What This Skill Does

The Polymarket skill for OpenClaw provides a direct interface to real-time prediction market data. By leveraging the public Gamma API, this agent allows users to query current event probabilities, analyze trending markets, and monitor financial or political outcomes directly through chat. The skill is designed for informational purposes, enabling users to fetch market sentiment, price points (Yes/No odds), trading volume, and event expiration dates without navigating the web interface manually. It effectively turns your OpenClaw agent into a real-time analytics terminal for decentralized prediction markets.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-polymarket

Ensure that your environment has Python 3 installed, as the underlying scripts utilize standard execution patterns to interface with the Polymarket Gamma API. No additional API keys or wallet configurations are required for the read-only operations supported by this version.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for researchers, traders, and crypto enthusiasts who need fast access to event-driven data. It is particularly useful for tracking election outcomes, monitoring interest rate forecasts from the Federal Reserve, assessing sentiment on cryptocurrency price movements, and checking the odds of major sporting events. Because the data is delivered directly to the chat interface, it is perfect for users who want to stay informed about shifting probabilities without the overhead of browser-based dashboards.

Example Prompts

1. "What are the current odds for the winner of the 2028 US presidential election?"
2. "Show me the trending crypto markets on Polymarket today."
3. "Search for 'Bitcoin price' markets and tell me the current Yes/No prices."

Tips & Limitations

• Read-Only Access: This skill is strictly for data retrieval. You cannot place trades or interact with your Web3 wallet through this agent. Any automated trading requirements are out of scope.
• Data Accuracy: Always verify critical financial decisions by checking the official Polymarket website, as API data can occasionally lag behind the live front-end.
• Search Queries: When searching, use specific keywords related to event titles for better accuracy. Broad terms may return multiple unrelated markets.
