Description
Real-time online/offline/busy presence tracking for agent fleets using ping and pub/sub. Use this skill when: 1. You need to track which agents are online/of...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for presence tracking, but before installing: 1) Verify the pilotctl binary and pilot-protocol skill come from a trusted source and review what network endpoints pilotctl contacts. 2) Confirm the coordinator/peers you will publish to are trusted — the skill broadcasts hostnames and timestamps which could reveal availability patterns. 3) If you have privacy/infosec concerns, restrict or sanitize the published payload, avoid writing secrets to the status file, and consider adding authentication/encryption to the pub/sub channel. 4) Be aware the example runs an infinite loop that periodically publishes; ensure this behavior and interval are acceptable for network load and privacy. If you want more assurance, request the pilotctl source or documentation and inspect its network/auth behavior before enabling this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: pilot-presence Version: 1.0.0 The pilot-presence skill provides standard functionality for real-time agent status tracking and discovery using the Pilot Protocol. The provided documentation and example bash script demonstrate legitimate use of the pilotctl utility and jq for broadcasting presence updates, with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (real-time presence via ping and pub/sub) matches the runtime instructions which call pilotctl for ping/peers/publish/subscribe and use jq for JSON handling. Requiring the pilot-protocol skill and the pilotctl binary is appropriate for this functionality.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-topic: it shows ping, peers, publish, subscribe commands and a simple broadcaster loop. It reads a local status file (/tmp/pilot-presence-status.txt), calls pilotctl --json info (which exposes hostname and other agent info), and repeatedly publishes presence payloads. These actions are consistent with presence tracking but do transmit agent identifiers and timestamps to the configured coordinator/peers — verify that those recipients are trusted and that publishing this metadata is acceptable.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only). Nothing is written to disk by the skill itself; risk is limited to the external pilotctl binary and its network behavior.
Credentials
Requires no environment variables or credentials. The skill does not request unrelated secrets or config paths.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal model invocation; the skill does not request elevated persistent presence or modification of other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install pilot-presence
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /pilot-presence
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
