Feedback Triage

This is a Hermes-native feedback-triage workflow skill.

Why This Exists

feedback-triage exists to keep customer and community signals from jumping straight into roadmap or coding; it clusters evidence, ranks signals, and chooses the next workflow.

Do Not Use When

• The request already contains an accepted product decision and asks for implementation.
• There are no feedback items, source boundary, or product area to classify.
• The user wants current market research rather than triage of supplied signals.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: Cluster these customer payment failure reports and feature requests before we plan fixes.
• Expected behavior: Cluster bug signals and feature asks, rank severity or opportunity, and recommend research, planning, or coding as a next workflow.
• Why: The input is mixed feedback that needs classification before delivery decisions.

Bad example:

• Prompt: feedback-triage implement the accepted billing fix now.
• Expected behavior: Route to planning or coding handoff instead of re-triaging.
• Why: The decision is already accepted, so triage would add delay without improving evidence.

Completion Checklist

• The source boundary, signal clusters, severity, and follow-up lane are named.
• Bug, feature, research, strategy, and coding handoff outcomes stay separate.
• The next workflow is recommended before any implementation claim.

Recovery Notes

• If feedback lacks source or severity, ask for the missing signal before coding handoff.
• If the item is actually a plan or research request, route to that workflow instead of triage.

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

Use When

Use when Hermes should classify feedback, bug reports, and feature asks before deciding whether research, planning, or coding handoff is needed.

Catalog Metadata

Category: triage Phase: feedback Hermes role: operator Quality tier: triage-gated Reasoning demand: standard

Quality bar:

• Name the source boundary before clustering feedback.
• Classify signals into bug, feature, research, or strategy follow-up without overclaiming evidence.
• Recommend the next workflow instead of jumping straight to coding.

Handoff policy:

Keep feedback triage in Hermes; recommend the next workflow and prepare a selected executor/runtime handoff only after explicit coding intent or accepted plan evidence.

Required inputs:

• feedback items or summary
• source boundary
• product area

Expected outputs:

• clusters
• severity or opportunity ranking
• next workflow recommendation
• product_evidence_loop/v1

Artifact expectations:

• feedback triage record when a wrapper captures it

Safety rules:

• Do not turn feedback into a roadmap, implementation plan, or coding handoff by default.
• Separate bug signal, feature ask, severity, opportunity, and missing evidence.
• Route code changes only after explicit user intent or accepted planning evidence.
• product_evidence_loop/v1 is prepared-only opaque references, not observed evidence or execution.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: customer-insight-triage.

sh
omh runtime record --skill feedback-triage --harness customer-insight-triage --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.
