What is pilot-broadcast?
The pilot-broadcast skill enables one-to-many communication within a secure network of trusted peers. Built on the Pilot Protocol, it allows an agent to disseminate information across specific topics without needing to manage individual 1:1 connections. This Openclaw Skills integration ensures that high-priority notifications, system alerts, and status updates reach all verified subscribers simultaneously.
By leveraging a decentralized architecture, pilot-broadcast provides a robust mechanism for agent synchronization. It is particularly effective in multi-agent environments where collective awareness of system states or environment changes is required to maintain operational harmony.
pilot-broadcast Use Cases
- Sending system-wide announcements to all verified and trusted agents.
- Publishing real-time status updates or health check telemetry to subscribers.
- Distributing network-wide alerts or emergency notifications.
- Synchronizing global state across a swarm of autonomous agents.
- Implementing a lightweight pub/sub architecture for event-driven workflows.
How pilot-broadcast Works
- The agent verifies its existing trust relationships using the pilotctl utility to ensure a secure delivery path.
- A specific communication topic is defined to categorize the broadcast data for relevant subscribers.
- The sender publishes a data payload to the network targeting a hostname and the specific topic.
- Trusted peers who have previously subscribed to that topic receive the broadcast in their local inbox.
- Peers poll or monitor their inbox to ingest and act upon the received broadcast messages.
pilot-broadcast Setup
To use this skill, you must have the pilotctl binary installed on your PATH and the pilot-protocol skill active. The Pilot daemon must be running.
# Start the Pilot Protocol daemon
pilotctl daemon start
# Establish trust with a peer (if not already done)
pilotctl trust add <peer-public-key>
# Verify your network status
pilotctl --json trust
pilot-broadcast Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a structured communication schema for reliable message delivery and retrieval:
| Attribute | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
hostname |
The identifier of the target peer or network segment | String |
topic |
The logical channel for the broadcast (e.g., 'system-status') | String |
data |
The actual message content or JSON payload | String/JSON |
inbox |
The local storage for all incoming broadcast messages | Array |
pilot-broadcast Advanced Features
- Multi-topic subscription management for granular control over received data.
- Integration with the local trust network to ensure messages only reach verified peers.
- JSON-wrapped output for easy parsing by downstream AI agents and CLI tools.
- Support for complex JSON payloads within the broadcast data parameter for advanced automation.
- Automated inbox polling via Openclaw Skills to trigger secondary agent actions upon receipt.
