name	pilot-trust-circle
description	Named trust groups with automatic mutual handshakes for Pilot Protocol agents. Use this skill when: 1. You need to create groups of mutually trusting agents (teams, projects) 2. You want to bootstrap trust for new agents joining a group 3. You need to manage multiple distinct trust circles simultaneously Do NOT use this skill when: - You need hierarchical trust (use manual trust approval instead) - You're managing a single flat trust list (use pilot-auto-trust) - You need fine-grained per-connection trust policies

license	AGPL-3.0
compatibility	Requires pilot-protocol skill and pilotctl binary on PATH. The daemon must be running (pilotctl daemon start).

Pilot Trust Circle

Manage named trust groups where all members automatically trust each other.

Commands

Create trust circle

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/circles
cat > ~/.pilot/circles/team-alpha.json <<EOF
{
  "name": "team-alpha",
  "description": "Production agents for Team Alpha",
  "members": ["agent1.pilot", "agent2.pilot", "agent3.pilot"]
}
EOF

Add member to circle

CIRCLE="team-alpha"
NEW_MEMBER="agent4.pilot"

jq --arg member "$NEW_MEMBER" '.members += [$member]' \
  ~/.pilot/circles/$CIRCLE.json > /tmp/circle.json && \
  mv /tmp/circle.json ~/.pilot/circles/$CIRCLE.json

pilotctl --json handshake "$NEW_MEMBER" "Member of $CIRCLE"
NODE_ID=$(pilotctl --json find "$NEW_MEMBER" | jq -r '.[0].node_id')
pilotctl --json approve "$NODE_ID"

Bootstrap circle membership

CIRCLE="team-alpha"

cat ~/.pilot/circles/$CIRCLE.json | jq -r '.members[]' | \
while read -r MEMBER; do
  pilotctl --json handshake "$MEMBER" "Trust circle: $CIRCLE" || true
done

pilotctl --json pending | jq -r '.[] | .hostname' | \
while read -r HOSTNAME; do
  if cat ~/.pilot/circles/.json | jq -e --arg h   >/dev/null; 
    NODE_ID=$(pilotctl --json pending | jq -r --arg h  )
    pilotctl --json approve
