What it does

Whale Tracking is an agent skill from alsk1992/CloddsBot. Monitor whale trades on Polymarket and crypto chains (Solana, ETH, Polygon, ARB, Base, OP)

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `index.ts`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Crypto and DeFi analysis. It works with Polymarket and Solana. The repository describes itself as: Open Source AI trading agent that operates autonomously across 1000+ markets - Polymarket, Kalshi, Binance, Hyperliquid, Solana DEXs, 5 EVM chains. Scans for edge, executes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Crypto and DeFi analysis

Example prompts

  • “/whale-tracking”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in POLY_API_KEY
  • A credential in BIRDEYE_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Set reasonable thresholds - Start with $10k for active markets
  2. Focus on specific markets - Filter by category to reduce noise
  3. Track known smart money - Follow wallets with proven track records
  4. Combine with copy trading - Use whale data to inform copy decisions
  5. Monitor sentiment shifts - Watch for net whale direction changes
  6. Check position sizes - Large positions signal conviction

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c930628. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BIRDEYE_API_KEY
    • ALCHEMY_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Whale Tracking loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

// Create tracker
const tracker = createWhaleTracker({
  minTradeSize: 10000,      // $10k+ trades
  minPositionSize: 50000,   // $50k+ positions
  enableRealtime: true,     // WebSocket streaming
});

// Event handlers

});

tracker.on('positionClosed', (position) => {
  console.log(`📉 Whale exited position`);
  console.log(`   P&L: $${position.pnl.toLocaleString()}`);
});

// Start tracking
await tracker.start();

// Track specific wallet

// Get tracked addresses
const tracked = tracker.getTrackedAddresses();

// Stop tracking
await tracker.stop();
Check Whale Status
typescript
// Check if address is a whale
const isWhale = await isWhaleAddress('0x1234...', 100000);  // $100k min volume

// Get whale activity for a market
const activity = await getMarketWhaleActivity('market-slug');

console.log(`Total whale volume: $${activity.totalVolume.toLocaleString()}`);
