polymarket-pro

What This Skill Does

The polymarket-pro skill provides a comprehensive bridge between the OpenClaw agent and the official Polymarket CLI. It allows for direct, granular interaction with prediction markets, enabling users to perform research, analyze order books, and execute trades on the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book). Unlike higher-level autonomous trading bots, this skill is designed for precise, intentional control, making it an essential tool for traders, analysts, and researchers who require programmatic access to on-chain market data and execution.

Installation

To integrate this skill, use the ClawHub CLI command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/liwagu/polymarket-pro. Ensure you have the official Polymarket CLI installed on your system via Homebrew (brew install polymarket) or the shell script provided in the documentation. After installation, configure your wallet by setting the POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable or by creating a config file at ~/.config/polymarket/config.json. Always run polymarket approve set to initialize the required smart contract allowances before attempting to trade.

Use Cases

1. Data Analysis: Agents can scan thousands of markets using JSON output, piping results to tools like jq to identify arbitrage opportunities or market sentiment shifts.
2. Portfolio Management: Automate the monitoring of your positions across multiple events, tracking gains and losses without manual intervention.
3. Market Research: Quickly filter markets by volume, tag, or active status to stay informed on breaking news topics such as political elections or cryptocurrency price movements.
4. Execution: Perform batch limit orders to manage liquidity, providing a professional-grade trading experience through simple natural language commands.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current midpoint price for the Bitcoin election odds and compare it against the latest trade volume."
2. "Search for all active political events related to the 2024 presidential race and list the top 5 by trading volume."
3. "Place a buy limit order for 100 shares of the 'Trump to win' outcome at a price of 0.52 USDC."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety: Since this tool manages financial assets, always verify the CLI output before confirming on-chain transactions.
• Gas Fees: Ensure your wallet is funded with sufficient MATIC for transaction fees, especially when setting approvals or executing high-frequency orders.
• Output Format: Utilize the -o json flag for all agent-based workflows to ensure data is easily parseable by the OpenClaw reasoning engine.
