Decision Recall

This is a Hermes-native decision-recall workflow skill.

Why This Exists

decision-recall 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: Show rejected decisions for this project before we choose an alternative.
• Expected behavior: Produce show_rejected_decision_recall 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: Claim the recalled rejected decision is an approved memory write or proof the replacement ran.
• 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 query, scope, tags, stale policy, and match limit are explicit.
• Only reviewed rejected candidates are returned; expired candidates stay excluded.
• Recall output is not presented as approved memory, source freshness, or execution evidence.

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: Retained knowledge (memory-new, memory-sync, decision-recall, wiki) - memory, rejected alternatives, wiki notes, retrieval, and staleness.
• If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.
• Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: skill_view(name='omh-routing', file_path='references/skill-common-rail.md').

When to Use

Use for scoped reviewed rejected-decision context; it is not approved memory or execution evidence.

Strong routing signals: `decision-recall`, `rejected decision recall`, `rejected decisions`, `why was this rejected`, `previously rejected alternative`, `거절된 결정`, `기각된 대안`

Catalog Metadata

Category: memory Phase: decision-recall Hermes role: memory-keeper 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:

• rejected_decision_recall/v1
• scoped rejected-decision matches
• claim boundary

Artifact expectations:

• rejected_decision_recall/v1 metadata-only recall result

Safety rules:

• Rejected-decision context is reviewed OMH-local context, not approved memory, Hermes memory, or 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: decision-recall.

omh runtime record --skill decision-recall --harness decision-recall --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 real unresolved user decision or a useful briefing discussion remains, offer one specific, content-linked question. Completed work needs no question; omit unrelated non-action footers and generic offers to continue.

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