DuoPlus AI

Manage and automate DuoPlus cloud phones

Use one API key to manage the cloud-phone lifecycle and then operate the running Android device through /agent-command. Run scripts/duoplus_ai.py; do not rebuild raw HTTP requests unless diagnosing the client itself.

Obtain the API key

The API key is user-provided input. If the user has not supplied one in the current conversation, ask exactly one short question:

text

Please provide the API key for DuoPlus AI control.

Accept the key directly in the conversation. Do not tell the user to configure PowerShell, shell profiles, permanent environment variables, secret managers, or restart the AI application. If the user already supplied the key, do not ask again.

Pass the supplied key to each client invocation:

bash

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'USER_SUPPLIED_API_KEY' list --all

Use the key only for the requested task. Do not commit it or echo the full value back in normal output. Failure diagnostics automatically redact it. DUOPLUS_API_KEY remains supported for automated deployments, but it is optional and must never be imposed on an interactive user.

The client sends this key as DuoPlus-API-Key to the control API and as the Gateway Bearer token. The deployment must provision the same value as the device Gateway auth.

Use optional deployment overrides only if automatic routing cannot resolve legacy data:

bash

export DUOPLUS_REGION='<region-code>'
export DUOPLUS_CLOUD_IP='<private-cloud-ip>'

DUOPLUS_API_BASE defaults to the DuoPlus official global production API, https://openapi.duoplus.net. Mainland China production deployments can override it:

bash

# Production mainland China
export DUOPLUS_API_BASE='https://openapi.duoplus.cn'

HTTP Gateway requests use the fixed public endpoint https://agent-gateway.duoplus.net/agent-command. The client sends the resolved Region and CloudIP as headers; do not construct region-specific Gateway domains.

Execute the end-to-end workflow

1. Discover the target with list --all. Phones with http_status=1 are shown first and marked ai_control_supported=true. Select one of those by exact ID. If a name matches multiple phones, stop and ask which one.
2. Run ensure-ready IMAGE_ID. It powers on a stopped phone, polls official status until running, resolves Region and CloudIP, and waits for the HTTP Gateway executor.
3. Run ui-state IMAGE_ID --screenshot-out screen.png before the first action.
4. Execute one action at a time with action, then call ui-state again to verify the actual screen change.
5. Continue until every requested step is visibly complete. A screenshot is an observation, not task completion.
6. If this workflow powered on a phone that was initially stopped, record powered_on_by_client=true. Restore it with power-off --wait after the task unless the user asked to leave it running.

The official control API is limited to 1 QPS per endpoint. The client enforces pacing and retries transient failures.

Manage cloud phones

bash

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' list
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' list --all
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' list --name 'phone-name'
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' status IMAGE_ID
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' info IMAGE_ID
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' power-on IMAGE_ID --wait
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' power-off IMAGE_ID --wait
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' restart IMAGE_ID --wait
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' ensure-ready IMAGE_ID

Treat power-off, restart, and proxy changes as state-changing operations. Perform them only when explicitly requested or when restoring the initial stopped state after this skill powered the phone on. Power-on can start billable temporary compute; always track whether the skill started it.

Before power-on, inspect http_status. Value 1 supports AI HTTP control; value 0 does not. The client blocks power-on by default for unsupported phones and reports This cloud phone does not support AI cloud-phone automation. If the user explicitly wants only lifecycle power-on without AI automation, use power-on IMAGE_ID --allow-no-ai; do not continue to Gateway actions afterward.

Read references/control-api.md when handling lifecycle, routing, proxy configuration, status failures, or regional deployments.

Configure a proxy

Prefer an existing proxy ID:

bash

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' proxy-list --status 1
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' init-proxy IMAGE_ID --proxy-id PROXY_ID

Or initialize from explicit connection data:

bash

export DUOPLUS_PROXY_PASSWORD='...'
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' init-proxy IMAGE_ID \
  --host proxy.example.com --port 1080 --protocol socks5 --user account

Never infer proxy credentials, locale, SIM identity, GPS, device model, or region-sensitive parameters. Apply only values the user supplied or an existing proxy ID the user selected.

Observe and automate Android

Check the route and executor before debugging UI actions:

bash

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' route IMAGE_ID
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' health IMAGE_ID
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' ready IMAGE_ID
python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' ui-state IMAGE_ID --screenshot-out screen.png

Execute actions with JSON parameters:

bash

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' action IMAGE_ID OPEN_APP \
  --params '{"package_name":"com.android.settings","wait_after":800}'

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' action IMAGE_ID CLICK_ELEMENT \
  --params '{"text":"Search","wait_after":500}'

python3 scripts/duoplus_ai.py --api-key 'API_KEY' action IMAGE_ID INPUT_CONTENT \
  --params '{"content":"ads","clear_first":true}'

Read references/automation-actions.md before using an unfamiliar action or coordinate-based interaction.

Apply automation rules

• Read the current UI before acting and verify it after every state-changing action.
• Prefer CLICK_ELEMENT using resource_id, text, or content_desc. Use coordinates only when the accessibility tree cannot identify the target, especially in WebView/canvas content.
• Treat coordinates as relative 0..1000, from top-left (0,0) to bottom-right (1000,1000). Click the visual center of a verified target.
• Focus an input with CLICK_ELEMENT or CLICK_COORDINATE before INPUT_CONTENT. Submit with KEYBOARD_OPERATION and {"key":"enter"} when required.
• Add wait_after of roughly 500–1500 ms to actions that navigate or load content, then inspect again.
• Retry the same strategy at most three times. If the screen does not change, switch selector/coordinate/navigation strategy instead of repeating blindly.
• Limit search swipes to three unless the user explicitly requested exhaustive scrolling. Vary swipe coordinates slightly between attempts.
• Do exactly the requested task. Do not open unrelated apps, change unrelated settings, or continue after the requested outcome is verified.
• Do not report success from HTTP 200 alone. Require outer state=SUCCEEDED, inner success=true, and the expected post-action UI state.
• On a long-running or stuck command, use stop IMAGE_ID TASK_ID. Do not use END_TASK for normal completion.
• If Gateway returns 401, fail fast and report an API-key/device-auth provisioning mismatch. Do not ask for or expose the device auth unless maintaining a legacy deployment.

Handle failures

• Status 0: configure a proxy before power-on.
• http_status=0: the phone does not support AI HTTP control. Select a supported phone; do not call Gateway operations.
• Status 3 or 4: the phone is expired; stop and report renewal is required.
• Status 12: proxy/device configuration failed; inspect info and correct configuration.
• Status 10 or 11: poll; do not submit UI commands yet.
• Gateway 503/NOT_READY: keep polling ready within the startup timeout.
• Gateway 401: do not retry; the supplied API key does not match the Gateway credential contract.
• Ambiguous target, CAPTCHA, payment, account recovery, or destructive confirmation: pause for the user's decision.
