Phase 2a: YOLO Detection Foundation Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Replace all OpenCV template-matching in bot/vision.py with a YOLOv11 model that detects every game element — buildings, defenses, hero pads, UI buttons, and screen state indicators — while keeping the existing public API unchanged so no callers need to change.
Architecture: A new bot/detector.py module wraps Ultralytics YOLO inference behind a clean Detector class with a predict(frame) → list[Detection] interface. bot/vision.py is rewritten to use this detector while keeping its public functions (find_button, detect_screen_state, get_troop_slots, find_popup, validate_critical_templates) identical in signature. Digit OCR (for loot/resource reading) stays unchanged — YOLO handles detection, template matching handles digit recognition.
Tech Stack: Ultralytics YOLOv11 (ultralytics>=8.3), HuggingFace datasets library for public CoC dataset, Roboflow (web UI, free tier) for manual labeling of UI classes, Python 3.13, pytest
File Structure
New files
bot/detector.py — Detection dataclass + Detector class wrapping YOLO inference
training/download_dataset.py — downloads keremberke/clash-of-clans-object-detection from HuggingFace, converts COCO→YOLOv11 format
training/train.py — fine-tunes YOLOv11n on a dataset YAML, copies best weights to models/coc.pt
training/capture_frames.py — saves screenshots + state metadata during live bot runs for building the UI class dataset
training/merge_datasets.py — merges public buildings dataset + manually labeled UI dataset into datasets/full/
models/.gitkeep — placeholder so the directory is committed (weights are gitignored)
tests/test_detector.py — unit tests for bot/detector.py
tests/test_vision_yolo.py — unit tests for rewritten bot/vision.py
Modified files
requirements.txt — add ultralytics>=8.3, datasets>=2.0
.gitignore — add models/*.pt, datasets/, runs/
bot/settings.py — add yolo_model_path, yolo_confidence_threshold defaults
bot/vision.py — full rewrite of internals (public API unchanged)
Task 1: Dependencies + .gitignore
Files:
opencv-python>=4.8.0
numpy>=1.20.0
pytesseract>=0.3.10
Pillow>=9.0.0
PySide6>=6.6.0,<6.11
packaging>=21.0
ultralytics>=8.3
datasets>=2.0
Append to .gitignore:
# YOLO model weights (large binaries — download/train locally)
models /* .pt
# Training datasets (downloaded/generated — do not commit)
datasets /
# Ultralytics training run outputs
runs /
.venv/bin/pip install ultralytics> =8.3 " datasets>=2.0"
Expected: installs ultralytics (pulls torch), datasets, huggingface-hub. Takes 1-3 minutes.
.venv/bin/python -c " from ultralytics import YOLO; print('ultralytics OK')"
Expected: ultralytics OK (may print version info).
mkdir -p models && touch models/.gitkeep
git add requirements.txt .gitignore models/.gitkeep
git commit -m " feat: add ultralytics + datasets dependencies for YOLO phase 2a"
Task 2: Settings — add YOLO keys
Files:
In the DEFAULTS dict, after the "stream_buffer_size": 60, line, add:
# YOLO detection model
"yolo_model_path" : "models/coc.pt" ,
"yolo_confidence_threshold" : 0.45 ,

hud_village
The village resource bar (top of village screen — gold + elixir HUD)
hud_scouting
The scouting HUD overlay (loot values visible in top-left)
hud_results
Stars/results screen overlay
hud_army
The army selection screen HUD
loot_gold

Steps:
Go to roboflow.com → Create free account
Create new project: "CoC-UI-Classes", type "Object Detection"
Upload all screenshots from datasets/captured/*.jpg
In Roboflow project settings → Classes, add each class from the table above.
Use Roboflow's annotation tool. Draw tight bounding boxes around each UI element.
Tips:
btn_attack appears on every village screenshot
btn_next_base appears on every scouting screenshot — label it in every scouting image
hud_results, btn_return_home appear together on results screens
For troop_slot, label each visible troop icon in the bottom bar (there will be 4-8 per battle screenshot)
Skip hud_village / hud_scouting / hud_army if they're ambiguous — prioritize the button classes
Step 4: Export in YOLOv11 format
In Roboflow: Generate → Export → Format: "YOLOv11" → Download ZIP.
Extract to datasets/labeled/:
mkdir -p datasets/labeled
unzip ~ /Downloads/CoC-UI-Classes.v1.yolov11.zip -d datasets/labeled/
Verify structure:
ls datasets/labeled/

Task 8: Merge datasets + train full model
Files:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Merge the public building dataset (16 classes) with the manually labeled
UI dataset (18 classes) into a unified dataset for the full model.
The public dataset uses class IDs 0-15.
The labeled dataset uses class IDs 0-17 (Roboflow resets to 0).
This script remaps labeled IDs → 16-33 so they don't conflict.

Task 9: Rewrite bot/vision.py internals
Files:
Modify: bot/vision.py (full rewrite — same public API, YOLO internals)
Test: tests/test_vision_yolo.py
The public API that must remain unchanged:
find_button(img, button_name) → tuple[int,int] | None
detect_screen_state(img) → GameState
read_enemy_loot(img) → tuple[int,int]
read_resources_from_village(img) → tuple[int,int]
get_deploy_corner(img) → list[tuple[int,int]]
get_troop_slots(img) → list[tuple[int,int]]
find_popup(img) → tuple[int,int] | None
validate_critical_templates() → None
auto_capture_template(img, button_name) → bool
Step 1: Write failing tests for the new vision.py API
Create tests/test_vision_yolo.py:

Phase 2a: YOLO Detection Foundation Implementation Plan
Goal: Replace all OpenCV template-matching in
bot/vision.pywith a YOLOv11 model that detects every game element — buildings, defenses, hero pads, UI buttons, and screen state indicators — while keeping the existing public API unchanged so no callers need to change.Architecture: A new
bot/detector.pymodule wraps Ultralytics YOLO inference behind a cleanDetectorclass with apredict(frame) → list[Detection]interface.bot/vision.pyis rewritten to use this detector while keeping its public functions (find_button,detect_screen_state,get_troop_slots,find_popup,validate_critical_templates) identical in signature. Digit OCR (for loot/resource reading) stays unchanged — YOLO handles detection, template matching handles digit recognition.Tech Stack: Ultralytics YOLOv11 (
ultralytics>=8.3), HuggingFacedatasetslibrary for public CoC dataset, Roboflow (web UI, free tier) for manual labeling of UI classes, Python 3.13, pytestFile Structure

Files: None (manual labeling step)
The public dataset covers buildings but has no UI buttons or screen state indicators. This task labels those classes on the captured screenshots.
Classes to label (18 new classes, on top of the 16 public building classes):
btn_attackbtn_find_matchbtn_start_battlebtn_next_basebtn_return_homebtn_end_battlebtn_confirmbtn_closebtn_okaybtn_laterhud_villagehud_scoutinghud_resultshud_armyloot_goldloot_elixirloot_gemtroop_slotSteps:
datasets/captured/*.jpgIn Roboflow project settings → Classes, add each class from the table above.
Use Roboflow's annotation tool. Draw tight bounding boxes around each UI element.
Tips:
btn_attackappears on every village screenshotbtn_next_baseappears on every scouting screenshot — label it in every scouting imagehud_results,btn_return_homeappear together on results screensFor
troop_slot, label each visible troop icon in the bottom bar (there will be 4-8 per battle screenshot)Skip
hud_village/hud_scouting/hud_armyif they're ambiguous — prioritize the button classesStep 4: Export in YOLOv11 format
