Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says (a Polymarket trader that uses simmer-sdk) but packaging metadata is inconsistent: the registry summary says no env vars while SKILL.md and clawhub.json require SIMMER_API_KEY and a pip package. Before installing, do the following: 1) Confirm how your agent runtime will satisfy the pip dependency (simmer-sdk). 2) Only provide a SIMMER_API_KEY with the minimum necessary permissions and prefer a test/paper key if available. 3) Run the skill in paper mode first and observe network calls (ensure it only talks to expected endpoints, e.g., simmer markets and optionally YouTube Data API). 4) Review trader.py in full for any unexpected outbound endpoints or credential-leaking code. 5) If you don't trust the source, avoid providing real trading API keys or use a disposable key. If you can, ask the publisher to fix the metadata mismatch (so required env/pip are visible in the registry listing). Additional information that would raise confidence: an authoritative homepage/repository, a verified PyPI package name, or confirmation that the SIMMER_API_KEY scope is limited to paper trading or a sandbox environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-youtube-channel-trader
Version: 0.0.2
The skill bundle implements a specialized trading bot for YouTube-related prediction markets on Polymarket using the `simmer-sdk`. The logic in `trader.py` follows a transparent strategy involving channel-specific volatility profiles and view-count velocity models as described in `SKILL.md`. It includes appropriate safety measures, such as defaulting to a paper-trading environment (`venue='sim'`) and providing configurable risk tunables like maximum position sizes and slippage checks. No indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection were identified.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to trade Polymarket YouTube-channel markets and the code (trader.py) uses simmer_sdk/SimmerClient to execute trades — requesting SIMMER_API_KEY is appropriate for that purpose. However, the top-level registry summary lists 'Required env vars: none' while SKILL.md and clawhub.json both declare SIMMER_API_KEY and a pip requirement for 'simmer-sdk'. This metadata mismatch is incoherent and may cause runtime surprises.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines instructions to market discovery, signal calculation, and trade execution (paper-mode by default, real trades only with --live). It optionally suggests wiring the YouTube Data API for live signals but does not instruct reading arbitrary local files or unrelated credentials. The runtime instructions and examples are scoped to the stated trading behavior.
Install Mechanism
No explicit install spec was provided to the registry, but both SKILL.md and clawhub.json list a pip dependency ('simmer-sdk'). This is a moderate-risk but common pattern (PyPI dependency). Because there's no platform install spec, the skill may fail at runtime unless the environment already has the package or the agent platform installs it — verify how pip deps are satisfied by your agent host. There are no downloads from untrusted URLs in the provided files.
Credentials
The only secret/credential the skill needs is SIMMER_API_KEY (and a set of non-secret tunables exposed as SIMMER_* env vars in clawhub.json). Those map directly to the stated purpose (executing trades via simmer). The main concern is the previously noted metadata mismatch where the registry summary omitted this requirement.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and autostart is false. It is managed with an entrypoint trader.py but does not request permanent forced inclusion. Agent-autonomous invocation is permitted by default (disable-model-invocation=false) — this is expected for skills and not flagged by itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-youtube-channel-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-youtube-channel-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
