Usage Guidance
Before installing or giving this skill your SIMMER_API_KEY:
- Confirm the registry metadata mismatch: the registry header you were shown claims no required env or deps, but the package (clawhub.json and SKILL.md) requires SIMMER_API_KEY and installs simmer-sdk. Ask the publisher to correct metadata or explain the discrepancy.
- Review the simmer-sdk source (PyPI/GitHub link in SKILL.md) to ensure you trust the SDK that will be used to execute trades.
- Test thoroughly in paper mode (default) and inspect logs before running with --live; real USDC trades only occur when you explicitly pass --live.
- Consider rotating any API key used for testing and grant the least privilege possible; do not provide live trading credentials until you audit the SDK and are comfortable with the risk.
- If you need higher assurance, request a signed provenance or a reproducible build and verify the Simmer SDK package integrity (hashes) before installation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-whale-scanner-trader
Version: 1.0.1
The skill implements a legitimate trading strategy that follows high-performing Polymarket traders. It fetches public leaderboard data from predicting.top and wallet activity from data-api.polymarket.com to identify consensus positions, then executes trades via the simmer-sdk. The code includes safety features such as a default paper-trading mode (venue='sim'), explicit live-trading flags, and configurable risk parameters (tunables) for position sizing and market liquidity.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name, SKILL.md, clawhub.json, and trader.py are coherent: they fetch public Polymarket data and use a Simmer SDK client to run paper or live trades, which justifies requiring SIMMER_API_KEY and the simmer-sdk dependency. However, the top-level registry metadata you were shown earlier ("Required env vars: none", "Primary credential: none") contradicts the bundled clawhub.json and SKILL.md which both require SIMMER_API_KEY. That metadata mismatch is an incoherence that should be resolved before trusting the skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and trader.py limit actions to fetching public leaderboards (predicting.top), Polymarket public data API, applying configurable risk filters, and invoking the SimmerClient for paper or explicit live trades. Instructions do not attempt to read unrelated files or extra environment secrets.
Install Mechanism
There is no arbitrary download/install script in the bundle. clawhub.json declares a pip dependency on 'simmer-sdk' (PyPI). Installing from PyPI is a normal moderate-risk dependency (review the simmer-sdk source before providing credentials).
Credentials
The only required secret is SIMMER_API_KEY, used to authorize trading via the Simmer SDK — this is proportionate to a trading skill. The skill also exposes many SIMMER_ tunables as env vars, which is expected for a trading configuration. No unrelated credentials or broad system secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and autostart is false. It does not request elevated platform privileges or modify other skills. The agent may invoke it autonomously by default (normal for skills) but that is not combined with other concerning privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-whale-scanner-trader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-whale-scanner-trader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
