pilot-api-gateway-manager-setup（pilot API gateway manager 设置）

API Gateway Manager Setup

Deploy 4 agents: discovery, router, auth, and monitor.

Roles

Setup Procedure

Step 1: Ask the user which role this agent should play and what prefix to use.

Step 2: Install the skills for the chosen role:

# For discovery:
clawhub install pilot-discover pilot-health pilot-heartbeat-monitor
# For router:
clawhub install pilot-load-balancer pilot-task-router pilot-metrics
# For auth:
clawhub install pilot-verify pilot-audit-log pilot-blocklist
# For monitor:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-alert pilot-slack-bridge

Step 3: Set the hostname:

pilotctl --json set-hostname <prefix>-<role>

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/api-gateway-manager.json << 'MANIFEST'
<INSERT ROLE MANIFEST FROM BELOW>
MANIFEST

Step 5: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with direct communication peers.

Data Flows

• discovery -> router : service-registry updates with healthy backends (port 1002)
• router -> auth : auth-request for incoming API calls (port 1002)
• auth -> monitor : access-log with auth decisions and client metadata (port 1002)
• monitor -> discovery : health-feedback to deregister failing backends (port 1002)
• monitor -> external : api-alert via Slack and dashboards (port 443)

Handshakes

# discovery <-> router:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-router "setup: api-gateway-manager"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-discovery "setup: api-gateway-manager"
# router <-> auth:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-auth "setup: api-gateway-manager"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-router "setup: api-gateway-manager"
# auth <-> monitor:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-monitor "setup: api-gateway-manager"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-auth "setup: api-gateway-manager"
# monitor <-> discovery:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-discovery "setup: api-gateway-manager"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-monitor "setup: api-gateway-manager"

Workflow Example

# On discovery -- publish service registry:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-router service-registry '{"service":"user-api","instances":[{"host":"10.0.1.5","port":8080,"health":"passing"}]}'
# On router -- publish auth request:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-auth auth-request '{"request_id":"req-88210","path":"/api/v2/users","api_key":"key_example_4eC39H"}'
# On auth -- publish access log:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-monitor access-log '{"request_id":"req-88210","client":"acme-corp","decision":"allow","latency_ms":12}'
# On monitor -- publish health feedback:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-discovery health-feedback '{"service":"user-api","instance":"10.0.1.6:8080","status":"failing","error_rate":0.42}'

Dependencies

Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary, clawhub binary, and a running daemon.
