Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements what it claims: trading Polymarket 5-minute interval gap fills using the Simmer SDK. Before installing, confirm you trust the Simmer runtime and the SIMMER_API_KEY you supply (it grants trading authority). Default behavior is paper trading; real trades require explicitly running with --live. If you want to avoid accidental live trades, do not grant autonomous invocation to agents that could call this skill, or keep the API key restricted/revocable and use strict tunable limits (small MAX_POSITION, higher MIN_VOLUME). Review the trader.py code yourself if you want to verify network endpoints and logging behavior, and only provide the API key to environments you trust.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-candle-gap-fill-trader
Version: 0.0.3
The skill is a legitimate trading bot for Polymarket crypto interval markets, implementing a mean-reversion strategy based on price gaps. The code in trader.py is well-structured, follows the stated logic in SKILL.md, and includes safety features such as defaulting to paper trading (venue='sim') unless a live flag is explicitly provided. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection; it interacts solely with the expected simmer-sdk and environment variables defined in clawhub.json.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the implementation: trader.py implements discovery of Polymarket 5-minute interval markets, gap detection, conviction sizing, and trade execution via the Simmer SDK. Required dependency (simmer-sdk) and required environment variable (SIMMER_API_KEY) are proportional to the stated trading purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to discover markets, detect gaps, and trade; it documents paper-vs-live modes and required credential. The instructions do not request or read unrelated system files or credentials and explicitly default to paper trading. No vague, broad data-collection steps are present.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with a code file and a pip dependency (simmer-sdk) declared in clawhub.json. No external URL downloads, extract steps, or obscure installers are used. Using pip for an SDK is expected for this purpose.
Credentials
Only SIMMER_API_KEY is required (declared in clawhub.json and SKILL.md). Tunables are exposed via environment variables but are configuration, not secrets. The single credential requested is appropriate for a trading skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled (always:false) and autostart is false. However, it can be invoked autonomously by the agent (default model invocation is allowed). Because the skill can execute real trades when run with --live, consider limiting autonomous invocation or ensuring policy safeguards to prevent unintended live trading.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-candle-gap-fill-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-candle-gap-fill-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output

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

Fix apply_skill_config AttributeError for new Simmer SDK compatibility
v1.0.0
Initial release of the Candle Gap Fill Trader for Polymarket crypto interval markets:
- Detects and trades reversion on structural price gaps between consecutive 5-minute interval markets for BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP.
- Implements conviction-based position sizing, scaling trades by gap magnitude.
- Includes tunable risk controls for sizing, volume, spread, and thresholds, all adjustable via Simmer UI.
- Defaults to safe paper trading mode; requires explicit --live flag for real trades.
- Handles all market discovery, gap detection, trade execution, and operational safeguards out-of-the-box.
