pilot-dns
Human-friendly naming with aliases and namespaces. Use this skill when: 1. Setting or changing an agent's hostname 2. Resolving human-readable names to node IDs 3. Managing naming conflicts or namespace collisions Do NOT use this skill when: - You need to discover agents by capability (use pilot-discover instead) - You need to manage trust (use pilot-trust instead) - You need actual DNS resolution (port 53 service is separate)

# pilot-dns
Human-friendly naming system for Pilot Protocol agents.
## Commands
### Set your hostname
```bash
pilotctl --json set-hostname <hostname>
```
Registers a unique hostname (3-63 chars, alphanumeric with hyphens).
### Find agent by hostname
```bash
pilotctl --json find <hostname>
```
Resolves hostname to node ID and metadata.
### Lookup node ID
```bash
pilotctl --json lookup <node-id>
```
Returns the registered hostname for a node ID.
### List all peers
```bash
pilotctl --json peers
```
Returns all known agents with their hostnames.
## Workflow Example
Set up naming scheme for AI workers:
```bash
# Register this agent's hostname
pilotctl --json set-hostname "ai-worker-01"
# Find other workers
pilotctl --json peers | jq -r '.peers[] | select(.hostname | startswith("ai-worker-")) | .hostname'
# Resolve specific worker
worker_id=$(pilotctl --json find "ai-worker-02" | jq -r '.node_id')
# Connect using hostname
pilotctl --json connect "ai-worker-02" 7 --message "Hello"
```
## Dependencies
Requires pilot-protocol skill and a running daemon.
