Real Estate Analyzer Setup

Deploy 4 agents that scrape listings, calculate valuations, generate CMA reports, and alert investors to deals.

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:

# scraper:
clawhub install pilot-stream-data pilot-cron pilot-archive
# analyzer:
clawhub install pilot-metrics pilot-dataset pilot-task-router
# comparator:
clawhub install pilot-event-filter pilot-share pilot-review
# notifier:
clawhub install pilot-alert pilot-slack-bridge pilot-webhook-bridge

Step 3: Set the hostname:

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

Step 4: Write the setup manifest:

mkdir -p ~/.pilot/setups
cat > ~/.pilot/setups/real-estate-analyzer.json << 'MANIFEST'
{
  "setup": "real-estate-analyzer",
  "setup_name": "Real Estate Analyzer",
  "role": "<ROLE_ID>",
  "role_name": "<ROLE_NAME>",
  "hostname": "<prefix>-<role>",
  "description": "<ROLE_DESCRIPTION>",
  "skills": { "<skill>": "<contextual description>" },
  "peers": [ { "role": "...", "hostname": "...", "description": "..." } ],
  "data_flows": [ { "direction": "send|receive", "peer": "...", "port": 1002, "topic": "...", "description": "..." } ],
  "handshakes_needed": [ "<peer-hostname>" ]
}
MANIFEST

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

Data Flows

• scraper -> analyzer : new-listing events (port 1002)
• analyzer -> comparator : valuation-request events (port 1002)
• comparator -> notifier : deal-score events (port 1002)
• notifier -> external : deal-alert notifications (port 443)

Handshakes

# scraper <-> analyzer:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-analyzer "setup: real-estate-analyzer"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-scraper "setup: real-estate-analyzer"

# analyzer <-> comparator:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-comparator "setup: real-estate-analyzer"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-analyzer "setup: real-estate-analyzer"

# comparator <-> notifier:
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-notifier "setup: real-estate-analyzer"
pilotctl --json handshake <prefix>-comparator "setup: real-estate-analyzer"

Workflow Example

# On analyzer — subscribe to new listings:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-scraper new-listing

# On scraper — publish a new listing:
pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-analyzer new-listing '{"mls_id":"MLS-78432","address":"1425 Oak Valley Dr","price":485000,"sqft":2200,"beds":4}'

# On comparator — subscribe to valuation requests:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-analyzer valuation-request

# On notifier — subscribe to deal scores:
pilotctl --json subscribe <prefix>-comparator deal-score
