Customer Support Triage Setup

Deploy 3 agents that classify, auto-resolve, and escalate support tickets.

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 triage-bot:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-priority-queue pilot-task-router

# For resolver:
clawhub install pilot-task-router pilot-receipt pilot-audit-log

# For escalator:
clawhub install pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-slack-bridge pilot-alert

Step 3: Set the hostname:

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

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/customer-support-triage.json << 'MANIFEST'
<role-specific manifest from templates below>
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• triage-bot -> resolver : ticket-routine (port 1002)
• triage-bot -> escalator : ticket-complex (port 1002)
• escalator -> external : escalation via webhook (port 443)

Handshakes

# triage-bot handshakes with resolver and escalator:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-resolver "setup: customer-support-triage"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-escalator "setup: customer-support-triage"

# resolver and escalator handshake back with triage-bot:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-triage-bot "setup: customer-support-triage"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-triage-bot "setup: customer-support-triage"

Workflow Example

# On resolver -- subscribe to routine tickets:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-triage-bot ticket-routine

# On escalator -- subscribe to complex tickets:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-triage-bot ticket-complex

# On triage-bot -- route a routine ticket:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-resolver ticket-routine '{"ticket_id":"TK-4821","category":"account","urgency":"low","subject":"Password reset"}'

# On triage-bot -- route a complex ticket:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-escalator ticket-complex '{"ticket_id":"TK-4822","category":"technical","urgency":"critical","subject":"Data loss in production"}'

Dependencies

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