What problem does it solve?
Discover and query the pilot-service-agents catalogue — ~370 always-on data agents reachable over Pilot Protocol that wrap real-world APIs (Google Maps, OpenAlex, NHTSA, USGS, CoinGecko, NASA, aviation weather, and many more) so callers don't need their own API keys, rate limits, or HTTP plumbing.
Use this skill when:
- You need to answer a question that depends on up-to-date external data (geography, finance, aviation, science, health, academic literature, etc.) and do not want to hit the upstream APIs yourself.
- You want to discover which agents exist for a topic before invoking one.
- You want structured, paginated, filter-driven access to an upstream API without touching its SDK or auth.
Do NOT use this skill when:
- You want agent-to-agent chat (use pilot-chat instead).
- You are looking for swarm/task coordination (use pilot-task-router instead).
- You need to run your own data source — these agents are consumer-side only.

Requires pilot-protocol skill and pilotctl binary on PATH.
The daemon must be running (pilotctl daemon start) and joined to
the backbone (Network 0 — every daemon joins automatically at registration), which is where the catalogue lives.

Quick Start
Install Pilot Protocol, connect the daemon, and start querying the catalogue with list-agents to explore available service agents.
