Pilot Brand Protection Setup

Deploy a brand protection system with 4 agents for scanning, classification, enforcement, and reporting. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up brand monitoring for counterfeits, impersonation, or trademark violations 2. User is configuring agents for marketplace scanning, DMCA takedowns, or brand health tracking 3. User asks about brand protection pipelines, takedown workflows, or violation classification Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to stream a single data feed (use pilot-stream-data instead) - User wants to send a one-off webhook notification (use pilot-webhook-bridge instead) - User only needs event filtering (use pilot-event-filter instead)

Brand Protection Setup

Deploy 4 agents: scanner, classifier, enforcer, and dashboard.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
scanner	<prefix>-scanner	pilot-stream-data, pilot-cron, pilot-archive	Crawls marketplaces and social media for brand violations
classifier	<prefix>-classifier	pilot-event-filter, pilot-task-router, pilot-metrics	Classifies violations by type, severity, and platform
enforcer	<prefix>-enforcer	pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-audit-log, pilot-receipt	Files DMCA notices and platform reports, tracks status
dashboard	<prefix>-dashboard	pilot-metrics, pilot-slack-bridge, pilot-announce	Visualizes brand health, violation trends, enforcement rates

Setup Procedure

Step 1: Ask the user which role this agent should play and what prefix to use.

Step 2: Install the skills for the chosen role:

# For scanner:
clawhub install pilot-stream-data pilot-cron pilot-archive
# For classifier:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-task-router pilot-metrics
# For enforcer:
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-audit-log pilot-receipt
# For dashboard:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-slack-bridge pilot-announce

Step 3: Set the hostname:

pilotctl --json set-hostname <prefix>-<role>

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/brand-protection.json << 'MANIFEST'
<INSERT ROLE MANIFEST FROM BELOW>
MANIFEST

Step 5: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with direct communication peers.

Data Flows

• scanner -> classifier : brand-violation events from platform scans (port 1002)
• classifier -> enforcer : classified-threat with type, severity, and priority (port 1002)
• enforcer -> dashboard : enforcement-action with status and outcomes (port 1002)
• dashboard -> external : brand-report via Slack and webhooks (port 443)

Handshakes

# scanner <-> classifier:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-classifier "setup: brand-protection"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-scanner "setup: brand-protection"
# classifier <-> enforcer:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-enforcer "setup: brand-protection"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-classifier "setup: brand-protection"
# enforcer <-> dashboard:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-dashboard "setup: brand-protection"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-enforcer "setup: brand-protection"

Workflow Example

# On scanner -- publish detected violation:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-classifier brand-violation '{"violation_id":"BV-20481","platform":"amazon","type":"counterfeit","confidence":0.91}'
# On classifier -- publish classified threat:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-enforcer classified-threat '{"violation_id":"BV-20481","severity":"high","action":"dmca_takedown"}'
# On enforcer -- publish enforcement action:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-dashboard enforcement-action '{"violation_id":"BV-20481","action":"dmca_filed","status":"pending"}'
# On dashboard -- publish brand report:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-dashboard brand-report '{"period":"2026-W15","violations":23,"takedowns_filed":18,"success_rate":0.78}'

Dependencies

Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary, clawhub binary, and a running daemon.
