polymarket-alpha-bot CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for a Polymarket prediction-market analysis platform. The project groups related markets, finds logical connections, builds hedged portfolios, tracks prices, and manages positions through a web dashboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when installing or running the project, processing market data, exporting or importing seed data, checking the code, or working with its trading and dashboard components.
Why use it?
They provide the repository's commands, architecture, trading setup, and seed-data workflow so changes follow its operational rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

polymarket-alpha-bot CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Polymarket alpha detection platform. LLM pipeline groups related markets, extracts logical implications, and builds covering portfolios (hedged positions via contrapositive logic). Next.js dashboard with real-time price tracking and position management.

Trades against Polymarket V2 (pUSD collateral, official polymarket-client SDK, EIP-712 domain version "2") via per-user deposit wallets (signature type 3): each user supplies an EOA key + a Relayer API key, the deposit wallet is deployed gaslessly, and the relayer pays gas. Legacy V1 was retired on 2026-04-28; for archaeology see the v1-final git tag.

Commands

# Development
make install        # Install all deps (uv sync + npm install)
make dev            # Start backend (:8000) + frontend (:3000)
make backend        # Backend only
make frontend       # Frontend only
make stop           # Kill dev servers

# Pipeline
make pipeline       # Run ML pipeline (incremental)
make pipeline-full  # Full reprocess from scratch

# Seed Data
make export-seed    # Export current state as seed
make import-seed    # Import seed data (resets DB)

# Quality
make lint           # Auto-fix: ruff (backend) + prettier + eslint (frontend)
cd frontend && npm run typecheck  # TypeScript check (not in Makefile)

Critical Rules

  • Use uv exclusively — never pip, never conda
  • Use polars — never pandas
  • Experiments are independent — no imports from backend/
  • Run backend Python from backend/cd backend && uv run ...
  • load_dotenv() before imports in server/main.py (E402 ignored by ruff for this file)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
