Polymarket Research
Get a structured research snapshot for any Polymarket topic. Returns market probabilities, volume across time windows, and the top holders (largest positions) per outcome. Read-only — no trades, no wallet needed.
This is a template. The default output is a research snapshot — remix it to feed into your own trading logic, dashboard, or analysis pipeline. The skill handles market discovery and data retrieval. Your agent decides what to do with the signal.

Troubleshooting
- No markets found: try broader search terms or lower
--min-volume - No top holders: market may be new or have low participation; the holders endpoint returns empty for very new markets
- Timeout on holders: the Polymarket data API is occasionally slow; the skill retries once with a 10s timeout
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-research - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-research - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
