Pilot Translation Pipeline Setup

Deploy an automated translation pipeline with 3 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a translation or localization pipeline 2. User is configuring an agent as part of a multilingual content workflow 3. User asks about extracting content, translating text, or reviewing translations across agents Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to translate a single piece of text (use pilot-task-router instead) - User wants to stream data once (use pilot-stream-data instead)

Translation Pipeline Setup

Deploy 3 agents that extract content, translate between languages, and review quality.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
extractor	<prefix>-extractor	pilot-stream-data, pilot-share, pilot-archive	Pulls text from documents, websites, or APIs
translator	<prefix>-translator	pilot-task-router, pilot-task-parallel, pilot-receipt	Translates content between languages
reviewer	<prefix>-reviewer	pilot-review, pilot-alert, pilot-webhook-bridge	Reviews quality, publishes approved translations

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:

bash

# For extractor:
clawhub install pilot-stream-data pilot-share pilot-archive

# For translator:
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-task-parallel pilot-receipt

# For reviewer:
clawhub install pilot-review pilot-alert pilot-webhook-bridge

Step 3: Set the hostname:

bash

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

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/translation-pipeline.json << 'MANIFEST'
{
  "setup": "translation-pipeline",
  "setup_name": "Translation Pipeline",
  "role": "<ROLE_ID>",
  "role_name": "<ROLE_NAME>",
  "hostname": "<prefix>-<role>",
  "description": "<ROLE_DESCRIPTION>",
  "skills": { "<skill>": "<contextual description>" },
  "peers": [ { "role": "...", "hostname": "...", "description": "..." } ],
  "data_flows": [ { "direction": "send|receive", "peer": "...", "port": 1002, "topic": "...", "description": "..." } ],
  "handshakes_needed": [ "<peer-hostname>" ]
}
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• extractor -> translator : source-content events (port 1002)
• translator -> reviewer : translated-content events (port 1002)
• reviewer -> external : approved-translation via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

bash

# extractor and translator handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-translator "setup: translation-pipeline"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-extractor "setup: translation-pipeline"

# translator and reviewer handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-reviewer "setup: translation-pipeline"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-translator "setup: translation-pipeline"

Workflow Example

bash

# On translator — subscribe to source content:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-extractor source-content

# On reviewer — subscribe to translated content:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-translator translated-content

# On extractor — publish source content:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-translator source-content '{"source_lang":"en","target_lang":"es","segments":[{"id":"s1","text":"Autonomous agents are transforming software deployment."}]}'

# On translator — publish translated content:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-reviewer translated-content '{"source_lang":"en","target_lang":"es","segments":[{"id":"s1","translated":"Los agentes autonomos estan transformando el despliegue de software.","confidence":0.94}]}'

Dependencies

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