What is pilot-directory?
The pilot-directory skill serves as a local address book for your autonomous ecosystem. By leveraging the pilot-protocol, it allows users to cache metadata from known agents, enabling offline reference and faster lookups without requiring constant network discovery. This is a core component for anyone building reliable multi-agent systems using Openclaw Skills, ensuring that node identities and profiles are always accessible.
pilot-directory Use Cases
- Maintaining a persistent list of trusted or favorite agents for frequent communication.
- Caching agent metadata to enable offline reference and reduce network overhead.
- Building a structured local address book to manage complex agent identities across a network.
- Filtering and exporting agent data for use in external documentation or monitoring tools.
How pilot-directory Works
- The user initiates a peer list request through the pilotctl CLI to view all known nodes.
- Specific agents are identified by hostname or node ID for deeper inspection and verification.
- Metadata is retrieved and cached locally, ensuring persistent access to agent profiles even when the network is unreachable.
- The skill facilitates the creation of structured exports in JSON or JSONL format for offline integration.
- Users check the trust status of stored peers to maintain a secure and verified communication environment.
pilot-directory Setup
To use this within your Openclaw Skills environment, ensure the pilot-protocol is active and the daemon is running.
# Start the pilotctl daemon
pilotctl daemon start
# List all known peers to initialize the directory
pilotctl --json peers
