Voice Operator

This is a Hermes-native voice-operator workflow skill.

Why This Exists

voice-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: voice-operator 'release before lunch, check risky parts' from mobile.
• Expected behavior: Produce prepare_voice_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: voice-operator assume the user approved a destructive action from a vague voice note.
• 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

• The short-input or voice-like request is clarified enough to avoid accidental action.
• The next action is readable, reversible when possible, and confirmation-gated when risky.
• Delivery, notification, or platform behavior is not claimed without wrapper evidence.

Recovery Notes

• If transcript confidence or intent is weak, ask one short clarification before action.
• If platform delivery is unavailable, keep the response in chat and mark delivery not_observed.

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 receives terse voice/mobile-style requests and should produce concise clarification, plan, or status UX.

Catalog Metadata

Category: accessibility Phase: voice-routing Hermes role: guide Quality tier: workflow-surface-gated Reasoning demand: light

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:

• voice-operator/v1 card or guidance
• next action
• prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

• voice-operator/v1 metadata-only runtime or wrapper card when recorded

Safety rules:

• A voice operator card is not speech recognition, mobile notification delivery, platform action, or accepted execution evidence.
• Do not claim connector, gateway, runtime, file generation, memory mutation, or host automation evidence from prepared guidance.

Runtime Evidence

Preferred harness for this skill: voice-operator.

sh
omh runtime record --skill voice-operator --harness voice-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.
