What This Skill Does

The LuckyLobster skill enables your OpenClaw agent to interface directly with Polymarket, the world's leading decentralized prediction market. By acting as a bridge between the agent and the LuckyLobster trading API, this skill allows users to research real-world event outcomes, monitor market trends, and execute trades without leaving the OpenClaw environment. Whether you are tracking geopolitical events, sports results, or economic indicators, LuckyLobster provides the infrastructure to manage positions, place limit or market orders, and settle successful bets upon market resolution.

Installation

To integrate LuckyLobster, use the clawhub interface:

1. Run clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/rachelbastian/luckylobster in your terminal.
2. Initiate the device authorization flow via your agent to obtain a secure API key.
3. Complete the authentication by visiting the provided verification URI and entering your unique user code.
4. Once authorized, save your LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY using the recommended gateway.config.patch method to ensure your session persists across agent restarts.

Use Cases

• Market Research & Sentiment Analysis: Query active markets to identify what the market currently predicts regarding specific global events.
• Automated Portfolio Hedging: Use agents to balance risks by buying or selling shares based on predefined portfolio triggers or external news alerts.
• Event-Driven Trading: Automatically react to breaking news by placing orders on relevant outcome contracts before broader market adjustments occur.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current sentiment for the upcoming US elections; what is the cost of 'Yes' shares?"
2. "Buy 50 shares of 'Outcome A' for the market titled 'Will it rain in London tomorrow' at the current market price."
3. "List all my open positions and current profit/loss status on Polymarket."

Tips & Limitations

• Risk Warning: Polymarket involves real financial capital. Always verify market IDs before placing orders, as prediction markets are volatile and can lead to a 100% loss of investment.
• API Limits: Observe standard rate limits when polling for authorization or refreshing market data to ensure consistent agent performance.
• Settlement: Always ensure your agent has the 'redeem' permission enabled so that it can automatically collect winnings when a market resolves in your favor.
