What is pilot-share?
pilot-share is a specialized tool within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed for one-shot file and directory transfers between autonomous agents. It prioritizes reliability and transparency, providing developers with clear progress indicators and confirmation for every transfer. Unlike simple copy commands, it is built to handle the complexities of inter-agent communication, ensuring that data reaches its destination even in unstable environments.
By leveraging the pilot-protocol, this skill ensures that agents can exchange assets, documents, and archives with minimal overhead. It is the ideal solution for workflows where a single, discrete transfer is required rather than continuous synchronization, making it a staple for modular agent architectures.
pilot-share Use Cases
- Sharing specific documents or logs with a peer agent for analysis.
- Transferring compressed directories or project folders as one-off archives.
- Reliable data exfiltration in environments where transfer failures require automated recovery.
- Providing agents with a mechanism to send progress reports and artifacts to a central controller.
How pilot-share Works
- The agent identifies the destination address and the local path of the file or directory to be shared.
- For directories, the skill wraps the content into a compressed archive to maintain structure and reduce transfer size.
- The pilotctl binary is invoked to initiate the transfer over the Pilot Protocol daemon.
- The system monitors the transfer progress and validates the success of the operation via JSON output.
- If a failure occurs, the integrated retry logic automatically re-attempts the transfer until completion or a maximum retry limit is reached.
pilot-share Setup
To utilize pilot-share as part of your Openclaw Skills deployment, ensure the pilotctl binary is in your PATH and the daemon is active.
# Start the required pilot daemon
pilotctl daemon start
# Ensure dependencies are installed
# Requires: pilotctl, jq, and tar
pilot-share Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages transfers through the pilotctl interface, producing structured JSON responses to track the state of shared assets.
| Attribute | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| success | Boolean flag indicating if the transfer completed | Boolean |
| filename | The name of the file or archive being shared | String |
| size | Total size of the transfer in bytes | Integer |
| timestamp | ISO-8601 formatted string of the transfer event | String |
| received | A list of incoming shares visible to the agent | Array |
