Gateway Intent Card

This is a Hermes-native gateway-intent-card workflow skill.

Why This Exists

gateway-intent-card exists so Hermes users can ask for this workflow in chat and get a structured, checkable answer instead of an improvised one.

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: gateway-intent-card route this Discord thread update silently unless action is needed.
• Expected behavior: Produce prepare_gateway_intent_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: gateway-intent-card prove the Telegram attachment was sent.
• 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 origin platform, thread/session boundary, delivery target, and update policy are named.
• Prepared card or command output is separate from platform registration, send, attachment, or delivery evidence.
• The next wrapper action is explicit and platform-safe.

Recovery Notes

• If platform metadata is missing, keep the card platform-neutral and ask for the target surface.
• If send or registration evidence is unavailable, show the adapter-owned action instead of claiming delivery.

Workflow Lane

• Current lane: Automation and status (achievements, workspace-audit, production-audit, live-incident-response, automation-blueprint, github-event-ops, github-issue-intake, buzz, +39 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 needs platform-neutral gateway policy for a chat session, thread, delivery target, attachment, or status update.

Strong routing signals: `gateway-intent-card`, `gateway intent`, `discord thread`, `slack thread`, `telegram delivery`, `discord delivery policy`, `slack delivery policy`, `telegram delivery policy`, `discord status update`, `slack status update`, `telegram status update`, `gateway delivery`, `gateway notification`, `channel delivery`, `session delivery`, `silent update`, `attachment policy`, `status update policy`, `webhook delivery`, `게이트웨이`, `디스코드`, `슬랙`, `텔레그램`, `알림`, `전달`, `채널`, `조용히`, `스레드`, `보내줘`

Catalog Metadata

Category: gateway Phase: intent-card 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:

• gateway-intent-card/v1 card or guidance
• next action
• prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

• gateway-intent-card/v1 metadata-only runtime or wrapper card when recorded

Safety rules:

• A gateway intent card is not platform login, message send, thread mutation, attachment upload, or delivery 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: gateway-intent-card.

omh runtime record --skill gateway-intent-card --harness gateway-intent-card --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. Reply in the user's own words and the host's own voice: OMH's record terms (surface, lane, wrapper, handoff, evidence boundary, not_observed) stay in records and tool calls, never in the sentence the user reads unless they ask about one; and when a stop condition or a decision the user owns ends the turn, offer the next action as a question rather than declaring what will not be done.

Use Hermes-native subagent/delegation features when available: native subagents -> Hermes delegation when available, otherwise sequential lanes.
