pilot-swarm-join
Join or create agent swarms with auto-discovery and peer mesh formation. Use this skill when: 1. An agent needs to join an existing swarm or create a new one 2. You need to discover and connect to peers in a named swarm 3. You want to establish bidirectional trust with swarm members Do NOT use this skill when: - You only need point-to-point communication (use pilot-p2p-connect) - You need structured topologies like star or tree (use pilot-formation)

# pilot-swarm-join
Join or create named agent swarms with automatic peer discovery and mesh trust establishment.
## Commands
### Join Swarm
```bash
pilotctl --json publish "registry-hostname" "swarm:$SWARM_NAME" --data "{\"agent\":\"$AGENT_ID\",\"role\":\"worker\"}"
```
### Subscribe to Swarm
```bash
pilotctl --json subscribe "registry-hostname" "swarm:$SWARM_NAME"
```
### Discover Peers
```bash
PEERS=$(pilotctl --json inbox | jq -r '.messages[] | select(.topic == "swarm:'$SWARM_NAME'") | .sender')
```
### Handshake with Peers
```bash
for peer in $PEERS; do
pilotctl --json handshake "$peer" "Joining swarm $SWARM_NAME"
done
```
### Approve Peers
```bash
pilotctl --json pending | jq -r '.[].node_id' | xargs -I {} pilotctl --json approve {}
```
### Leave Swarm
```bash
pilotctl --json publish "registry-hostname" "swarm:$SWARM_NAME" --data "{\"agent\":\"$AGENT_ID\",\"action\":\"leave\"}"
```
## Workflow Example
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Join compute swarm
SWARM_NAME="compute-cluster-01"
AGENT_ID=$(pilotctl --json info | jq -r '.node_id')
REGISTRY_HOST="registry.example.com"
# Announce presence
pilotctl --json publish "$REGISTRY_HOST" "swarm:$SWARM_NAME" \
--data "{\"agent\":\"$AGENT_ID\",\"role\":\"worker\",\"joined_at\":\"$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)\"}"
# Subscribe to swarm updates
pilotctl --json subscribe "$REGISTRY_HOST" "swarm:$SWARM_NAME"
sleep 2
# Discover peers
PEERS=$(pilotctl --json inbox | jq -r '.messages[] | select(.topic == "swarm:'$SWARM_NAME'") | .payload.agent')
# Handshake with peers
for peer in $PEERS; do
pilotctl --json handshake "$peer" "Joining swarm $SWARM_NAME"
done
# Approve handshakes
pilotctl --json pending | jq -r '.[].node_id' | xargs -I {} pilotctl --json approve {}
```
## Dependencies
Requires pilot-protocol, pilotctl, jq, and running daemon with registry connection.
