Ops Observability Card

This is an OMH ops-observability-card workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).

Why This Exists

ops-observability-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: ops-observability-card show token, cost, latency, supplied Prometheus/Grafana metrics, and missing service-quality evidence for this loop.
• Expected behavior: Produce prepare_ops_observability_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: ops-observability-card claim exact provider billing, healthy SLO, incident closure, or remediation completion from local estimates.
• 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 run or workflow scope, metric window, failure modes, and cost/latency boundary are named.
• Local telemetry, provider truth, billing truth, and completion evidence are separate states.
• Warnings name the next measurement or operator review action.

Recovery Notes

• If provider metrics are unavailable, report only local metadata and mark provider truth not_observed.
• If cost or latency looks risky, surface a warning plus the next measurement rather than a completion claim.

Use When

Use when automation, loops, gateway work, executor handoffs, or service operations need a safe command-board for cost, latency, token, history, failure-mode, supplied metric-provider, and service-quality visibility.

Catalog Metadata

Category: observability Phase: telemetry-card 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.
• When advising what to record per model call, require the five answers - which model, how long, how many tokens in and out, whether it succeeded, and why it failed - with streaming calls adding time-to-first-token; the attribute tiers live in omh-agent-ops-review/references/instrumentation-ladder.md.
• Aggregate cost at the four levels - per call, per agent run, per session, per user - and name the budget threshold each level checks against before recommending any optimization signal.
• Never recommend logging raw prompts, responses, or secret values into telemetry; counts, lengths, hashes, and key-set booleans carry the signal without the leak.

Required inputs:

• user request
• target context
• delivery or status expectation
• known missing evidence

Expected outputs:

• ops-observability-card/v1 card or guidance
• external_metric_provider/v1 payload contract
• external_metric_provider_adapter/v1 adapter contract
• ops_service_quality_board/v1 service-quality board
• typed service-quality downgrade gaps
• next action
• prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

• ops-observability-card/v1 metadata-only runtime or wrapper card when recorded
• external_metric_provider/v1 supplied metric payload when available
• external_metric_provider_adapter/v1 connector-ready adapter metadata when available
• ops_service_quality_board/v1 evidence-gated service-quality board

Artifact contracts:

This label denotes the machine-enforcement level, not a skill quality score and not an observed evidence state.

• contract_id: ops_service_quality_board/v1; enforcement_level: executable_validated; consumer_id: validate_ops_service_quality_board

Safety rules:

• An ops observability card is not billing truth, provider quota truth, live metric-provider access, complete tracing, SLO pass, incident closure, root-cause proof, remediation completion, performance proof, or successful workflow completion evidence.
• Do not claim connector, gateway, runtime, file generation, memory mutation, or host automation evidence from prepared guidance.

Runtime Evidence

Use the current host's own tools and subagent/task mechanism when available; otherwise run the same lanes sequentially or name the unavailable capability. A prepared plan, handoff, checklist, or skill installation is not execution, review, CI, merge-readiness, or merge evidence. Record actual tool results, or not_observed / not_available, in the record; never invent dispatch or host accounting. Treat supplied context as advisory, not proof of hidden memory reads or writes. State scope, constraints, verification, and the stop condition before work. 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. Supporting paths are relative to this skill directory; sibling skill paths are relative to its parent. Resolve them from the host-provided skill base directory ({baseDir} on hosts that provide it), never a hardcoded install location. A named workflow not installed here is unavailable, not permission to emulate its host-specific capabilities. Verify through the real surface before done.
