Usage Pattern
Pattern 1: Load skill for general ADB knowledge
Skill("moai-domain-adb")
Pattern 2: Load specific module for targeted expertise
In agent prompt: "Use moai-domain-adb:adb-fundamentals for device operations"
Pattern 3: Reference UV script for automated tasks
Command: uv run .claude/skills/moai-domain-adb/scripts/adb_device_analyzer.py --device emulator-5554
Integration Points
With Agents:
-
adb-bot-runner : Executes bots using game-automation patterns
-
adb-device-manager : Manages devices using device-management expertise
-
adb-game-tester : Tests bots using computer-vision and game-automation
-
adb-config-manager : Validates configs using config-validator script
-
adb-workflow-orchestrator : Coordinates all agents using tauri-integration patterns
With Commands:
-
/adb:init → Uses adb-fundamentals + adb_device_analyzer
-
/adb:bot → Uses game-automation + adb_bot_generator
-
/adb:test → Uses computer-vision + adb_game_tester
-
/adb:deploy → Uses tauri-integration + adb_deployment_helper
With UV Scripts: All 7 scripts are self-contained (zero dependencies on each other), follow PEP 723, and implement dual output (human-readable + JSON).

🚀 Advanced Topics
Skill Composition Strategy
moai-domain-adb is designed for modular composition:
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 su 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:
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"
