Pilot Dns

Human-friendly naming with aliases and namespaces. Use this skill when: 1. Setting or changing an agent's hostname 2. Resolving human-readable names to node IDs 3. Managing naming conflicts or namespace collisions Do NOT use this skill when: - You need to discover agents by capability (use pilot-discover instead) - You need to manage trust (use pilot-trust instead) - You need actual DNS resolution (port 53 service is separate)

# Find other workers
pilotctl --json peers | jq -r '.peers[] | select(.hostname | startswith("ai-worker-")) | .hostname'

# Resolve specific worker
worker_id=$(pilotctl --json find "ai-worker-02" | jq -r '.node_id')

# Connect using hostname
pilotctl --json connect "ai-worker-02" 7 --message "Hello"
