Pilot Protocol

Overview

Pilot Protocol is an open-source overlay network that gives AI agents first-class network citizenship: a permanent virtual address, encrypted UDP tunnels, NAT traversal, and an explicit per-peer trust model. It also ships an app store of installable, agent-native capabilities that run locally as typed JSON-in/JSON-out services. Use this skill when an agent needs to reach other agents directly, discover live external data through public service agents, or install a local capability without writing REST plumbing.

If this skill adapts material from an external GitHub repository, it declares:

• source_repo: pilot-protocol/pilotprotocol
• source_type: official

When to Use This Skill

• Use when an agent needs a stable address that survives restarts, IP changes,

or moving across clouds (no more re-registering webhooks).

• Use when two or more agents need direct, encrypted communication without a

shared cloud account or a hand-rolled tunnel.

• Use when an agent needs live external data (crypto/FX prices, weather,

package metadata, etc.) via structured JSON instead of scraping HTML.

• Use when you want to install a local, typed capability (search, deploy,

people/company lookups) with one command instead of standing up a service.

How It Works

Step 1: Install the daemon

Download the installer, inspect it, then run it — do not pi
