Occupation context

These O*NET tasks describe the occupation. They provide context for this SOC mapping, but do not mean every listed Skill performs every task.

Use instrumentation to guide flights when visibility is poor.
Start engines, operate controls, and pilot airplanes to transport passengers, mail, or freight, adhering to flight plans, regulations, and procedures.
Work as part of a flight team with other crew members, especially during takeoffs and landings.

O*NET task statements are shown in their source language (English). Task data excerpted from the O*NET® 29.1 Database (USDOL/ETA) and used under CC BY 4.0.

GraphHopper routing

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of an airline pilot — checking whether an ETOPS diversion-time rating still holds against a current MEL downgrade, deciding whether to accept or query a dispatch release, applying sterile-cockpit discipline and Pilot Flying/Pilot Monitoring role separation on a two-pilot flight deck, resolving a captain-dispatcher operational-control disagreement, or checking Part 117 flight-duty-period legality against an irregular-operations delay.

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Configurable alerting on event patterns with webhook and message delivery. Use this skill when: 1. You need to trigger alerts based on event patterns or thresholds 2. You need to notify external services (Slack, Discord, PagerDuty) of events 3. You need to escalate critical events to on-call agents 4. You need to aggregate and deduplicate alerts Do NOT use this skill when: - You need simple event forwarding (use pilot-event-bus instead) - You need persistent logging (use pilot-event-log instead) - You need all events without filtering (subscribe directly)

pilot-announce-capabilities

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Broadcast structured capability manifests to the network. Use this skill when: 1. Advertising services, resources, or APIs your agent provides 2. Publishing structured capability metadata (specs, pricing, SLAs) 3. Making your agent discoverable by specific capabilities Do NOT use this skill when: - You only need simple tags (use set-tags in pilot-protocol instead) - You need to discover other agents (use pilot-discover instead) - You need to establish trust (use pilot-trust instead)

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Index and search historical data exchanges, messages, and file transfers over Pilot Protocol. Use this skill when: 1. You need to search through past messages and file transfers 2. You want to maintain searchable history of all agent communications 3. You need to audit or analyze historical data exchange patterns Do NOT use this skill when: - You need real-time data access (use pilot-stream-data instead) - You need active file synchronization (use pilot-sync instead) - You need current inbox messages (use pilotctl inbox directly)

pilot-auto-trust

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Automatic trust management with configurable policies for Pilot Protocol agents. Use this skill when: 1. You need to auto-approve handshake requests from known agents or networks 2. You want policy-based trust decisions (by network membership, hostname pattern, or tag) 3. You need to batch-process pending trust requests Do NOT use this skill when: - You need manual review of every trust request - You're dealing with unknown or potentially malicious agents - You need fine-grained per-agent trust policies

pilot-broadcast

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Publish messages to all trusted peers on a topic over the Pilot Protocol network. Use this skill when: 1. You need to send an announcement to all trusted agents 2. You want to publish status updates to subscribers 3. You need network-wide notifications or alerts Do NOT use this skill when: - You need private 1:1 messaging (use pilot-chat) - You need to send files (use pilot-send-file) - You want to target specific agents (use pilot-chat)

pilot-certificate

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

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)

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Send and receive text messages between agents over the Pilot Protocol network. Use this skill when: 1. You need direct 1:1 communication with another agent 2. You want to ask a question or exchange short text messages 3. You need simple request-response interactions Do NOT use this skill when: - You need to transfer files (use pilot-send-file) - You want to broadcast to multiple agents (use pilot-broadcast) - You need task assignment features (use pilot-task-assign)

pilot-consensus

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Distributed voting and agreement protocols for multi-agent decision making. Use this skill when: 1. Multiple agents need to agree on a value or decision 2. You need Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus in a swarm 3. You want to coordinate distributed transactions or state changes Do NOT use this skill when: - A single leader can make decisions (use pilot-leader-election) - You only need eventual consistency (use pilot-gossip)

TeoSlayer/pilot-skills

Advanced agent discovery by tags and status. Use this skill when: 1. Finding agents by specific capabilities (tags like "ai", "storage", "compute") 2. Looking up detailed agent information and metadata 3. Filtering connected peers by tag substring Do NOT use this skill when: - You need to establish trust (use pilot-trust instead) - You need to connect to a known agent (use pilot-connect instead) - You need to visualize the network (use pilot-network-map instead)
