| description | Issue and verify Ed25519-signed capability certificates for Pilot Protocol agents.
Use this skill when: 1. You need to issue capability proofs or authorization certificates 2. You want to verify agent capabilities using cryptographic signatures 3. You need delegated authorization with time-limited certificates
Do NOT use this skill when: - You only need basic trust establishment (use pilotctl trust) - You need long-term credentials (use pilot-keychain) - You're implementing PKI (certificates are capability-based, not identity-based)

Pilot Certificate
Capability certificate system for Pilot Protocol using Ed25519 signatures.
Commands
Issue Certificate
CERT_ID=$(openssl rand -hex 8)
EXPIRES_AT=$(date -u -d '+24 hours' +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
cat > ~/.pilot/certificates/issued/cert-$CERT_ID.json <<EOF
{
"certificate_id": "$CERT_ID",
"subject": {"hostname": "$SUBJECT"},
"capabilities": ["read", "write", "admin"],
"expires_at": "$EXPIRES_AT",
"status": "active"
}
EOF
Send Certificate
pilotctl --json send-file "$RECIPIENT" ~/.pilot/certificates/issued/cert-$CERT_ID.json
Verify Certificate
EXPIRES_AT=$(jq -r '.expires_at' "$CERT_FILE")
EXPIRES_TS=$(date -d "$EXPIRES_AT" +%s)
[ $(date +%s) -le $EXPIRES_TS ] && echo "VERIFIED" || echo "EXPIRED"
Check Capability
jq -e --arg cap "$CAPABILITY" '.capabilities[] | select(. == $cap)' "$CERT_FILE" && echo "Has capability"
Workflow Example
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ~/.pilot/certificates/{issued,received}
CERT_ID=$(openssl rand -hex 8)
SUBJECT="admin.pilot"
cat > ~/.pilot/certificates/issued/cert-$CERT_ID.json <<EOF
{
"certificate_id": "$CERT_ID",
"subject": {"hostname": "$SUBJECT"},
"capabilities": ["read", "write", "admin"],
"expires_at": "$(date -u -d '+48 hours' +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)",
"status": "active"
}
EOF
pilotctl --json send-file ~/.pilot/certificates/issued/cert-.json
