Description
Named trust groups with automatic mutual handshakes for Pilot Protocol agents. Use this skill when: 1. You need to create groups of mutually trusting agents...
Usage Guidance
This skill generally does what it says (creates and bootstraps trust circles), but proceed with caution: 1) Add 'jq' to the declared required binaries before running so the environment is complete. 2) Review and avoid running the auto-approve loops on untrusted networks — the script approves pending nodes by hostname match only, which can let an attacker with a spoofed hostname gain trust. Prefer verifying cryptographic identifiers (node key fingerprints or explicit node IDs) before calling pilotctl approve. 3) Test the commands manually on a non-production agent to confirm pilotctl --json find/pending output format and to ensure the scripts select the intended node_id. 4) Keep backups of ~/.pilot/circles and use strict file permissions. If you need strong security guarantees, do not use the automatic approval parts without adding explicit identity checks; otherwise consider manual approval or additional verification steps.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: pilot-trust-circle Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides utility scripts for managing 'trust circles' within the Pilot Protocol ecosystem. It uses standard tools like jq and pilotctl to automate node handshakes and approvals based on local JSON configuration files in ~/.pilot/circles. The code logic is transparent, aligns with the stated purpose, and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description align with the actions in SKILL.md (creating and managing named trust circles using pilotctl). However, the documentation and metadata omit jq from required binaries even though the scripts rely on jq heavily; that is an inconsistency and could cause runtime failure or confusion.
Instruction Scope
Instructions create and modify files under ~/.pilot/circles and call pilotctl to handshake/approve nodes — expected for this task. But the workflow auto-approves pending nodes based on hostname matching alone and selects the first result from pilotctl --json find; there is no stronger identity verification (key fingerprints, certs, or other cryptographic checks). That behavior can lead to accidental or malicious trust grants if hostnames are spoofed or ambiguous.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill (no install spec, no archives downloaded). Low install risk because it doesn't write code to disk beyond the user's own ~/.pilot files when run. The lack of an install spec is consistent with an instructions-only helper.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are requested, which is proportionate. However the SKILL.md depends on jq in addition to pilotctl; jq is listed as a dependency in prose but not declared in the registry 'requires' block, a minor but important mismatch.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and makes no claims to modify other skills or system-wide settings. It writes per-user config under ~/.pilot, which is expected for managing pilot protocol circles.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install pilot-trust-circle
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /pilot-trust-circle
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
