What it does

This skill gives an AI agent reference material about Polymarket, a prediction market platform where people trade on the outcomes of events. Once installed, the agent can answer questions about Polymarket's API and trading concepts and write code using the official real-time data client to subscribe to live trades, order matches, comments, RFQ activity and crypto price feeds. It bundles documentation files the agent can read for details, but the files only describe how to use these services; the skill does not itself place trades or fetch data.

Great for

  • Developers building dashboards or monitoring tools for Polymarket markets
  • Data analysts who want live trade or price streams from Polymarket in a TypeScript or JavaScript project
  • Developers learning the Polymarket API and WebSocket topics

Skip it if

  • Automated trading with real money: the skill provides no risk controls, and trading code written from it can lose funds if it has bugs
  • Non-developers looking for a betting tool: it is code-focused and assumes Node.js and TypeScript knowledge
  • Python projects: the SKILL.md states the real-time client is TypeScript/JavaScript only

Try asking

  • “Write a TypeScript script that subscribes to live trades for the market with slug btc-above-100k-2024”
  • “Show me how to subscribe to Polymarket comments on a specific event ID”
  • “Explain the difference between the activity and clob_market WebSocket topics”
  • “Set up the @polymarket/real-time-data-client package in my Node project”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask the agent to use filters such as market_slug or event ID to limit data volume before streaming everything
  • Store API keys in environment variables rather than pasting them into code, since the example shows them inline
  • Verify API details against the official Polymarket documentation, because the bundled references are a translated third-party copy and some files listed (such as learn.md and llms-full.md) may be missing
