Compliance & Governance Setup

Deploy 4 agents: policy engine, auditor, certifier, and reporter.

Roles

Setup Procedure

Step 1: Ask the user which role and prefix.

Step 2: Install skills:

# policy-engine:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-sla pilot-workflow pilot-task-chain
# auditor:
clawhub install pilot-audit-log pilot-verify pilot-event-log pilot-cron
# certifier:
clawhub install pilot-certificate pilot-keychain pilot-verify pilot-receipt
# reporter:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-webhook-bridge pilot-slack-bridge pilot-archive

Step 3: Set hostname and write manifest to ~/.pilot/setups/compliance-governance.json.

Step 4: Handshake: policy↔auditor, policy↔certifier, auditor↔reporter, certifier↔reporter.

Data Flows

• policy → auditor : policy violations (port 1002)
• policy → certifier : certification requests (port 1002)
• auditor → reporter : audit data for reports (port 1002)
• certifier → reporter : certification records (port 1002)

Workflow Example

# On policy-engine:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-auditor policy-violation '{"agent":"data-proc-3","action":"write_to_prod","severity":"high"}'
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-certifier cert-request '{"agent":"data-proc-1","scope":"prod-write"}'
# On auditor:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-reporter audit-finding '{"finding_id":"AUD-721","violation":"unauthorized prod write"}'
# On certifier:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-reporter cert-issued '{"cert_id":"CERT-315","agent":"data-proc-1","scope":"prod-write"}'

Dependencies

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