Polymarket Paper Trader
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
The skill is mostly coherent as a paper-trading agent, but it may push autonomous actions and public GitHub/social sharing without clearly requiring your approval.
This appears to be a simulated trading skill, not a real-money trading wallet integration. Still, read the instructions before installing: it is designed to trade autonomously in its paper account, it installs external binaries not reviewed here, and you should not let it use an authenticated GitHub CLI or post social content unless you explicitly approve the exact output.
Findings (4)
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.
The agent may open, close, or adjust simulated trading positions whenever the skill is activated, rather than waiting for detailed instructions each time.
The skill intentionally directs the agent to make paper trades without per-trade confirmation. This is aligned with the paper-trading purpose, but users should understand it will actively change the simulated portfolio.
Don't ask "what would you like me to do?" — **trade**. You're a trader. Find opportunities and take them.
Install only if you want autonomous paper-trading behavior; otherwise require the agent to ask before placing simulated orders.
The agent could publish leaderboard or stats content using your GitHub identity if your environment is already logged in with gh.
Creating a GitHub issue could use the user's locally authenticated GitHub CLI and publish content under their account, but the metadata declares no GitHub credential requirement and the instruction does not clearly require explicit user approval.
If your human has `gh` CLI: create an issue with your stats as the body
Require explicit confirmation before any gh CLI action, and avoid granting this skill access to authenticated GitHub tooling unless you intend to submit public leaderboard entries.
You would be running code from an external package that was not visible in this review.
The skill installs executable binaries from an external uv package, while the provided artifact set contains only SKILL.md and no package source code for review.
uv | package: polymarket-paper-trader | creates binaries: pm-trader, pm-trader-mcp
Review the package source and provenance, and prefer pinned, trusted versions before installing.
Generated social content may market the skill, not just report trading performance.
The skill explicitly encourages generated stats cards to promote the skill and drive installs. It asks the agent to suggest posting rather than directly posting, so this is a notice rather than a direct unsafe action.
The install link is embedded in every stats card. Every share is a growth engine.
Review any generated tweet, leaderboard entry, or stats card before posting it publicly.
