🚀 Advanced Topics
Skill Composition Strategy
moai-domain-adb is designed for modular composition:
python
# Example 1: Simple device check
# Required: adb-fundamentals
agent = Task(
subagent_type="expert-backend",
prompt="Use moai-domain-adb:adb-fundamentals to list ADB devices"
)
# Example 2: Multi-device bot deployment
# Required: device-management + game-automation + tauri-integration
agent = Task(
subagent_type="adb-workflow-orchestrator",
prompt="Deploy game bot to 3 devices"
)
# Example 3: Vision-based testing
# Required: computer-vision + game-automation
agent = Task(
subagent_type="adb-game-tester",
prompt="Test bot with computer vision verification"
)
Performance Optimization
Device Batching:
- Group commands by device to reduce round-trip latency
- Use
adb_performance_profiler.py
to identify bottlenecks
- Target: Execute 100 actions in <5 seconds
Caching Strategies:
- Cache device properties (refreshed every 60s)
- Cache template images (refreshed on detection failure)
- Cache bot configurations (invalidated on user edit)
Concurrency:
- Run multi-device operations with ThreadPoolExecutor
- Limit to 5 concurrent ADB operations per host
- Use queuing for >5 devices
Security Considerations
Authentication:
- ADB uses RSA key exchange; validate device certificates
- Never store unencrypted device pairing keys
- Rotate pairing keys quarterly for production devices
Permissions:
- Request minimal shell commands (avoid unless necessary)
- Use app-specific commands instead of root access
- Audit bot actions for unintended side effects
Data Protection:
- Never capture sensitive data in screenshots
- Encrypt stored configurations containing API keys
- Use secure storage for game credentials
Debugging & Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
| Issue | Diagnosis | Solution |
|---|
| Device not found | adb_device_analyzer.py --check-connection
| Verify USB connection, check ADB daemon |
| Slow bot execution | adb_performance_profiler.py --device <id>
| Reduce click delays, batch operations |
| Template matching fails | Check image DPI/resolution | Run adb_template_creator.py --device <id>
|
| OCR accuracy poor | Preprocess image (contrast, threshold) | See computer-vision module for tips |
| Tauri communication lag | Check Python process CPU | Reduce log verbosity, optimize render loop |
Debug Mode:
bash
# Enable verbose logging
export ADB_DEBUG=1
uv run .claude/skills/moai-domain-adb/scripts/adb_device_analyzer.py --verbose
# Trace ADB commands
adb logcat | grep "adb_bot_runner"
Testing Strategy (TRUST 5 Framework)
Test Coverage Target: ≥85%
- Unit Tests: Individual module functions (py.test)
- Integration Tests: Module interactions (device mock)
- E2E Tests: Full workflow with real devices (optional)
- Performance Tests: Execution time benchmarks
- Security Tests: Input validation, permission checks
Test Execution:
bash
# Run all tests
pytest tests/ -v --cov=.claude/skills/moai-domain-adb
# Run specific module tests
pytest tests/test_device_management.py -v
# Profile performance
pytest tests/ --benchmark-only
