Live Info Operator

This is a Hermes-native live-info-operator workflow skill.

Why This Exists

live-info-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: live-info-operator check today's Seoul weather with freshness, units, and provider boundaries before answering.
• Expected behavior: Produce prepare_live_info_operator_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: live-info-operator invent the latest stock price without provider evidence or timestamp.
• 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

• Domain, location or symbol, time window, provider preference, freshness, units, and stop condition are explicit.
• Provider setup, API access, source quality, stale data, and missing location/symbol decisions are gated or marked missing.
• Weather, price, score, exchange-rate, time-zone, map, place, and traffic facts are reported only from observed provider evidence.

Recovery Notes

• If the provider, plugin, API key, or connector is missing, route to toolbelt-readiness before preparing result claims.
• If the request asks for citations, best practices, docs, or broad current-source synthesis, route to research instead.
• If the request would create, update, invite, send, or mutate external provider state, route to connector-operator instead.

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.

Use When

Use when Hermes should prepare or supervise read-only live information lookups without claiming provider availability, API access, freshness, retrieval, or result correctness.

Catalog Metadata

Category: live-info Phase: live-info-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:

• live_info_task_card/v1
• live_info_scope/v1
• freshness_boundary/v1
• live_info_result_manifest/v1 when observed
• next action
• prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

• live_info_task_card/v1 metadata-only wrapper card when prepared
• live_info_scope/v1 with domain, location or symbol, time window, provider preference, units, and stop condition
• freshness_boundary/v1 separating requested recency, provider timestamp, source quality, and stale-result handling
• live_info_result_manifest/v1 only when provider response, timestamp, quote/source id, or rendered result is observed

Safety rules:

• A live information card is not provider availability, API access, live data retrieval, weather, market price, sports score, exchange-rate, time-zone, map, or place-result evidence unless observed live-info 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: live-info-operator.

sh
omh runtime record --skill live-info-operator --harness live-info-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.
