Simmer Skill Builder

Step 2: Load References

Read these files to understand the patterns:

1. references/skill-template.md — The canonical skill skeleton. Copy the boilerplate blocks verbatim (config system, get_client, safeguards, execute_trade, CLI args).
2. references/simmer-api.md — Simmer SDK API surface. All available methods, field names, return types.

If the Simmer MCP server is available (simmer://docs/skill-reference resource), prefer reading that for the most up-to-date API docs. Otherwise use references/simmer-api.md.

For real examples of working skills, read:

• references/example-weather-trader.md — Pattern: external API signal + Simmer SDK trading
• references/example-mert-sniper.md — Pattern: Simmer API only, filter-and-trade

Step 3: Get External API Docs (If Needed)

If the strategy uses an external data source:

• Polymarket CLOB data: If the Polymarket MCP server is available, search it for relevant endpoints (orderbook, prices, spreads). If not available, the key public endpoints are:
  • GET https://clob.polymarket.com/book?token_id=<token_id> — orderbook
  • GET https://clob.polymarket.com/midpoint?token_id=<token_id> — midpoint price
  • GET https://clob.polymarket.com/prices-history?market=<token_id>&interval=1w&fidelity=60 — price history
  • Get polymarket_token_id from the Simmer market response.
• Other APIs (Synth, NOAA, Binance, RSS, etc.): Ask your human to provide the relevant API docs, or web-fetch them if you have access.

Step 4: Generate the Skill

Create a complete folder on disk:

<skill-slug>/
├── SKILL.md          # AgentSkills-compliant metadata + documentation
├── clawhub.json      # ClawHub + automaton config
├── <script>.py       # Main trading script
└── scripts/
    └── status.py     # Portfolio viewer (copy from references)

SKILL.md Frontmatter (AgentSkills format)

Simmer skills follow the AgentSkills open standard, making them compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code, and other skills-compatible agents.
