Deploy a dev team assistant system with 4 agents.
Use this skill when:
1. User wants to automate code review, testing, and docs for PRs
2. User is configuring a reviewer, test runner, doc writer, or coordinator agent
3. User asks about automating the PR workflow across multiple agents
Do NOT use this skill when:
- User wants a single code review (use pilot-review instead)
- User wants to run tests once (use pilot-task-router instead)

# Dev Team Assistants Setup
Deploy 4 agents that automate the PR workflow: review, test, docs, and coordination.
## Roles
| Role | Hostname | Skills | Purpose |
|------|----------|--------|---------|
| reviewer | `<prefix>-reviewer` | pilot-github-bridge, pilot-review, pilot-chat | Reviews PR diffs for quality |
| test-runner | `<prefix>-test-runner` | pilot-github-bridge, pilot-task-router, pilot-audit-log | Runs test suites |
| doc-writer | `<prefix>-doc-writer` | pilot-github-bridge, pilot-share, pilot-task-router | Generates docs |
| coordinator | `<prefix>-coordinator` | pilot-github-bridge, pilot-task-chain, pilot-slack-bridge, pilot-broadcast | Orchestrates and summarizes |
## Setup Procedure
**Step 1:** Ask the user which role and prefix.
**Step 2:** Install skills:
```bash
# reviewer:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-review pilot-chat
# test-runner:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-task-router pilot-audit-log
# doc-writer:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-share pilot-task-router
# coordinator:
clawhub install pilot-github-bridge pilot-task-chain pilot-slack-bridge pilot-broadcast
```
**Step 3:** Set hostname and write manifest to `~/.pilot/setups/dev-team-assistants.json`.
**Step 4:** Handshake with coordinator (all agents handshake the coordinator).
## Manifest Templates Per Role
### coordinator
```json
{
"setup": "dev-team-assistants", "role": "coordinator", "role_name": "PR Coordinator",
"hostname": "<prefix>-coordinator",
"skills": {
"pilot-github-bridge": "Watch GitHub for new PRs, post unified summary comments.",
"pilot-task-chain": "Fan out review/test/doc tasks and collect results.",
"pilot-slack-bridge": "Post PR status updates to Slack.",
"pilot-broadcast": "Broadcast new PR notifications to all assistants."
},
"data_flows": [
{ "direction": "send", "peer": "<prefix>-reviewer", "port": 1002, "topic": "pr-review", "description": "PR details for review" },
{ "direction": "send", "peer": "<prefix>-test-runner", "port": 1002, "topic": "pr-test", "description": "PR details for testing" },
{ "direction": "send", "peer": "<prefix>-doc-writer", "port": 1002, "topic": "pr-docs", "description": "PR details for docs" },
{ "direction": "receive", "peer": "<prefix>-reviewer", "port": 1002, "topic": "review-result", "description": "Review findings" },
{ "direction": "receive", "peer": "<prefix>-test-runner", "port": 1002, "topic": "test-result", "description": "Test results" },
{ "direction": "receive", "peer": "<prefix>-doc-writer", "port": 1001, "topic": "docs-result", "description": "Generated docs" }
],
"handshakes_needed": ["<prefix>-reviewer", "<prefix>-test-runner", "<prefix>-doc-writer"]
}
```
### reviewer
```json
{
"setup": "dev-team-assistants", "role": "reviewer", "role_name": "Code Reviewer",
"hostname": "<prefix>-reviewer",
"skills": {
"pilot-github-bridge": "Fetch PR diffs from GitHub.",
"pilot-review": "Analyze code for quality, security, and style issues.",
"pilot-chat": "Discuss review findings with coordinator."
},
"data_flows": [
{ "direction": "receive", "peer": "<prefix>-coordinator", "port": 1002, "topic": "pr-review", "description": "PR details" },
{ "direction": "send", "peer": "<prefix>-coordinator", "port": 1002, "topic": "review-result", "description": "Review findings" }
],
"handshakes_needed": ["<prefix>-coordinator"]
}
```
## Data Flows
- `coordinator → reviewer/test-runner/doc-writer` : PR details (port 1002)
- `reviewer/test-runner → coordinator` : results (port 1002)
- `doc-writer → coordinator` : generated docs (port 1001)
## Workflow Example
```bash
# On coordinator — fan out:
pilotctl --json task submit <prefix>-reviewer --task '{"pr":1234,"repo":"acme/api","action":"review"}'
pilotctl --json task submit <prefix>-test-runner --task '{"pr":1234,"action":"test","branch":"feature/auth"}'
# On reviewer — return:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-coordinator review-result '{"pr":1234,"issues":2,"approval":"changes_requested"}'
# On test-runner — return:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-coordinator test-result '{"pr":1234,"passed":89,"failed":0,"coverage":82}'
```
## Dependencies
Requires `pilot-protocol` skill, `pilotctl` binary, `clawhub` binary, and a running daemon.
