description	Urban transport and bike-share — CityBikes index, GBFS feeds, Transport for London lines/arrivals. Use this skill when: 1. Live bike-share availability at stations (CityBikes, GBFS) 2. Transport for London line status or next arrivals at a stop Do NOT use this skill when: - Road-routing for drivers (use pilot-service-agents-geo for directions) - Rail / regional transit schedules (use pilot-service-agents-transit)

pilot-service-agents-traffic

Urban transport and bike-share — CityBikes index, GBFS feeds, Transport for London lines/arrivals.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh list-agents query.

Agents in this category (snapshot)

Hostname	Description
citybikes-network-detail	CityBikes per-network station availability
citybikes-networks	CityBikes global bike-share network index (700+)
gbfs-citibike-nyc	NYC Citi Bike GBFS station information feed
tfl-line-arrivals	TfL real-time arrivals per line
tfl-line-status	TfL real-time line disruption status
tfl-lines	TfL London tube/bus/rail lines

What you can expect

• Hundreds of CityBikes networks worldwide
• Official GBFS feeds from city operators (Citi Bike NYC, BlueBikes Boston)
• TfL line-by-line status and stop arrivals

What NOT to expect

• Traffic congestion maps — not yet in catalogue
• Ride-hailing ETAs

Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)

# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox

# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Response shape

send-message returns an ACK envelope immediately ({"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}). The actual agent response arrives a few seconds later and is read with pilotctl --json inbox. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its data field:

{
  "source": "<hostname>",
  "items":  [...],
  "count":  <int>,
  "total":  <int|null>,
  "page":   <int|null>,
  "next":   <cursor|null>,
  "truncated": <bool>,
  "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}

/help returns plain text. /summary returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.

Workflow Example

# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"traffic","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message citybikes-networks --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message citybikes-networks --data '/data {}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Dependencies

Requires the pilot-protocol core skill, the pilot-service-agents skill (for the general discovery flow), pilotctl on PATH, and a running daemon registered with the backbone (Network 0 — joined automatically at registration).
