Search, analyze, and trade on Manifold Markets prediction markets by checking odds, placing bets, viewing portfolios, and managing positions with API-based c...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: manage and trade on Manifold using your MANIFOLD_API_KEY. Before installing or running it, confirm you trust the skill source and provide only your Manifold API key (do not reuse high-privilege keys). Note the script will try to auto-load a data/.env file next to the code and inject those values into the environment — ensure no sensitive secrets are packaged there. Also make sure python3 and the 'requests' package are available in the runtime. When placing bets, follow the SKILL.md advice to use --dry-run first to confirm behavior before committing real funds.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: silk-manifold
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as suspicious due to the `scripts/manifold.py` attempting to load environment variables from a `data/.env` file using `os.environ.setdefault`. While `setdefault` prevents overriding existing environment variables (like the `MANIFOLD_API_KEY` provided by the agent), it could still load other arbitrary environment variables if a malicious `.env` file were present in the skill bundle or introduced via a supply chain attack. All other aspects, including the `SKILL.md` instructions and network calls to `api.manifold.markets`, appear benign and aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required binary (python3), and required env var (MANIFOLD_API_KEY) match the code's behaviour (calls to api.manifold.markets for querying and trading). The CLI commands implemented correspond to the documented functionality.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included Python CLI and documents the available commands. The code does auto-load a data/.env file located relative to the script (parent parent/data/.env) and merges any key/value pairs into os.environ, which SKILL.md does not mention; this could surface additional environment variables if the packaged data/.env exists. Otherwise the instructions and script only call Manifold's API and print JSON.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), which minimizes install risk. The script declares a dependency on 'requests' in a comment but doesn't install it; users must ensure python3 and requests are available in the runtime. No network downloads or external installers are used by the skill itself.
Credentials
Only MANIFOLD_API_KEY is required and set as the primary credential, which is appropriate. The script's behavior of loading a local data/.env can introduce additional environment variables if that file exists; those are not declared in requires.env and could include secrets if packaged inadvertently.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent or elevated platform privileges; always is false and it does not modify other skills or global agent config. It only reads environment and calls the Manifold API.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install silk-manifold - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/silk-manifold - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
