Omh Running Work Board

Running Work Board

This is an OMH running-work-board workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).

Why This Exists

running-work-board exists because multi-session coding work was invisible: the runtime was tracked but the model was dropped, token counts had no write site at all, and a blocking dispatch could not report that it was still running. The board answers which model on which runtime, or says unknown.

Do Not Use When

• The user wants to start, plan, or dispatch coding work rather than observe it.
• The user wants review, CI, or merge evidence, which a status board never provides.
• The user is asking about their own application's runtime status rather than OMH coding units.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: what is running right now
• Expected behavior: One line per unit: label, runtime, model, status, elapsed, tokens, with unknown printed where nothing was observed.
• Why: The request is about observed local coding activity, not about starting work.

Bad example:

• Prompt: is the deploy done and did CI pass
• Expected behavior: Route to verification or CI evidence instead of the activity board.
• Why: Observed activity is not result, review, CI, or merge evidence.

Completion Checklist

• Runtime and model are named per unit, or explicitly reported as unknown.
• Token counts and session references are observed values or the literal unknown, never estimates.
• Elapsed time for an unfinished unit comes from its start marker, which cannot prove the unit is still alive.
• The board is labelled observed activity, not result, verification, review, CI, or merge evidence.
• On Hermes, delegate_task children and kanban workers of this conversation come from omh_hud (its subagents rows and kanban block, read from Hermes' own records) beside the OMH units, each labelled by source; /agents is the person's own Hermes list of running agents and tasks in Hermes' own terminal; the OMH TUI refuses /agents, and its agent list (Down on an empty composer while subagents show) shows the subagents of the running turn.

Recovery Notes

• If no units are found, say so plainly rather than implying nothing ever ran.
• If omh_hud is not available, say delegate children and kanban workers were not read rather than implying none are running.
• If a marker is stale because a process died, report it as observed-start-without-end instead of claiming the unit is running.
• If tokens are unknown for a runtime with no structured output, say the runtime does not report them.

When to Use

Use when the user asks what coding work is running right now -- which unit, which runtime, which model, how long, how many tokens -- rather than asking to start, plan, or review work.

Catalog Metadata

Category: operator Phase: observability Quality tier: evidence-gated Reasoning demand: light

Quality bar:

• Name the workflow target, constraints, validation evidence, and stop condition.
• Separate Hermes guidance from executor or wrapper behavior unless evidence proves the step happened.

Required inputs:

• local coding artifacts
• on Hermes, this conversation's omh_hud rows

Expected outputs:

• per-unit runtime and model
• observed tokens and elapsed
• on Hermes, delegate children and kanban workers, labelled by source
• explicit unknowns

Artifact expectations:

• metadata-only status board projection from local artifacts

Safety rules:

• Do not imply hidden Hermes runtime behavior.
• Use the smallest verification that can prove the claim.

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: the host's 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. 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.
