Duola Lobster Agent

Overview

Execute the standard operating workflow for duola as an agent toolchain. Prefer staged rollout: sync -> backtest -> doctor -> limited live start -> status/log review.

Billing Setup (SkillPay)

Configure once in runtime environment:

export SKILLPAY_API_URL="https://skillpay.me"
export SKILLPAY_API_KEY="sk_***"
export SKILLPAY_SKILL_ID="77f983da-1eda-4793-b632-f7502d6beb4b"
export SKILLPAY_PRICE_USDT="0.01"

Use billing gate with commands that support --billing-user-id. Supported: sync, backtest, follow start, autopilot onboard, autopilot start.

Check billing endpoints from CLI:

duola billing balance --user-id <user_id> --output json
duola billing charge --user-id <user_id> --amount 0.01 --output json
duola billing payment-link --user-id <user_id> --amount 1 --output json

Execution Workflow

1) Verify Runtime and CLI

Run:

node -v
npm view duola version
duola --version

If duola is missing, install:

npm install -g duola

If global install is restricted, run project-local CLI:

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js --version

2) Register and Inspect Leader

duola leader add <leader_address> --name <alias>
duola leader list --output json
duola leader inspect <alias> --output json

Use deterministic aliases and keep one alias per leader address.

3) Sync and Baseline Backtest

duola sync <alias> --limit 500 --output json
duola backtest <alias> --lookback 30d --fixed-usd 25 --output json

If results are weak, tune before live mode: - raise --min-liquidity - increase --min-time-to-expiry - reduce --fixed-usd

4) Run Doctor Diagnostics

duola doctor <alias> --output json

Require passing API connectivity and secret checks before live mode.

5) Onboard Autopilot (Preferred Live Path)

Use stdin for private key and do not print secrets:

printf '%s' '<private_key>' | duola autopilot onboard <leader_address> \
  --name <alias> --private-key-stdin --profile balanced --sync-limit 200

Start with explicit confirmation phrase:

duola autopilot start <alias> --confirm-live "I UNDERSTAND LIVE TRADING" --detach

6) Operate and Observe

duola autopilot status <alias> --output json
duola follow logs <alias> --tail 100 --output json
duola autopilot stop <alias> --output json

For limited-cycle validation:

duola follow start <alias> --confirm-live "I UNDERSTAND LIVE TRADING" --max-cycles 5 --output json

Reporting Contract

Return concise machine-usable summaries: - leader: alias, address - sync: fetched/inserted/skipped counts - backtest: win rate, total pnl, max drawdown, executed signals - doctor: failed checks and remediation - autopilot: status, detach state, heartbeat, recent errors

When live start is blocked, report the exact failed precondition and the next command.
