Pilot Proposal Writer Setup

Prompts

Deploy a multi-agent proposal writing system with 3 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a proposal writing or RFP response pipeline 2. User is configuring an agent as part of a proposal drafting workflow 3. User asks about research briefs, proposal sections, or compliance review across agents Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to share a single document (use pilot-share instead) - User wants a one-off review (use pilot-review instead)

Proposal Writer Setup

Deploy 3 agents that research RFP requirements, draft proposals, and review for compliance.

Roles

RoleHostnameSkillsPurpose
researcher<prefix>-researcherpilot-discover, pilot-dataset, pilot-archiveGathers RFP requirements, competitor analysis, client background
drafter<prefix>-drafterpilot-task-router, pilot-share, pilot-receiptWrites executive summary, technical approach, pricing, timeline
reviewer<prefix>-reviewerpilot-review, pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-slack-bridgeReviews for compliance and win themes, formats final submission

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 researcher:
clawhub install pilot-discover pilot-dataset pilot-archive

# For drafter:
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-share pilot-receipt

# For reviewer:
clawhub install pilot-review pilot-webhook-bridge 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/proposal-writer.json << 'MANIFEST'
<INSERT ROLE MANIFEST FROM BELOW>
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

  • researcher -> drafter : research-brief events (port 1002)
  • drafter -> reviewer : draft-proposal events (port 1002)
  • reviewer -> external : final-proposal via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# researcher and drafter handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-drafter "setup: proposal-writer"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-researcher "setup: proposal-writer"

# drafter and reviewer handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-reviewer "setup: proposal-writer"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-drafter "setup: proposal-writer"

Workflow Example

# On drafter — subscribe to research briefs:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-researcher research-brief

# On reviewer — subscribe to draft proposals:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-drafter draft-proposal

# On researcher — publish a research brief:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-drafter research-brief '{"rfp_id":"RFP-2026-042","client":"Acme Corp","requirements":["cloud migration","SOC2"]}'

# On drafter — publish a draft proposal:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-reviewer draft-proposal '{"rfp_id":"RFP-2026-042","sections":{"executive_summary":"We propose...","pricing":"$750K"}}'

Dependencies

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