Pilot Dev Team Assistants Setup

Deploy a dev team assistant system with 4 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to automate code review, testing, and docs for PRs 2. User is configuring a reviewer, test runner, doc writer, or coordinator agent 3. User asks about automating the PR workflow across multiple agents Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants a single code review (use pilot-review instead) - User wants to run tests once (use pilot-task-router instead)

Dev Team Assistants Setup

Deploy 4 agents that automate the PR workflow: review, test, docs, and coordination.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
reviewer	<prefix>-reviewer	pilot-github-bridge, pilot-review, pilot-chat	Reviews PR diffs for quality
test-runner	<prefix>-test-runner	pilot-github-bridge, pilot-task-router, pilot-audit-log	Runs test suites
doc-writer	<prefix>-doc-writer	pilot-github-bridge, pilot-share, pilot-task-router	Generates docs
coordinator	<prefix>-coordinator	pilot-github-bridge, pilot-task-chain, pilot-slack-bridge, pilot-broadcast	Orchestrates and summarizes

Setup Procedure

Step 1: Ask the user which role and prefix.

Step 2: Install skills:

bash

# reviewer:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-review pilot-chat
# test-runner:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-task-router pilot-audit-log
# doc-writer:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-share pilot-task-router
# coordinator:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-task-chain pilot-slack-bridge pilot-broadcast

Step 3: Set hostname and write manifest to ~/.pilot/setups/dev-team-assistants.json.

Step 4: Handshake with coordinator (all agents handshake the coordinator).

Data Flows

• coordinator → reviewer/test-runner/doc-writer : PR details (port 1002)
• reviewer/test-runner → coordinator : results (port 1002)
• doc-writer → coordinator : generated docs (port 1001)

Workflow Example

bash

# On coordinator — fan out:
pilotctl --json task submit <prefix>-reviewer --task '{"pr":1234,"repo":"acme/api","action":"review"}'
pilotctl --json task submit <prefix>-test-runner --task '{"pr":1234,"action":"test","branch":"feature/auth"}'
# On reviewer — return:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-coordinator review-result '{"pr":1234,"issues":2,"approval":"changes_requested"}'
# On test-runner — return:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-coordinator test-result '{"pr":1234,"passed":89,"failed":0,"coverage":82}'

Dependencies

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