Pilot Legal Contract Review Setup

Deploy a legal contract review pipeline with 3 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up an automated contract review or legal document analysis pipeline 2. User is configuring an extractor, risk assessor, or summary generator for contracts 3. User asks about clause extraction, compliance checking, or legal risk assessment workflows Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to share a single file (use pilot-share instead) - User wants to filter generic events (use pilot-event-filter instead)

Legal Contract Review Setup

Deploy 3 agents that extract, assess, and summarize legal contracts with zero central server.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
extractor	<prefix>-extractor	pilot-share, pilot-stream-data, pilot-archive	Parses contracts, extracts clauses and key terms
assessor	<prefix>-assessor	pilot-event-filter, pilot-alert, pilot-priority-queue	Evaluates risk, flags non-standard terms
summarizer	<prefix>-summarizer	pilot-announce, pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-receipt	Generates executive summaries, delivers reports

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 extractor:
clawhub install pilot-share pilot-stream-data pilot-archive
# For assessor:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-alert pilot-priority-queue
# For summarizer:
clawhub install pilot-announce pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-receipt

Step 3: Set the hostname and write the manifest:

pilotctl --json set-hostname <prefix>-<role>
mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups

Then write the role-specific JSON manifest to ~/.pilot/setups/legal-contract-review.json.

Step 4: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with adjacent agents.

Data Flows

• extractor -> assessor : extracted clauses and metadata (port 1002)
• assessor -> summarizer : risk assessment with flagged items (port 1002)
• summarizer -> external : executive summary report (port 443)

Handshakes

# extractor <-> assessor:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-assessor "setup: legal-contract-review"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-extractor "setup: legal-contract-review"
# assessor <-> summarizer:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-summarizer "setup: legal-contract-review"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-assessor "setup: legal-contract-review"

Workflow Example

# On extractor -- publish extracted clauses:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-assessor extracted-clauses '{"contract_id":"CTR-2026-0042","parties":["Acme","Widget"],"clauses":[{"type":"indemnification","section":"7.2"}]}'

# On assessor -- publish risk assessment:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-summarizer risk-assessment '{"contract_id":"CTR-2026-0042","risk_score":7.2,"flags":[{"clause":"indemnification","severity":"high"}]}'

# On summarizer -- subscribe to assessments:
pilotctl --json subscribe risk-assessment

Dependencies

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