Pilot meeting assistant setup

Meeting Assistant Setup

Deploy 3 agents that automate meeting management from scheduling to action item tracking.

Roles

Role	Hostname	Skills	Purpose
scheduler	<prefix>-scheduler	pilot-cron, pilot-webhook-bridge, pilot-receipt	Manages calendar, sends invites, handles rescheduling
note-taker	<prefix>-note-taker	pilot-stream-data, pilot-share, pilot-archive	Captures notes, decisions, and summaries in structured format
action-tracker	<prefix>-action-tracker	pilot-task-router, pilot-alert, pilot-slack-bridge	Extracts action items, assigns owners, sends reminders

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 scheduler:
clawhub install pilot-cron pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-receipt

# For note-taker:
clawhub install pilot-stream-data pilot-share pilot-archive

# For action-tracker:
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-alert 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/meeting-assistant.json << 'MANIFEST'
<role-specific manifest from templates below>
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• scheduler -> note-taker : meeting-started (port 1002)
• note-taker -> action-tracker : meeting-notes (port 1002)
• action-tracker -> external : action-reminder via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# scheduler and note-taker handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-note-taker "setup: meeting-assistant"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-scheduler "setup: meeting-assistant"

# note-taker and action-tracker handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-action-tracker "setup: meeting-assistant"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-note-taker "setup: meeting-assistant"

Workflow Example

# On note-taker -- subscribe to meeting started events:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-scheduler meeting-started

# On action-tracker -- subscribe to meeting notes:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-note-taker meeting-notes

# On scheduler -- publish a meeting started event:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-note-taker meeting-started '{"meeting_id":"MTG-2026-0412","title":"Q2 Planning","attendees":["[email protected]","[email protected]"]}'

# On note-taker -- publish meeting notes to action tracker:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-action-tracker meeting-notes '{"meeting_id":"MTG-2026-0412","decisions":["Launch Project Alpha by June"],"action_items":[{"task":"Draft OKRs","owner":"[email protected]","due":"2026-04-17"}]}'

Dependencies

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