Description
Trades Polymarket prediction markets on sports championships, tournament outcomes, MVP awards, transfer windows, and season milestones. Use when you want to...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent for trading Polymarket markets: it only needs SIMMER_API_KEY and depends on simmer-sdk. Recommended before installing: (1) verify the simmer-sdk PyPI/GitHub project and maintainer are legitimate, (2) store SIMMER_API_KEY in a secure secrets manager and avoid pasting it in public logs, (3) run the skill in paper mode (default) and review logs/output before using --live, (4) review the full trader.py (and any simmer-sdk code) yourself or in a sandbox to ensure there are no hidden network calls or exfiltration, and (5) be cautious because the skill's source/homepage are missing — limited provenance increases supply-chain risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-sports-live-trader
Version: 0.0.3
The skill is a functional trading bot for Polymarket sports prediction markets, utilizing the 'simmer-sdk' for execution. It implements a transparent strategy based on fan-bias heuristics and sports calendar timing as described in SKILL.md. The code in trader.py follows safety best practices by defaulting to a paper-trading (simulation) mode and requires an explicit flag for live trading. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say 'Polymarket sports trader' and the package requires only a Simmer API key and the simmer-sdk; the code (trader.py) implements market discovery, signal computation, and trade execution against Simmer/Polymarket — these requirements are proportionate to the stated purpose. Note: publisher/homepage is missing (source unknown), which reduces provenance and increases supply-chain risk.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions and trader.py focus on market discovery, sizing rules, and execution. The skill documents that it defaults to simulation and only does live trades with an explicit --live flag. SKILL.md mentions optional external data sources (e.g., ESPN hidden API) as remix ideas but does not mandate or embed unrelated data collection in the provided files.
Install Mechanism
There is no install script in the bundle; clawhub.json declares a pip dependency on 'simmer-sdk' (PyPI + GitHub links provided in SKILL.md). This is expected for a Simmer-based trader, but pip dependencies are an attack surface — verify the simmer-sdk package and its maintainers before installing. No arbitrary downloads or extract steps are present in the skill bundle itself.
Credentials
The skill requires a single high-value credential (SIMMER_API_KEY) which is appropriate for a trading client. Tunables are surfaced via SIMMER_* environment variables and are consistent between clawhub.json and trader.py. The SKILL.md explicitly warns SIMMER_API_KEY is high-value. No unrelated credentials or config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
autostart is false and always is not set; the skill is user-invocable and can run autonomously per platform defaults but does not force inclusion. The automaton entrypoint points to trader.py (managed=true) which is normal for a runnable skill; there is no 'always: true' or indication it modifies other skills or global agent config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-sports-live-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-sports-live-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.0.3
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
