# Toolbelt Readiness

This is a Hermes-native `toolbelt-readiness` workflow skill.

## Why This Exists

`toolbelt-readiness` 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: toolbelt-readiness what MCP or CLI tools do I need for weekly Linear and GitHub triage?
- Expected behavior: Produce `prepare_toolbelt_readiness` 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: toolbelt-readiness claim Gmail access works without an observed credential check.
- 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

- Confirm the workflow target, evidence boundary, and stop condition are named.
- Report which outputs are prepared, observed, blocked, or missing.
- Name the smallest next verification or handoff instead of claiming completion from narration.

## Recovery Notes

- If required context is missing, ask one blocking question or route back to the narrower workflow.
- If runtime or wrapper evidence is unavailable, keep the status as not_observed and expose the next observable action.

## 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 a workflow depends on MCP, CLI, API credentials, or connectors and Hermes must show installed, missing, optional, and unsafe tools.

    Strong routing signals: `toolbelt-readiness`, `mcp readiness`, `tool readiness`, `plugin readiness`, `connector readiness`, `needed mcp`, `api credential`, `missing cli`, `missing plugin`, `missing connector`, `external connector`, `external tool`, `mcp server`, `mcp servers`, `mcp tool`, `mcp tools`, `toolbelt`, `github cli`, `linear cli`, `jira cli`, `notion connector`, `google drive connector`, `gmail connector`, `slack api`, `browser tool`, `image generator connector`, `mcp`, `credential`, `외부 도구`, `외부 연결`, `커넥터`, `플러그인`, `자격증명`

Category: `tools`
Phase: `readiness-check`
Hermes role: `tracker`
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:

- toolbelt-readiness/v1 card or guidance
- next action
- prepared-vs-observed boundary

Artifact expectations:

- toolbelt-readiness/v1 metadata-only runtime or wrapper card when recorded

Safety rules:

- A toolbelt readiness card is not MCP server installation, credential validation, API access, connector invocation, or successful workflow 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: `toolbelt-readiness`.

```sh
omh runtime record --skill toolbelt-readiness --harness toolbelt-readiness --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: its SOUL.md persona owns reply language, tone, speech level, and sentence endings, progress updates included (where it sets no language, use the one the user wrote in), and OMH shapes structure and content only; 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.
