Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent for automated trading through the Simmer platform, but take these precautions before enabling live trading:
- Treat SIMMER_API_KEY as a high-value credential: create a least-privilege key if the platform supports it and rotate/revoke after testing.
- Test extensively in paper mode (the default) and validate behavior across edge cases (time-to-resolve handling, spread/volume gating).
- Inspect the simmer-sdk package (source on PyPI / GitHub) before installing to ensure no unexpected network calls or credential exfiltration paths.
- Note the small logic mismatch: trigger detection considers markets resolving within 24 hours, while the MIN_DAYS tunable defaults to 3 and is enforced by valid_market; confirm the intended gating behavior.
- If you extend the skill with news feeds or order-book APIs (as SKILL.md suggests), expect to supply additional API keys — only add those after reviewing what the integrations do.
- Keep autostart disabled (the default) and require explicit --live to avoid accidental real trades; confirm your platform won't flip live mode automatically when managed.
If you want, I can: (a) scan simmer-sdk source for suspicious behavior, (b) list the exact env vars the code reads, or (c) point out the exact lines in trader.py that enforce paper vs live mode.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-macro-event-cascade-trader
Version: 0.0.3
The skill implements a macro-event cascade trading strategy for Polymarket using the `simmer-sdk`. It identifies nearly-resolved events (triggers) and trades lagging downstream markets (targets) based on predefined economic relationships. The code in `trader.py` includes appropriate safety features such as a paper-trading default mode, spread/volume gates, and slippage checks. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection were found.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, the Simmer SDK dependency, and the required SIMMER_API_KEY all match a skill that discovers markets and places trades via a trading SDK. The requested credential is proportional to the stated capability.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and trader.py focus on market scanning, classification, lag detection, and trading; the skill defaults to paper trading and requires an explicit --live flag for real trades. SKILL.md suggests optional remixing with external news/order-flow feeds — those would require extra credentials if added, but are not present in the current bundle. Minor behavioral detail: SKILL.md mentions detecting triggers resolving within 24h, while clawhub tunable SIMMER_MIN_DAYS defaults to 3 and valid_market enforces MIN_DAYS, which could create a slight mismatch between detection and gating logic.
Install Mechanism
There is no install script writing arbitrary code to disk. The package declares a pip dependency (simmer-sdk) in clawhub.json which is a common, expected dependency for trading functionality. Installing third‑party PyPI packages is a moderate risk and should be reviewed (inspect simmer-sdk source) before granting live credentials.
Credentials
Only SIMMER_API_KEY is required (plus optional SIMMER_... tunables read from env). The API key is explicitly described as the trading authority; asking for it is appropriate for a trading skill. No unrelated secrets or broad system paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
autostart: false and always is not set, so the skill does not force itself to run automatically. automaton.managed and an entrypoint exist (trader.py), which is normal for a managed trading skill; review platform policies to confirm it won't be started live without explicit configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-macro-event-cascade-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-macro-event-cascade-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
