What it does

Catalyst Confirmation is an agent skill from Superior-Trade/superior-skills. Use when a Polymarket prediction-market thesis rests on an external event — CPI, Fed, elections, court rulings, ETF decisions — and needs market confirmation before committing.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting, Stock and market analysis and Essays and academic help. It works with Polymarket. The repository describes itself as: Open agent skills and tool schemas for Superior Trade — build, backtest, and deploy trading strategies on Hyperliquid. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Polymarket prediction-market thesis rests on an external event — CPI
  • ETF decisions — and needs market confirmation before committing

Example prompts

  • “/catalyst-confirmation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Catalyst information may already be priced in before timestamp.
  2. Market may not map cleanly to the event framing.
  3. False-positive events can create temporary spikes without follow-through.
  4. Single-event backtests can overfit and fail in fresh conditions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d41db5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Catalyst Confirmation loads about 667 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~667

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.

Strategy: Polymarket · Catalyst Confirmation

When to use

Use this when the user ties a strategy idea to an external event (CPI, Fed, court rulings, ETF, earnings, protocol upgrade, sports injuries) and wants Polymarket behavior to confirm it.

What the agent should look for

  • Canonical Polymarket market from GET /context/markets?venue=polymarket.
  • Clear catalyst timestamp or date.
  • Evidence of filled-trade reaction after the catalyst window.
  • Enough filled history around the event window.
  • Confirmation that market question maps directly to the catalyst.

Backtest fit with filled data

Moderate fit. Filled TradeTick backtests can validate whether price reacted and how quickly after timestamps. They do not validate the news source itself or guarantee it remains relevant in future sessions.

This is an archetype template: it should be converted into custom NautilusTrader code and tuned by the user and engine constraints.

Strategy logic

Enter only when the expected directional catalyst outcome appears and a filled-trade confirmation move occurs after the catalyst window.

Nautilus strategy shape

  • Ignore ticks before the configured catalyst timestamp.
  • Require a confirmation_move in the right direction within confirmation_window_ticks.
  • Enter with the configured size only after confirmation.
  • Exit after exit_after_ticks, on reversal, or near market end.

Example strategyConfig

json
{
  "catalyst_time": "2026-06-12T18:00:00Z",
  "confirmation_move": 0.025,
  "confirmation_window_ticks": 20,
  "order_size": 10,
  "exit_after_ticks": 60
}

Iteration knobs

KnobEffect
confirmation_moveHigher = wait for stronger post-catalyst movement.
confirmation_window_ticksLower = tighter catalyst-response window.
exit_after_ticksHigher = hold longer for delayed event drift.

Failure modes

  1. Catalyst information may already be priced in before timestamp.
  2. Market may not map cleanly to the event framing.
  3. False-positive events can create temporary spikes without follow-through.
  4. Single-event backtests can overfit and fail in fresh conditions.

User-facing framing

"This is a catalyst-led archetype, not a guaranteed edge. It runs on filled TradeTick history and exact market identifiers, then becomes a starting point for custom Nautilus strategy generation."
