Deploy And Monitor

This is a Hermes-native deploy-and-monitor workflow skill.

Why This Exists

deploy-and-monitor exists to keep monitoring work explicit, evidence-backed, and inside the Hermes/executor boundary instead of relying on ad hoc chat narration.

Do Not Use When

• The request is casual chat, a status-only acknowledgement, or another workflow has stronger routing evidence.
• The user needs implementation, review, CI, merge, or external publishing evidence that has not been delegated or observed.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: deploy-and-monitor: prepare the release monitor, rollback signals, health checks, and post-deploy status card.
• Expected behavior: Create release monitoring guidance with deployment, metric, rollback, and observation boundaries.
• Why: The request is about deploy readiness and monitoring rather than code review alone.

Bad example:

• Prompt: deploy-and-monitor: 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 deploy-and-monitor.
• 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.

Use When

Use when Hermes should prepare or narrate a release operation with deploy checklist, health signals, rollback criteria, and post-deploy status without pretending to run infrastructure.

Strong routing signals: deploy-and-monitor, deploy and monitor, deploy monitor, deployment monitoring, release monitor, post deploy, post-deploy, rollback, rollback gate, health check, incident watch, release health, deploy this service, 배포 모니터링, 서비스 배포, 프로덕션 배포, 인프라에 배포, 배포 감시, 롤백, 헬스 체크, 장애 감시, 릴리즈 모니터링

Catalog Metadata

Category: monitoring Phase: release-ops Hermes role: operator Quality tier: release-gated Reasoning demand: light

Quality bar:

• Name release scope, target environment, health signals, rollback criteria, and evidence owner.
• Show pre-deploy, deploy decision, monitor, rollback, and post-deploy record as distinct stages.
• Mark health and rollback status unknown until observed evidence arrives.
• Convert fix follow-ups into separate accepted plans or executor handoffs.

Handoff policy:

Keep release checklist, health criteria, rollback gates, and status narration in Hermes; record deploy, monitor, incident, or rollback evidence only when the wrapper or operator observes it.

Required inputs:

• release scope
• environment
• health signals
• rollback owner

Expected outputs:

• pre-deploy checklist
• deploy decision gate
• monitoring watchlist
• rollback criteria
• post-deploy status boundary

Artifact expectations:

• release operation status record when the wrapper captures deploy or monitor observations

Safety rules:

• Do not claim deployment, health checks, rollback, or incident response happened from a prepared checklist.
• Keep release readiness, deploy decision, monitor signals, and rollback as separate evidence steps.
• Route code fixes discovered during monitoring as later executor handoffs.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: app-delivery-loop.

sh
omh runtime record --skill deploy-and-monitor --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.
