Usage Guidance
This skill is coherently a Simmer/Polymarket micro-trading bot and appears to do what it says, but take these precautions before enabling live trading: - Treat SIMMER_API_KEY as high-risk: only provide it after verifying the key's permissions and rotate it if shared. Prefer a key scoped to trading on a test/sim account while you evaluate. - Run the script in paper/sim mode first (default) and validate behavior, logging, and the exact tunable values you want. Note the documentation uses multiple different threshold values (8%, 15%, 80%, 85%) and clawhub.json sets YES_THRESHOLD default to 0.0 — verify the actual thresholds used at runtime. - Audit the simmer-sdk package (or run in an isolated environment) before installing, since pip packages run code at install/runtime and are the main external dependency here. - Confirm you understand the --live invocation and any automation you configure (cron/automaton in your environment), and monitor trades and logs closely when first enabling live mode. If you want higher assurance, ask the author for clarification on the threshold inconsistencies and for a pointer to the official simmer-sdk repository or package source (PyPI/GitHub) so you can review it before installing.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: polymarket-micro-spread-sniper-trader Version: 0.0.3 The skill bundle is a legitimate trading bot designed to scan Polymarket for specific market conditions (tight spreads and extreme probabilities) using the `simmer-sdk`. The logic in `trader.py` is transparent, well-documented, and strictly follows the strategy described in `SKILL.md`. It includes safety features such as a default simulation mode (paper trading) and configurable risk limits via `clawhub.json`. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection were identified.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name/description match the code: it scans markets and places micro-trades via a SimmerClient. Required credential (SIMMER_API_KEY) and the declared pip dependency (simmer-sdk) are appropriate for a connector that places trades on Simmer/Polymarket. There are no unrelated env vars or binaries requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and trader.py confine activity to market discovery, filtering, and order placement through the Simmer SDK; they default to paper trading and only go live with an explicit flag. However the documentation contains inconsistent threshold numbers (mentions 8%, 15%, 80%, 85% in different places) and the tunable defaults (e.g., YES_THRESHOLD=0.0 in clawhub.json) can disable/alter behavior unexpectedly — review tunables before running live.
Install Mechanism
No extract/downloads or external URLs; the manifest declares a pip dependency on 'simmer-sdk' which will be installed via pip. Installing third-party Python packages is a moderate-risk action; there are no suspicious or obfuscated install steps in the package files provided.
Credentials
Only SIMMER_API_KEY and a set of domain-specific SIMMER_* tunables are used. Requesting a single trading API key is proportionate to the stated purpose, but that key is high-value (can place real trades) and should be treated as sensitive.
Persistence & Privilege
autostart is false, cron is null and always is not set. The skill does not request forced/always-on privileges and does not modify other skills' configurations. It can be invoked autonomously (normal default) but it won't auto-run without user configuration.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install polymarket-micro-spread-sniper-trader
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /polymarket-micro-spread-sniper-trader
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.0.3
SDK resilience: try/except runt apply_skill_config
v0.0.2
fix: add _client.live=True so --live actually routes to polymarket-venue for real USDC trades
v1.0.6
Disable YES longshot mode (0% win rate). NO-only near-certainty trading.
v1.0.5
Optimize thresholds: YES 0.15->0.08, NO 0.85->0.80 — favor near-certainty trades over longshots for higher win rate
v1.0.4
Add get_fast_markets() and signal_data for backtest support
v1.0.3
Add get_fast_markets() for better 5-min market discovery
v1.0.2
Fix SKILL.md to match standard template structure — full consistency with trader.py and clawhub.json
v1.0.1
Fix metadata consistency between trader.py, clawhub.json and SKILL.md
