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-mert-sniper 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (mert_sniper.py, scripts/status.py, tests/test_mertsniper_orderbook_summary.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Mert Sniper

Near-expiry conviction trading on Polymarket. The skill scans markets in their final minutes of pricing, filters for strongly-skewed splits, and places bounded trades against the under-priced side.

🚨 Framework, not a production trading system. Read DISCLAIMER.md before connecting to a wallet with real funds. Dry-run is the default; --live is required for any real-USDC trade. Defaults: $10 max per trade, 60/40 split minimum, 8-minute expiry window, 5 trades per scan cycle — adjust deliberately before scaling.

This is a template. The default logic (expiry + split filter) is a starting point — remix it with your own filters, timing rules, or market selection criteria. The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, trade execution, safeguards). Your agent provides the alpha.

Strategy attribution: @mert — see source thread for the original methodology (topic filter, near-expiry timing, strong-split entry).

News-recency veto. Optional guard that checks Simmer's macro-news schedule before order placement and skips matching news-resolution markets inside the first 30 seconds after CPI, BLS jobs/unemployment, FOMC, nonfarm payrolls, or quarterly earnings events. Continuous-feed crypto Up/Down markets are not blocked by this veto. Default is off until internal positive backfill coverage exists; set enable_news_veto=true to enable it.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Trade markets that are about to resolve (last-minute conviction bets)
  • Filter by topic (e.g. only SOL/crypto markets)
  • Cap bet size (e.g. never more than $10)
  • Only trade when odds are strongly skewed (e.g. 60/40 or better)
  • Run an automated expiry-sniping strategy

Setup Flow

  1. Install the Simmer SDK

    pip install simmer-sdk
    
  2. Ask for Simmer API key

    • Get it from simmer.markets/dashboard -> SDK tab
    • Store in environment as SIMMER_API_KEY
