omh-rules-distill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for extracting reusable operating principles from large skill collections and reviewing them before adding them to project rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study failure traces and existing skills, identify candidate rules, and prepare reviewed changes to agent guidance.
Why use it?
It prevents a single failure or anecdote from becoming a broad rule without repeated evidence and approval.

About the project

oh-my-hermes is an operating layer for Hermes Agent that organizes requests into workflows for planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations, and project memory. Hermes users run these workflows through the desktop app, CLI, or messenger app, while the catalogue add-ons extend its native capabilities.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

omh-rules-distill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Rules Distill

This is a Hermes-native rules-distill workflow skill.

Why This Exists

rules-distill gives OMH a disciplined way to learn from large skill ecosystems like ECC without wholesale copying: extract principles, review them, then patch OMH only through explicit verified work.

Do Not Use When

  • The user wants a single workflow route regression; use workflow-learning.
  • The user wants durable factual project memory; use wiki or memory curation.
  • The user already approved a concrete code/doc change; use the implementation workflow.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: rules-distill 최근 실패 trace와 스킬들을 보고 OMH AGENTS에 넣을 만한 반복 원칙 후보만 뽑아줘.
  • Expected behavior: Prepare principle_candidate_set/v1, duplication/conflict report, review queue, and approved patch handoff only after approval.
  • Why: The request is meta-guidance learning and needs review before mutating rules.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: rules-distill 한 번 본 실패를 바로 모든 스킬 규칙으로 써버려.
  • Expected behavior: Keep it as a low-confidence candidate or regression case until repeated evidence and review approval exist.
  • Why: Rule distillation should not turn one-off anecdotes into global behavior.

Completion Checklist

  • The durable fact, source evidence, retrieval hint, and staleness risk are recorded.
  • Uncertain or conflicting knowledge is marked as review-needed rather than permanent truth.
  • Separate coding or docs tasks are extracted instead of buried in notes.

Recovery Notes

  • If source evidence conflicts, route to memory or knowledge review before writing durable guidance.
  • If the fact may be stale, record the staleness warning and next refresh action.

Workflow Lane

  • Current lane: Automation and status (achievements, workspace-audit, production-audit, automation-blueprint, github-event-ops, github-issue-intake, buzz, agent-board, +35 more) - schedules, status, health, and ops review.
  • If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to oh-my-hermes or name the adjacent workflow.
  • Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md.
