Polymarket paper-trading simulator and bot docs land on Claude Code Skills
Developer mjunaidca released a Polymarket paper-trading simulator through the Claude Code Skills marketplace on June 5, letting users practice event-contract trading with simulated funds against live order book prices. Around the same time, reference documentation for a high-frequency Polymarket trading bot targeting 15-minute crypto markets appeared on the same marketplace. Separately, a developer published a technical breakdown on Dev.to of automated scalping bots exploiting stale orders in Polymarket's 5-minute BTC Up/Down markets, which the author called among the most traded and most inefficient on the platform. A trading bot built with Claude reportedly made $143,000 on Polymarket by arbitraging mispricings across BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP markets.
Polymarket is turning Claude Code from a research assistant into an active trading terminal, giving developers ready-made infrastructure to paper-trade and deploy live bots. Any rival platform without API-native AI tooling will need matching marketplace integrations to retain the quant-developer crowd now building on Polymarket first.
Becomes the third automated-trading infrastructure play for prediction markets this week, after Wintermute's dual-venue liquidity and Binance Wallet's API, with Polymarket and Kalshi now competing for the same quant-developer audience across three distinct toolchains.
