What it does

Deadline Drift is an agent skill from Superior-Trade/superior-skills. Use when a Polymarket market probability changes as the resolution deadline approaches.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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. 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 market probability changes as the resolution deadline approaches
Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

Example prompts

“/deadline-drift”

Workflow steps

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

Market rules can resolve differently than expected.
Event risk can overwhelm smooth drift behavior.
Short windows overfit to one cycle.
Holding through settlement can produce binary outcomes unrelated to interim PnL.

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

Deadline Drift loads about 629 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 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: ~629

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.

name: deadline-drift
description: Use when a Polymarket market probability changes as the resolution deadline approaches.
metadata.version: 0.1.0
metadata.updated: 2026-06-17

Strategy: Polymarket · Deadline Drift

When to use

Use this for before-date contracts, monthly/weekly threshold markets, election timing markets, or requests where time remaining is the core thesis.

What the agent should look for

Canonical Polymarket market from GET /context/markets?venue=polymarket.
Reliable market_end from market metadata.
Time remaining during the candidate backtest window.
Probability drift near deadline in the filled history.
Whether the market reprices gradually or with sharp catalyst jumps.
User preference for holding to settlement or exiting earlier.

Backtest fit with filled data

Moderate fit. Filled TradeTick data can show whether price drifted in line with deadline pressure and whether exits would usually occur before binary resolution.

Limit: this does not produce true fair-probability forecasts; it only tests historical price behavior around deadlines.

Strategy logic

Enter when drift aligns with time decay or deadline acceleration. Exit before settlement unless the user explicitly asks for binary exposure into resolution.

Nautilus strategy shape

Use on_trade_tick.
Compare trade timestamp to market_end.
Trade only between min_days_to_end and max_days_to_end.
Exit using an exit_buffer_hours cutoff.

Example strategyConfig

json

{
  "market_end": "2026-07-01T00:00:00Z",
  "min_days_to_end": 2,
  "max_days_to_end": 21,
  "drift_threshold": 0.015,
  "order_size": 10,
  "exit_buffer_hours": 12
}

Iteration knobs

Knob	Effect
`min_days_to_end`	Avoids entering too close to settlement.
`max_days_to_end`	Avoids entering when the deadline is still distant.
`drift_threshold`	Higher values require stronger deadline repricing.
`exit_buffer_hours`	Larger buffers reduce resolution timing risk.

Failure modes

Market rules can resolve differently than expected.
Event risk can overwhelm smooth drift behavior.
Short windows overfit to one cycle.
Holding through settlement can produce binary outcomes unrelated to interim PnL.

User-facing framing

"This strategy trades deadline pressure, not certainty. I will backtest on filled TradeTicks to check whether the historical price drift is consistent and tradable, then suggest only cautious position sizing."
