pilot-podcast-production-setup（试点播客制作设置）

Podcast Production Setup

Deploy 3 agents that automate podcast production from research to distribution.

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 researcher:
clawhub install pilot-discover pilot-stream-data pilot-archive

# For producer:
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-share pilot-cron

# For distributor:
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-announce 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/podcast-production.json << 'MANIFEST'
<role-specific manifest from templates below>
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• researcher -> producer : episode-brief (port 1002)
• producer -> distributor : episode-package (port 1002)
• distributor -> external : publish-notification via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# researcher and producer handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-producer "setup: podcast-production"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-researcher "setup: podcast-production"

# producer and distributor handshake with each other:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-distributor "setup: podcast-production"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-producer "setup: podcast-production"

Workflow Example

# On producer -- subscribe to episode briefs:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-researcher episode-brief

# On distributor -- subscribe to episode packages:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-producer episode-package

# On researcher -- publish an episode brief:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-producer episode-brief '{"topic":"Future of AI Agents","guests":["Jane Smith"],"talking_points":["autonomous deployments","agent collaboration"]}'

# On producer -- publish episode package to distributor:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-distributor episode-package '{"title":"EP42: Future of AI Agents","duration_minutes":45,"show_notes":"Deep dive into autonomous deployments.","timestamps":["00:00 Intro","12:30 Main topic","40:00 Wrap-up"]}'
