Pilot Digital Twin Setup

Other

Deploy a digital twin platform with 4 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a digital twin for physical asset monitoring and predictive maintenance 2. User is configuring agents for sensor ingestion, physics simulation, or anomaly detection 3. User asks about predictive maintenance, asset health monitoring, or real-vs-predicted comparison Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants basic metrics collection (use pilot-metrics instead) - User only needs event filtering without a twin model (use pilot-event-filter instead) - User wants a single alert notification (use pilot-alert instead)

Digital Twin Setup

Deploy 4 agents: sensor-bridge, model-engine, anomaly-detector, and action-planner.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
sensor-bridge	`<prefix>-sensor-bridge`	pilot-stream-data, pilot-metrics, pilot-gossip	Ingests real-time telemetry from physical assets
model-engine	`<prefix>-model-engine`	pilot-dataset, pilot-task-router, pilot-consensus	Maintains physics model, runs simulations
anomaly-detector	`<prefix>-anomaly-detector`	pilot-event-filter, pilot-alert, pilot-audit-log	Detects drift between real and predicted behavior
action-planner	`<prefix>-action-planner`	pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-cron, pilot-slack-bridge	Schedules maintenance, notifies field teams

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 sensor-bridge:
clawhub install pilot-stream-data pilot-metrics pilot-gossip
# For model-engine:
clawhub install pilot-dataset pilot-task-router pilot-consensus
# For anomaly-detector:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-alert pilot-audit-log
# For action-planner:
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-cron pilot-slack-bridge

Step 3: Set the hostname and write the manifest to ~/.pilot/setups/digital-twin.json.

Step 4: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with the peers for their role.

Data Flows

sensor-bridge -> model-engine : real-time telemetry from physical assets (port 1002)
model-engine -> anomaly-detector : predictions and expected behavior baselines (port 1002)
anomaly-detector -> action-planner : anomaly alerts with severity and root cause (port 1002)
action-planner -> external : maintenance orders to field team systems (port 443)

Workflow Example

# On sensor-bridge -- stream telemetry:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-model-engine telemetry '{"asset_id":"PUMP-A7","sensors":{"temperature_c":87.3,"vibration_mm_s":4.2}}'
# On model-engine -- send prediction:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-anomaly-detector prediction '{"asset_id":"PUMP-A7","drift_pct":{"temperature":6.3,"vibration":50.0}}'
# On anomaly-detector -- alert planner:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-action-planner anomaly-alert '{"asset_id":"PUMP-A7","severity":"warning","anomaly_type":"bearing_degradation"}'

Dependencies

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