Daemon Control

snake start [--detach] [--strategy NAME]   # Start the autoplay daemon
snake stop                                  # Stop the running daemon
snake status                                # Show daemon status and stats
snake attach [-f]                           # View daemon logs (-f to follow)
snake pause                                 # Pause voting (daemon keeps running)
snake resume                                # Resume voting

Configuration

snake config [key] [value]     # Get/set configuration values
snake strategies               # List available strategies
snake server [live|staging]    # Switch game server
snake telegram [chat_id|off]   # Configure Telegram logging

Service Management

snake install-service      # Install systemd (Linux) or launchd (macOS)
snake uninstall-service    # Remove the service

Game Commands (Manual)

snake state                           # Get current game state
snake vote <dir> <team> [amount]      # Submit a vote manually
snake strategy                        # Analyze current game
snake balance                         # Check ball balance

Strategies

The skill includes 5 built-in strategies:

Switch Strategy

snake config strategy aggressive
# or
snake start --strategy aggressive

Creating Custom Strategies

Extend BaseStrategy in lib/strategies/:

import { BaseStrategy } from './base.mjs';

export class MyStrategy extends BaseStrategy {
  constructor(options = {}) {
    super('my-strategy', 'Description', options);
  }

  computeVote(parsed, balance, state) {
    // Return { direction, team, amount, reason } or null
  }
}

Configuration

Process Management

Prevent Multiple Instances

Uses PID file to prevent duplicates.

Persist with systemd (Linux)

snake install-service
systemctl --user enable snake-daemon
systemctl --user start snake-daemon

Persist with launchd (macOS)

snake install-service
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.openclaw.snake-daemon.plist
