Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims, but take these precautions before enabling live trading: 1) Keep the skill in paper mode (default) and thoroughly backtest signals before using --live; 2) The skill pulls a leaderboard from https://predicting.top (a third‑party service). Verify the source's trustworthiness — a manipulated leaderboard could create false signals; consider switching to an official leaderboard if available; 3) Provide SIMMER_API_KEY only when you understand what account/funds it controls; prefer keys/accounts with limited funds and the minimal permissions needed; 4) Review and run the included trader.py locally to confirm behavior (it is readable and not obfuscated); 5) Be aware that algorithmic trading has financial risk — limiting MAX_POSITION, MAX_POSITIONS, and using conservative tunables is advisable. If you want higher assurance, request the maintainer/source for provenance or replace the leaderboard endpoint with a vetted data source.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-whale-contrarian-trader
Version: 1.0.6
The skill is a legitimate trading bot designed to follow 'whale' activity on Polymarket. It uses the official Polymarket data API and a known leaderboard site (predicting.top) to identify contrarian signals. The code in trader.py is transparent, lacks obfuscation, and implements standard safety guards like paper-trading by default and slippage checks. No evidence of data exfiltration or malicious execution was found.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, clawhub.json, and trader.py consistently implement a Polymarket whale-contrarian trading strategy. The single required credential (SIMMER_API_KEY) and the declared pip dependency (simmer-sdk) are appropriate for placing trades via the SimmerClient.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and code limit themselves to fetching public leaderboard and Polymarket data, cross-referencing markets, and placing trades via SimmerClient. One notable detail: the leaderboard is fetched from a third-party URL (https://predicting.top) rather than an official Polymarket leaderboard — this is functional but introduces a trust dependency (see guidance). The skill respects paper mode by default unless explicitly run with a --live flag.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in the repository files, but clawhub.json declares a pip dependency on 'simmer-sdk' which is consistent with the code's import. Installing a single known pip package is expected for this skill.
Credentials
Only SIMMER_API_KEY and tunable env vars are required. SIMMER_API_KEY is justified because the skill uses SimmerClient to simulate or execute trades. No unrelated credentials or config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autostart is false in metadata; the skill is user-invocable and can run autonomously (default platform behavior) but it does not request elevated/always-enabled presence or attempt to modify other skills. It only applies its own skill config when available.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-whale-contrarian-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-whale-contrarian-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
