Polymarket Weather Trader

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 3, 2026.

Overview

The skill is coherent and dry-run by default, but live use can place real-money Polymarket trades using Simmer credentials.

Treat this as a financial trading tool, not just a weather lookup. Start with dry-run or the $SIM sandbox, confirm explicitly before any --live run, keep position and daily caps small, and do not provide a wallet private key unless you understand and need self-custody trading.

Findings (3)

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.

What this means

If run with --live, the agent can spend funds on prediction-market trades.

Why it was flagged

The skill can place financial orders when live mode is explicitly selected, but the artifact also discloses dry-run default behavior and default trade caps.

Skill content
This skill executes real-money trades on Polymarket only when the `--live` flag is passed ... Per-trade cap ... defaults to `$2.00` per trade.
Recommendation

Use dry-run or TRADING_VENUE=sim first, require explicit confirmation before --live, and keep dashboard and per-trade caps low.

What this means

These credentials can authorize account access and, in live mode, trading activity.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires account API credentials and optionally a wallet private key for self-custody trading, which is expected for this purpose but sensitive.

Skill content
"primaryEnv": "SIMMER_API_KEY" ... "name": "WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY", "required": false, "description": "Only needed for external-wallet self-custody trading."
Recommendation

Provide only the minimum credential needed; avoid WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY unless you intentionally use external-wallet self-custody and trust the environment.

What this means

Installing or running the skill may rely on the current compatible version of simmer-sdk, not a single reviewed package version.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on an external Python package with a lower-bound version rather than an exact pinned version. This is disclosed and central to the skill, but users should understand it pulls in external code.

Skill content
"pip": ["simmer-sdk>=0.13.0"]
Recommendation

Install dependencies from trusted sources and consider pinning a known-good simmer-sdk version in controlled environments.
