payment-screening
Vérifier un paiement sortant par rapport aux limites, aux listes de sanctions/listes de surveillance et aux contrôles de doublons avant qu’un humain ne le libère.

Use this skill when an operator asks you to check, validate, or screen an outbound payment (wire or ACH) before release.
This skill is read-only. It does not release, send, or settle anything.
Release requires a human approver — see the release-packet skill.
Inputs
- Queue: an ISO 20022
pain.001credit-transfer file (data/payment-queue.json). The screener flattens everyCdtTrfTxInftransaction and screens it byEndToEndId. - Sanctions: a bundled, dated OFAC SDN public-data fixture
(
data/ofac-sdn-fixture.json). It contains three real public SDN records selected for deterministic demonstration; it is not a complete sanctions list. Only the payments are synthetic.
Procedure
1. Screen the payment
Run the screener against a payment ID from the queue (omit --id to screen
the whole batch):
/usr/bin/python3 /sandbox/.hermes/skills/payment-screening/scripts/screen_payment.py \
--queue /sandbox/.hermes/skills/payment-screening/data/payment-queue.json \
--sanctions /sandbox/.hermes/skills/payment-screening/data/ofac-sdn-fixture.json \
--id WIRE-1007
The screener returns structured JSON with a decision
(CLEARED_FOR_REVIEW or HOLD) and a per-check breakdown. Sanctions hits
cite the matched OFAC SDN name and program.
2. Report the result
Use this structure:
- Decision: CLEARED_FOR_REVIEW or HOLD
- Checks: limit · sanctions · duplicate · beneficiary (pass/fail each)
- Exceptions: the exact rule that fired, in plain language
- Next step: what the human checker should verify before releasing
- Caveat: screening is support; the human approver is accountable
3. On HOLD
Never recommend overriding a hold. State the rule, and route to the appropriate human queue (sanctions analyst, treasury, compliance).
Pitfalls
- Do not claim a payment passed if any check failed.
- Do not invent a sanctions match or clear a real one — report what the OFAC SDN fixture returned, with the matched name and program.
- Do not release the payment. You cannot reach the payment rail, and you must not imply that you can.
