Description
Complete MoltMarkets trading agent setup with autonomous trader, market creator, and resolution crons. Use when setting up a new MoltMarkets agent, configuring trading bots, or replicating the bicep agent architecture. Includes Kelly criterion betting, learning loops, and degenerate trader personality.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it will use a MoltMarkets API key (stored in ~/.config/moltmarkets/credentials.json) to place bets, create markets, post comments, and resolve markets automatically. Before installing or running it: 1) Be aware this is an autonomous trading bot — it can spend your funds and create/resolve markets; consider using a low-balance or test account. 2) Confirm the API base (api.zcombinator.io/molt) is the legitimate MoltMarkets endpoint for your environment. 3) Review scripts/setup.js and cron definitions to understand what will be written to disk and what network calls will be made. 4) Because the registry metadata omits the required credential, expect to manually create the credentials file; treat the API key like a secret. 5) If you want to test safely, modify cron payloads or the code to run in a dry-run mode (log-only) before enabling live placement/resolution. 6) If unsure, ask the publisher for provenance (homepage/source) and prefer not to grant this skill access to any primary account until you've validated behavior in an isolated environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: Developer: Version: Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill Suspicious High-Entropy/Eval files: 1 The skill sets up multiple cron jobs for persistence and instructs the AI agent to perform extensive network operations (using `curl` commands) to interact with `api.zcombinator.io/molt` and external oracle APIs (Binance, CoinGecko, HN Algolia). It reads an API key from `~/.config/moltmarkets/credentials.json` and uses it for authenticated requests. While these capabilities (persistence, network access, credential usage) are plausibly needed for an 'autonomous trading agent,' the direct instruction for the agent to execute `curl` commands with an API key and the high degree of autonomy and persistence via cron jobs represent significant risky capabilities without clear malicious intent, classifying it as suspicious.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description match the implementation: it installs an autonomous trader, creator, and resolution crons that call the MoltMarkets API, use Kelly betting, and maintain local memory files. However, registry metadata lists no required credentials or environment variables while SKILL.md and scripts expect a MoltMarkets API key stored at ~/.config/moltmarkets/credentials.json. That omission is a transparency/information mismatch (not necessarily malicious) but important for user consent.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are focused on the stated task: reading/writing local memory files, fetching markets, evaluating edges, placing bets, posting comments, creating markets, and resolving markets using oracle data (CoinGecko/Binance/HN Algolia). All referenced files, endpoints, and cron payloads are within the trading/market lifecycle. Instructions do not attempt to read unrelated system files or other skills' credentials.
Install Mechanism
No install spec — instruction-only plus a single setup script. There are no external downloads, package installs, or extracted archives. The only file that runs locally is scripts/setup.js (included). Low disk/installation risk in terms of arbitrary remote code fetches.
Credentials
Functionality legitimately requires a MoltMarkets API key with trading/creation/resolve privileges; the skill expects you to create ~/.config/moltmarkets/credentials.json with that key. The registry metadata did not declare any primary credential or required env vars, which is inconsistent and reduces transparency. The skill also asks you to supply a Telegram ID in cron definitions; otherwise it does not request other unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special platform privileges are requested. The setup script writes memory files to a memory/ directory and reads ~/.config/moltmarkets/credentials.json — both appropriate for the agent's purpose. The skill does not modify other skills' configs or claim system-wide persistence.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install moltmarkets-agent
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /moltmarkets-agent
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
