Capability Toggle

This is a Hermes-native capability-toggle workflow skill.

Why This Exists

capability-toggle exists because OMH shipped one binary install lever -- 9 core skills or all of them -- so a user who wanted the coding surface but not the memory surface had to take both. It turns that into a per-family choice without uninstalling OMH.

Do Not Use When

• The user wants to run the workflow a family owns rather than change whether that family is offered.
• The user is asking to build an on/off switch inside their own product.
• The user wants OMH removed entirely, which is the uninstall path rather than a capability policy change.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: turn off memory, I already run my own memory system
• Expected behavior: Disable the retain_knowledge family, report the four memory workflows removed and the five core skills retained, and name the enable command.
• Why: The request is about which OMH surfaces are offered locally, not about capturing a memory.

Bad example:

• Prompt: add a dark mode toggle to my settings page
• Expected behavior: Route to frontend or coding delegation instead of capability policy.
• Why: That is a feature in the user's own product, not an OMH capability family.

Completion Checklist

• The affected family is named by its canonical id, not guessed from a partial word.
• Removed workflows and retained core skills are listed separately.
• The reversing command is stated so the change never reads as permanent.
• Locally modified skill files are reported as retained exceptions rather than deleted.

Recovery Notes

• If the family id is ambiguous, list all six and ask rather than picking the closest match.
• If a disable would remove a core skill, refuse that part and report it; core skills are the floor doctor checks for.
• If files were kept with --keep-files, say the policy changed but the files remain so the state is not misread as a full removal.

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.
• Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md.

Use When

Use when the user wants to turn an OMH capability family on or off -- memory, coding delegation, research, planning, materials, or operations -- rather than uninstall OMH or run the workflow that family owns.

Catalog Metadata

Category: operator Phase: configuration 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:

Read and write the local capability policy directly; propose executor work only when a repository fix is required.

Required inputs:

• capability family
• requested state

Expected outputs:

• policy change summary
• what was removed versus retained
• the exact command that reverses it

Artifact expectations:

• capability policy recorded in the local setup profile

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: coding-handling.

sh
omh runtime record --skill capability-toggle --harness coding-handling --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.
