Pilot Customer Onboarding Setup

Deploy a customer onboarding system with 3 agents that automate the new customer journey from welcome through setup to success tracking. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up an automated customer onboarding pipeline 2. User is configuring an agent as part of a customer success or onboarding workflow 3. User asks about automating welcome sequences, setup guides, or adoption tracking across agents Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants a single chat interaction (use pilot-chat instead) - User wants a one-off alert notification (use pilot-alert instead)

Customer Onboarding Setup

Deploy 3 agents that automate the customer journey from welcome through setup to success tracking.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
welcome-bot	<prefix>-welcome-bot	pilot-chat, pilot-announce, pilot-receipt	Greets customers, collects preferences, sends welcome sequences
setup-guide	<prefix>-setup-guide	pilot-task-chain, pilot-share, pilot-webhook-bridge	Walks through configuration, tracks milestones, offers help
success-tracker	<prefix>-success-tracker	pilot-metrics, pilot-alert, pilot-slack-bridge	Monitors adoption, identifies at-risk customers, triggers interventions

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:

# welcome-bot:
clawhub install pilot-chat pilot-announce pilot-receipt
# setup-guide:
clawhub install pilot-task-chain pilot-share pilot-webhook-bridge
# success-tracker:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-alert pilot-slack-bridge

Step 3: Set the hostname:

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

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/customer-onboarding.json << 'MANIFEST'
<USE ROLE TEMPLATE BELOW>
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• welcome-bot -> setup-guide : customer-profile (port 1002)
• setup-guide -> success-tracker : onboarding-progress (port 1002)
• success-tracker -> external : health-report via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# welcome-bot <-> setup-guide:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-setup-guide "setup: customer-onboarding"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-welcome-bot "setup: customer-onboarding"
# setup-guide <-> success-tracker:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-success-tracker "setup: customer-onboarding"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-setup-guide "setup: customer-onboarding"

Workflow Example

# On setup-guide -- subscribe to customer profiles:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-welcome-bot customer-profile
# On success-tracker -- subscribe to onboarding progress:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-setup-guide onboarding-progress
# On welcome-bot -- publish a customer profile:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-setup-guide customer-profile '{"customer_id":"cust_8a3f","name":"Jane Smith","plan":"pro","preferences":{"goals":["integrations","reporting"]}}'
# On setup-guide -- publish onboarding progress:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-success-tracker onboarding-progress '{"customer_id":"cust_8a3f","completion":0.50,"milestones":{"account_created":true,"first_integration":true}}'
