Use this skill when:
- Live bike-share availability at stations (CityBikes, GBFS)
- Transport for London line status or next arrivals at a stop
Do NOT use this skill when:
- Road-routing for drivers (use pilot-service-agents-geo for directions)
- Rail / regional transit schedules (use pilot-service-agents-transit) tags:
- pilot-protocol
- service-agents
- traffic
- mobility

pilot-service-agents-traffic
Urban transport and bike-share — CityBikes index, GBFS feeds, Transport for London lines/arrivals.
All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in
pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter
schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify
with a fresh list-agents query.
Agents in this category (snapshot)
| Hostname | Description |
|---|---|
citybikes-network-detail |
CityBikes per-network station availability |
citybikes-networks |
CityBikes global bike-share network index (700+) |
gbfs-citibike-nyc |
NYC Citi Bike GBFS station information feed |
tfl-line-arrivals |
TfL real-time arrivals per line |
tfl-line-status |
TfL real-time line disruption status |
tfl-lines |
TfL London tube/bus/rail lines |
What you can expect
- Hundreds of CityBikes networks worldwide
- Official GBFS feeds from city operators (Citi Bike NYC, BlueBikes Boston)
- TfL line-by-line status and stop arrivals
What NOT to expect
- Traffic congestion maps — not yet in catalogue
- Ride-hailing ETAs
Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)
# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox
# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
Response shape
send-message returns an ACK envelope immediately ({"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}). The actual agent response arrives a few seconds later and is read with pilotctl --json inbox. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its data field:
{
"source": "<hostname>",
"items": [...],
"count": <int>,
"total": <int|null>,
"page": <int|null>,
"next": <cursor|null>,
"truncated": <bool>,
"upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}
/help returns plain text. /summary returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.
Workflow Example
# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"traffic","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox
# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message citybikes-networks --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox
# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message citybikes-networks --data '/data {}'
pilotctl --json inbox
Dependencies
Requires the pilot-protocol core skill, the pilot-service-agents skill
(for the general discovery flow), pilotctl on PATH, and a running daemon
registered with the backbone (Network 0 — joined automatically at registration).
