CLI (pm)

Node 22+ (uses --experimental-strip-types). From repo root:

./bin/pm help
./bin/pm profile 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a
./bin/pm profile Theo4 --json
./bin/pm brier 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a
./bin/pm redeem 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a 25

What's in this repo

Included	Not included
Read-only APIs, CLI, skills, docs, templates	Private keys, signing, or trade execution
V2 FAQ + pm v2-check diagnostics	Runnable merge/split/redeem modules
polymarket-pnl audit script	Custodial wallets or one-click trading
Builder attribution helper for future CLOB executors	Builder API credentials or reward guarantees
Opt-in executor/ sub-package (isolated deps, dry-run default)	Custody, strategy logic, or one-click trading
mcp/ MCP server — read-only tools for AI agents (docs/mcp.md)	MCP-exposed order placement

The core (src/, CLI, skills) never holds keys or sends transactions. Order execution lives only in the opt-in executor/ sub-package, which signs with your env-provided key, defaults to dry-run, and is never imported by the core. For normal redemption, use the official Polymarket app.

New to Polymarket? Sign up via the link above (affiliate disclosure: the author may earn referral rewards; no extra cost to you).

Building your own order executor? Start from the opt-in executor/ sub-package (docs/executor.md) — CLOB V2 limit orders with dry-run default, notional cap, and default builder attribution via src/builder.ts (override / opt-out via env). See builder attribution for the disclosure and FAQ. Read-only CLI/skills still do not send orders.

Release notes

v0.7 — MCP server for AI agents

• mcp/ — Model Context Protocol server exposing 10 read-only tools (pm_profile, pm_activity, pm_brier, pm_scan, pm_updown, pm_leaderboard, pm_redeem_watchdog, pm_pnl_check, pm_v2_check, pm_rate_limits) — docs/mcp.md
• The CLI is the contract: every tool shells out to pm, so the server is exactly as read-only as the CLI; inputs are allowlist-validated before reaching argv
• Order placement is deliberately not exposed over MCP — the executor stays a separate, human-wired opt-in

v0.6 — Opt-in executor sub-package

• executor/ — isolated CLOB V2 order execution module (docs/executor.md): own dependencies, never imported by the zero-dependency core
• Safety ladder — dry-run by default (EXECUTOR_LIVE=1 to post), notional cap EXECUTOR_MAX_USD (default $10), fail-closed credential validation
• Builder attribution wired end-to-end — default / override / opt-out via core src/builder.ts, full disclosure in docs
• Core CLI/skills remain read-only and key-free — scope table updated above

v0.5 — Toolbox CLI + roadmap flagships

• pm CLI — profile · activity · scan · updown · v2-check · brier · redeem · markets
• Activity cap detection — duplicate-page warnings near ~4000 rows
• V2 CTF FAQ — docs/v2-ctf-ops-faq.md (split/merge/convert · infra alignment)
• Builder attribution helper — src/builder.ts + docs/builder-attribution.md for future CLOB executors, with default / override / opt-out paths
• Market scanner · crypto updown fields · handoff template — toolbox.md

v0.4 — Redeem watchdog

New public helper: redeem watchdog — inspect redeemable positions without private keys.

Polymarket's pUSD-era redemption flow handles normal user redemption inside the official app. This release does not replace or work around that flow. It adds a read-only status lane for agents and dashboards: which wallet still has rows surfaced as redeemable=true by the public Data API, what their currentValue is (winning rows pay out, losing rows pay $0), and whether a strategy account is below a configured cash watermark. v0.4 adds fetchRedeemablePositionsPage, summarizeRedeemablePositions, and resolveRedeemMode for that workflow. It never signs or sends transactions.

import {
  fetchRedeemablePositionsPage,
  summarizeRedeemablePositions,
} from "./src/index.ts";

const positions = await fetchRedeemablePositionsPage("0x...");
console.log(summarizeRedeemablePositions(positions as never[]));

Also: pm CLI (toolbox drawers) — see docs/toolbox.md.

v0.3 — polymarket-pnl skill

New Skill: polymarket-pnl — Audit-grade PnL via Data API cashflow reconstruction.

Most profilers (including polymarket-profile) use position-level cashPnL which is an approximation. polymarket-pnl replays every BUY / SELL / REDEEM / MERGE / SPLIT / REBATE event and reconciles against current unrealized position value. Validated against Polymarket's official /profit endpoint on the public leaderboard: MAPE ~0.2%, all top accounts within 1% error. Use this when the number has to hold up to scrutiny.

---

Redeem Watchdog Helpers

Inspect redeemable positions for a public proxy wallet without touching keys, allowances, relayers, or transactions.

What you get

• Redeemable scan — fetchRedeemablePositionsPage(user) calls Data API /positions?redeemable=true
• Condition rollup — summarizeRedeemablePositions(rows) groups rows by conditionId and sums currentValue (losing rows contribute $0, which is the correct payable amount — not their size)
• Policy label — resolveRedeemMode({ lowWatermark }) returns "watchdog" or "low_watermark". There is intentionally no "active" value: this toolkit never executes a redeem, so an active label belongs in your own wallet system, not here.

Example

npx tsx examples/15-redeem-watchdog.ts 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a 25

{
  "mode": "low_watermark",
  "redeemableCount": 3,
  "conditionCount": 3,
  "estimatedRedeemableValue": 0,
  "topConditions": [
    { "conditionId": "0x...", "slug": "btc-updown-5m-1771773600", "count": 1, "estimatedCurrentValue": 0 }
  ]
}

Three rows surfaced as redeemable=true but every currentValue is 0 — they are losing tokens that redeem to $0. The Data API still surfaces them after resolution; the helper reports them honestly without inflating payable value.

Safety boundary

This toolkit only reads public APIs. It does not redeem tokens, sign Safe transactions, call relayers, move funds, or require private keys. The official Polymarket app remains the right place for normal user redemption. Treat this helper as a dashboard/agent primitive; execution stays in your own wallet system.

polymarket-profile

Turn any Polymarket address into a complete trading profile.

What you get

• PnL Overview — Total profit/loss, 7d/30d trends
• Win Rate — Accurate settlement-based calculation (not position-level approximation)
• Open Positions — Current holdings with unrealized PnL and expiry dates
• Activity Breakdown — TRADE / SPLIT / MERGE / REDEEM volume with full pagination
• Category Distribution — Where the money goes: Crypto, Politics, Sports, Weather, etc.
• Top Wins & Losses — Best and worst settled positions
• Strategy Pattern — Auto-detected: Market Maker, SPLIT Arbitrage, Diversified, Whale, etc.

How it works

The skill instructs your AI agent to call Polymarket's public APIs (lb-api, data-api, gamma-api), process the data, and output a structured profile. No API key needed, no local database, no setup.

You: Profile this Polymarket address: 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a

AI: Fetching data... (paginating 12 pages of activity)

    📊 Overview
      Total PnL:  $2,382,780.64
      Win Rate:   6/11 (54.5%)
      ...

    🎯 Strategy: Market Maker (high-frequency, concentrated in Crypto)

Setup

Claude Code:

# Copy the skill to your skills directory
cp -R skills/polymarket-profile ~/.claude/skills/

OpenClaw:

cp -R skills/polymarket-profile ~/.openclaw/skills/

Any other AI agent: Just paste the content of skills/polymarket-profile/SKILL.md into your conversation and ask your AI to follow the instructions.

Requirements

• An AI agent that can run curl commands
• Internet access to Polymarket APIs (some endpoints may need a proxy in certain regions)
• That's it. No API keys, no database, no dependencies.

Supported input

Input	Example	Resolution
0x address	0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a	Direct
Profile URL	polymarket.com/profile/Theo4	Auto-resolve via leaderboard
Username	Theo4	Auto-resolve via leaderboard

Username lookup works for all leaderboard-ranked users (auto-resolved via lb-api). Unranked accounts (zero trading history) require the 0x address directly.

Data sources

All public, no authentication required:

API	What it provides
lb-api.polymarket.com	PnL, leaderboard rankings
data-api.polymarket.com	Positions, activity history
gamma-api.polymarket.com	Market metadata, categories, tags

Known limitations

• Username → address auto-resolution works for leaderboard-ranked users only (unranked accounts need 0x address)
• Category mapping uses Gamma API tags + keyword fallback (not 100% accurate)
• Top Wins/Losses uses position-level cashPnl (approximate, not per-trade)
• Large accounts (10K+ trades) may take 30+ seconds to paginate
• lb-api 7d/30d PnL may return empty for inactive accounts
• Activity API ~4000 row cap: continuing pagination may return identical JSON — use pm activity / fetchActivityPages or polymarket-pnl with pagination_incomplete

polymarket-brier

Rate any trader's prediction accuracy with Brier Score — the standard metric used by Metaculus, Good Judgment Project, and forecasting research.

Why not just look at PnL?

Trader Type	PnL	Brier Score	Signal Value
Skilled predictor	High	Good (low)	Best signal source
Market maker	High	Poor (high)	Earns spread, not predictions
SPLIT arbitrageur	High	N/A	Market-neutral, no directional view
Accurate but cautious	Low	Good (low)	Good signal, small sizing

Example

You: What's the Brier Score for Theo4?

AI: Fetching settled positions...

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    Brier Score: Theo4
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  📊 Prediction Accuracy
    Brier Score:      0.12 (Good)
    Settled Markets:  36
    Correct:          29/36 (81%)

  📐 Calibration
    | Confidence | Positions | Forecast | Actual | Gap  |
    |------------|-----------|----------|--------|------|
    | High       | 12        | 87%      | 83%    | -4%  |
    | Moderate   | 15        | 68%      | 67%    | -1%  |
    | Coin flip  | 6         | 52%      | 50%    | -2%  |
    | Contrarian | 3         | 28%      | 33%    | +5%  |

Setup

# Claude Code
cp -R skills/polymarket-brier ~/.claude/skills/

# OpenClaw
cp -R skills/polymarket-brier ~/.openclaw/skills/

After installation: "What's the Brier Score for 0x63ce..." or "How accurate is Theo4's predictions?"

polymarket-pnl

Audit-grade PnL for any Polymarket address via Data API cashflow reconstruction. Replays every BUY / SELL / REDEEM / MERGE / SPLIT / REBATE event and reconciles against current unrealized position value.

Why not just use position-level cashPnL?

Position-level cashPnL (what most profilers surface) is rounded at the position level and drops partial fills, making it approximate. polymarket-pnl walks the full activity log — every trade event, every REDEEM, every MERGE — and computes PnL from the cashflow identity:

PnL = SUM(SELL + REDEEM + MERGE + REBATE) - SUM(BUY + SPLIT) + unrealized_position_value

Validated on Polymarket's own leaderboard: precise_pnl matches the official /profit endpoint within 0.2% MAPE on top traders.

Example

You: Compute precise PnL for the top 10 leaderboard addresses.

AI: Fetching leaderboard... (10 addresses)
    Processing 0x56687bf447... (15,993 trades)
    ...

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
      Benchmark: Precise PnL vs Leaderboard (official /profit)
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
      ✅ 0x56687bf447... precise=$22,032,643.17  official=$22,053,933.75  err=0.1%
      ✅ 0x1f2dd6d473... precise=$16,580,235.20  official=$16,619,506.63  err=0.2%
      ...

      MAPE: 0.2%  |  <10%: 10/10  |  <30%: 10/10

Setup

# Claude Code
cp -R skills/polymarket-pnl ~/.claude/skills/
pip install httpx  # the only runtime dependency

# OpenClaw
cp -R skills/polymarket-pnl ~/.openclaw/skills/
pip install httpx

CLI usage

# Single address
python3 compute_precise_pnl.py --address 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a

# Bulk over the leaderboard
python3 compute_precise_pnl.py --leaderboard 50 -o top50.jsonl

# Benchmark a local PnL dataset vs. recomputed precise PnL
python3 compute_precise_pnl.py --leaderboard 100 \
  --benchmark local_pnl.jsonl \
  -o benchmark.jsonl

Output is JSONL with one record per address. See skills/polymarket-pnl/SKILL.md for the full output schema.

When to use polymarket-profile vs polymarket-pnl

• polymarket-profile — curl-only, qualitative profile (win rate, positions, categories). Best for "who is this address?"
• polymarket-pnl — Python + audit-grade cashflow reconstruction. Best for "what is their real PnL?" — writing research, benchmarking a model, or building a dataset.
