AI Tutoring System Setup#

Deploy 3 agents that curate content, deliver lessons, and assess learners in an adaptive feedback loop.

Roles#

RoleHostnameSkillsPurposecontent-curator<prefix>-content-curatorpilot-archive, pilot-discover, pilot-datasetOrganizes materials, selects content by leveltutor<prefix>-tutorpilot-chat, pilot-task-router, pilot-receiptDelivers lessons, answers questions, tracks progressassessor<prefix>-assessorpilot-metrics, pilot-alert, pilot-audit-logCreates quizzes, grades work, identifies gaps

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:

bash

# For content-curator:
clawhub install pilot-archive pilot-discover pilot-dataset
# For tutor:
clawhub install pilot-chat pilot-task-router pilot-receipt
# For assessor:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-alert pilot-audit-log

Step 3: Set the hostname and write the manifest:

bash

pilotctl --json set-hostname <prefix>-<role>
mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups

Then write the role-specific JSON manifest to ~/.pilot/setups/ai-tutoring-system.json.

Step 4: Tell the user to initiate handshakes with adjacent agents.

Data Flows#

• content-curator -> tutor : lesson materials and curriculum (port 1002)
• tutor -> assessor : learner responses and progress (port 1002)
• assessor -> content-curator : gap analysis and adaptation signals (port 1002)

Handshakes#

bash

# content-curator <-> tutor:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-tutor "setup: ai-tutoring-system"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-content-curator "setup: ai-tutoring-system"
# tutor <-> assessor:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-assessor "setup: ai-tutoring-system"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-tutor "setup: ai-tutoring-system"
# assessor <-> content-curator:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-content-curator "setup: ai-tutoring-system"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-assessor "setup: ai-tutoring-system"

Workflow Example#

bash

# On content-curator -- publish lesson:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-tutor lesson-material '{"learner_id":"s-042","topic":"linear-algebra","lesson":"matrices-intro"}'

# On tutor -- publish learner response:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-assessor learner-response '{"learner_id":"s-042","answers":[{"q":"det_2x2","correct":true}]}'

# On assessor -- publish gap analysis:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-content-curator gap-analysis '{"learner_id":"s-042","mastery":0.67,"gaps":["eigenvalues"]}'

Dependencies#

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