At a glance

Pulls Kalshi prediction market data such as prices, orderbooks, trades, events and series with ten small standalone Python scripts.

  • Browsing or searching Kalshi prediction markets by keyword
  • SKILL.md covers Instructions, Progressive Disclosure, Available Scripts and Architecture, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv
  • Checking the orderbook or recent trades for a market

What it does

Each script in `scripts/` is self-contained, has its own HTTP client and depends on no other script, so the agent loads only the one it needs. They cover exchange status, browsing and searching markets (search uses caching), details for one market, orderbook bid and ask levels, recent trades, event listings and details, and series templates, of which roughly 6900 exist. No authentication is needed for any of them.

Scripts run with `uv run` and all take `--help` and `--json`. The skill tells the agent to use `--json` when processing data, to prefer high-volume markets, series and events, and to read `--help` rather than the script source unless absolutely necessary, since each script runs about 200 to 300 lines. They work from any directory.

When your agent uses it

  • Browsing or searching Kalshi prediction markets by keyword
  • Checking the orderbook or recent trades for a market
  • Listing events or series of related markets
  • Checking whether the Kalshi exchange is operational

Example prompts

  • “Search Kalshi for markets about interest rates and list the highest-volume ones.”
  • “Show me the orderbook and recent trades for this market.”
  • “List the Kalshi events that group related election markets.”
  • “Check whether the Kalshi exchange is up right now.”

Requirements

  • uv, to run the Python scripts
  • Network access to Kalshi's public data

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db930dc. 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 10 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Kalshi Markets Data loads about 583 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~583

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 241 words (~583 tokens).

“Standalone, self-contained scripts for Kalshi prediction markets. Each script is independently executable with zero dependencies between scripts.”
