pilot-task-chain

Chain tasks into sequential pipelines where each step's output becomes the next step's input.

Commands

Submit first task

pilotctl --json task submit "$AGENT_1" --task "Fetch data from https://api.example.com/data"

Wait for completion

TASK_ID="abc123"
while true; do
  STATUS=$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$TASK_ID\") | .status")
  [ "$STATUS" == "completed" ] && break
  sleep 2
done

Extract result and submit next task

RESULT=$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$TASK_ID\") | .result")

pilotctl --json task submit "$AGENT_2" --task "Transform data: $RESULT"

Workflow Example

Three-step pipeline (Fetch -> Transform -> Store):

#!/bin/bash
# Step 1: Fetch
FETCH_TASK=$(pilotctl --json task submit "$FETCH_AGENT" \
  --task "Fetch data from API endpoint")
FETCH_TASK_ID=$(echo "$FETCH_TASK" | jq -r '.task_id')

while [ "$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$FETCH_TASK_ID\") | .status")" != "completed" ]; do
  sleep 2
done

FETCH_RESULT=$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$FETCH_TASK_ID\") | .result")

# Step 2: Transform
TRANSFORM_TASK=$(pilotctl --json task submit "$TRANSFORM_AGENT" \
  --task "Transform data: $FETCH_RESULT")
TRANSFORM_TASK_ID=$(echo "$TRANSFORM_TASK" | jq -r '.task_id')

while [ "$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$TRANSFORM_TASK_ID\") | .status")" != "completed" ]; do
  sleep 2
done

TRANSFORM_RESULT=$(pilotctl --json task list --type submitted | jq -r ".[] | select(.task_id == \"$TRANSFORM_TASK_ID\") | .result")

# Step 3: Store
STORE_TASK=$(pilotctl --json task submit "$STORE_AGENT" \
  --task "Store data: $TRANSFORM_RESULT")

echo "Pipeline completed: $(echo "$STORE_TASK" | jq -r '.task_id')"

Dependencies

Requires pilot-protocol skill, jq, and multiple agents with complementary capabilities.
