Polymarket Nothing Ever Happens
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This is a disclosed real-money trading bot, but its defaults and packaging do not fully match its user-facing description, and it relies on an unprovided helper module before making trades.
Review and fix the packaging and defaults before installing. If you still use it, run only scan/dry-run first, explicitly set the price cap and budget, use a dedicated low-balance wallet, and do not enable live trading until the missing gamma_api dependency is reviewed.
Findings (5)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
If run in live mode, the skill can place real prediction-market trades and lose money within its configured limits.
The skill explicitly supports live trade execution through Simmer/Polymarket. This matches the stated purpose, but it is high-impact because it can spend real USDC.
# Execute real trades python nothing_ever_happens.py --live
Run scan/dry-run first, set conservative caps explicitly, and require manual confirmation before live trading.
A mishandled wallet private key could put the user's trading wallet funds at risk.
The requested API key and wallet private key are expected for live trading, but they grant sensitive account and signing authority.
Ask for Simmer API key ... Store in environment as `SIMMER_API_KEY` ... Ask for wallet private key ... Store in environment as `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY`
Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds, avoid reusing a main wallet key, and verify where credentials are stored before live use.
Live trading decisions may depend on unreviewed local code, or the skill may fail unexpectedly if that helper is absent.
The script imports a gamma_api helper from outside this skill if the normal import fails, but gamma_api.py is not included in the manifest or declared in the install spec.
sys.path.insert(0, str(script_dir.parent / "polymarket-ai-divergence")) ... from gamma_api import GammaClient
Do not run live until the gamma_api dependency is packaged, pinned, and reviewed as part of this skill.
A user relying on the documentation may unintentionally allow trades at twice the advertised default price cap.
The source defaults to buying NO up to 10¢, while SKILL.md describes the default strategy as buying at 5¢ or less. For a trading skill, that mismatch materially changes risk.
"default": 0.10, "help": "Max NO ask price to buy (e.g. 0.10 = buy NO at ≤10¢)"
Set `SIMMER_NEH_PRICE_CAP` explicitly before live trading, and the maintainer should align SKILL.md, clawhub.json, and code defaults.
Users may overestimate the production readiness or review status of a skill that can spend real funds.
The package metadata says this live-trading strategy was intended as entertainment/reference material and not for ClawHub, which conflicts with it being presented as a published installable skill.
"publish": false, "publish_reason": "Entertainment-only strategy (sterlingcrispin). Kept as SDK reference/example, not for ClawHub."
Treat this as an experimental/reference bot unless the publisher updates the package metadata and provides clear production-use guidance.
