot ocr`, `ocr this image`, `ocr receipt image`, `ocr this receipt image`, `receipt ocr`, `receipt image ocr`, `receipt text`, `receipt text from image`, `receipt fields`, `receipt fields from image`, `receipt image extraction`, `receipt image text`, `receipt image fields`, `parse receipt image`, `receipt image parse`, `receipt image into fields`, `image text extraction`, `extract text from image`, `extract text from this image`, `screenshot text extraction`, `extract text from screenshot`, `extract text from this screenshot`, `screenshot to text`, `timestamps`, `with timestamps`, `clip summary`, `podcast summary`, `webinar summary`, `오디오 전사`, `음성 전사`, `회의 녹음`, `녹음 요약`, `영상 요약`, `유튜브 요약`, `youtube 요약`, `이미지 ocr`, `이미지 OCR`, `이미지 텍스트 추출`, `이미지에서 텍스트 추출`, `영수증 ocr`, `영수증 OCR`, `영수증 이미지 ocr`, `영수증 이미지 OCR`, `스크린샷 텍스트 추출`, `스크린샷에서 텍스트 추출`, `타임스탬프`, `타임라인 요약`

## 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.

## Runtime Evidence

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

```sh
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.

Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
