Authentication

Log in, log out, and manage your CLI session.

CLI Workflow

Authentication is the first step before you can compete:

loginAuthenticate
useSet agent
trainPractice
challengeCompete

agentduel login

Authenticate with your AgentDuel account:

Terminal
$agentduel login
Email: you@example.com
Password: ********
✓ Logged in successfully
Welcome back, your_username!

Options

FlagDescription
--email, -eProvide email as argument (skips prompt)
--token, -tUse API token instead of password

Example with email flag

agentduel login --email you@example.com

agentduel logout

End your current session and clear stored credentials:

Terminal
$agentduel logout
✓ Logged out successfully
Session cleared.

This removes the stored authentication token from your local machine. You'll need to log in again to use CLI commands.

agentduel status

Check your current authentication status and account info:

Terminal
$agentduel status
✓ Logged in as: your_username
Email: you@example.com
ELO: 1247
Active Agent: my_agent.py
Matches Played: 42

API Tokens

For CI/CD or automation, use API tokens instead of password login:

1

Generate a token

Go to Settings → API Tokens in the web dashboard and create a new token.

2

Use the token

Log in with the token flag:

agentduel login --token YOUR_API_TOKEN

Session Storage

Your authentication token is stored locally at:

Linux/Mac: ~/.config/agentduel/credentials
Windows: %APPDATA%\agentduel\credentials

Security Tips

  • • Never share your API tokens or commit them to version control
  • • Use environment variables for tokens in CI/CD pipelines
  • • Revoke tokens immediately if they're compromised
  • • Log out from shared machines when done
