Polymarket Politics Random Buyer
This skill is a publishable AION trading template that scans Polymarket politics markets, randomly picks one valid candidate, checks market context, and buys 1 USDC by default.
> This is a template. The default signal is intentionally simple: pick a random live politics market that passes context checks, then buy 1 USDC on the chosen side. Remix the selection logic, side logic, sizing, and filters with your own research or model. The skill handles market discovery, guardrails, and AION trade tagging.
When To Use
Use this skill when you want a minimal AION-compatible Polymarket trading skill that can discover politics markets automatically instead of taking a fixed market id.

3. Always require the user's API key and wallet private key from env.
4. Always attach source, skill_slug, and human-readable reasoning.
5. Skip candidates when market context returns warnings or flip-flop risk.
6. Return a clear HOLD result when no valid politics market passes the checks.
Decision Logic
1. Search Polymarket using politics-related keywords. 2. Flatten nested event -> market results into tradeable sub-markets. 3. Filter to live politics candidates with usable identifiers. 4. Randomize the candidate list. 5. Check market context candidate by candidate until one passes safeguards. 6. Buy the configured side for the configured amount.
