What This Skill Does

LuckyLobster enables the OpenClaw AI agent to interact directly with the Polymarket prediction market platform. By utilizing the LuckyLobster API, your agent can retrieve real-time market data, identify opportunities, and execute trades without requiring manual intervention. This skill is designed to manage the full lifecycle of a prediction market position, from initial market research and order placement to managing active positions and finalizing settlements when a market resolves.

Installation

To integrate LuckyLobster into your agent, use the OpenClaw hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/rachelbastian/luckylobster-skill

After installation, the agent will guide you through the device authorization flow. You will be provided with a link to authenticate your account. Once authorization is complete, the agent will securely store your API key in the gateway configuration, ensuring that subsequent sessions are authenticated automatically. Always ensure your environment is configured for secure credential storage.

Use Cases

• Automated Research: Monitor specific real-world event categories (like elections, weather, or economic indicators) and present summary sentiment based on current market prices.
• Portfolio Management: Automatically balance your exposure across multiple related markets or exit positions once a specific price threshold is met.
• Event Arbitrage: Query multiple outcome prices to identify potentially undervalued positions that align with the agent's analytical models.
• Portfolio Reporting: Generate summaries of current holdings, total profits, and unresolved positions to keep the user updated on their market performance.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current sentiment for the upcoming presidential election and buy $50 worth of shares for the leading candidate if the price is below $0.60."
2. "List all my open positions in the technology category and tell me which ones are currently profitable."
3. "Sell all my shares in the 'Rain in London' market and provide a summary of the final realized gain or loss."

Tips & Limitations

• Market Volatility: Prediction markets are highly volatile. Ensure your agent is configured with strict financial boundaries or stop-loss logic.
• Resolution Times: Markets take time to resolve. Your agent should be tasked to check statuses periodically rather than expecting instant feedback for every trade.
• API Limits: Observe standard rate limits when polling for market updates to maintain stable connectivity.
• Permissioning: The skill operates using the 'read', 'trade', 'cancel', and 'redeem' permissions. Ensure the linked account has the necessary USDC funds available for the trade sizes you intend to execute.
