Description
Identifies which whale wallet consistently enters markets first before others follow. Copies the lead indicator whale's fresh positions before the herd pushe...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to implement the trading strategy it claims, but there are packaging/documentation inconsistencies you should resolve before use:
- The code requires a SIMMER_API_KEY (declared in clawhub.json) but your top-level metadata and SKILL.md omitted this. Do not provide your API key until you confirm you trust the Simmer platform and know what privileges that key grants (placing live trades, withdrawing funds, etc.).
- The package depends on 'simmer-sdk' (pip). Confirm the exact package source/version and audit it (PyPI project page, maintainers) before installing.
- Default behavior is paper-trading; explicitly enable --live to make real trades. Test thoroughly in paper mode and verify the skill's behavior and limits (MAX_POSITION, MAX_POSITIONS, MIN_TRADE) before enabling live trading.
- Review and confirm the external endpoints used (https://predicting.top and https://data-api.polymarket.com) are acceptable to you and that no unexpected endpoints are contacted.
- Because the manifest/instructions disagree, treat this as a documentation-quality issue: ask the publisher to update SKILL.md and registry metadata to list required credentials and install steps. If you cannot verify the source or the simmer-sdk package, consider running the skill in an isolated environment or declining installation.
If you want, I can enumerate the exact lines in trader.py that use SIMMER_API_KEY and the points where live trading is gated so you know precisely what to inspect or restrict.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-copy-early-mover-trader
Version: 1.0.5
The skill is a legitimate Polymarket copy-trading bot that identifies and follows 'lead indicator' whale wallets. The code in trader.py uses standard libraries and the simmer-sdk to fetch leaderboard data from predicting.top and trade activity from polymarket.com, implementing a clear strategy with built-in safety checks like paper trading by default and position limits.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name, description, and code align: it scrapes a leaderboard, fetches wallet activity from public Polymarket endpoints, scores early movers, and uses a SimmerClient to place trades. Requesting a Simmer API key and providing SIMMER_* tunables is coherent for a trading automation that executes orders.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and trader.py describe fetching public data (predicting.top and polymarket data-api), building timelines, validating signals, and executing trades. The instructions do not direct the agent to read unrelated files or exfiltrate data. However, SKILL.md (and the top-level metadata you provided) do not explicitly call out the required SIMMER_API_KEY even though the runtime code uses it — this is a documentation gap that affects expected runtime behavior.
Install Mechanism
The registry record you provided said 'no install spec', but clawhub.json declares a pip requirement on 'simmer-sdk'. There is a code file (trader.py) that depends on that package. The mismatch between 'instruction-only' and a declared pip dependency is an incoherence: the runtime will need 'simmer-sdk' installed but the top-level install description omitted that. The pip dependency itself is a standard, moderate-risk installation vector (traceable via PyPI), but the omission is a packaging/documentation problem.
Credentials
clawhub.json requires SIMMER_API_KEY and trader.py uses os.environ['SIMMER_API_KEY'] to create a SimmerClient (which can place trades). The SKILL.md lists many SIMMER_* tunables but the top-level metadata you supplied reported no required env vars — that is inconsistent. Requiring one platform API key to execute trades is proportionate for this skill, but the missing declaration and the direct use of the key (KeyError if absent) are problematic from an install/expectation standpoint. There are no other unrelated credentials requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request global 'always: true' privilege and clawhub.json sets autostart to false. It can run autonomously (normal default), but it does not appear to modify other skills or system-wide settings. The SimmerClient.apply_skill_config call is guarded and optional.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-copy-early-mover-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-copy-early-mover-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
