# Polymarket Probability Analyzer

**Analyze Polymarket events and calculate probability ranges.**

## Overview

This skill analyzes Polymarket events by gathering information from multiple online sources and calculating estimated probability ranges. Uses SkillPay.me for billing - **0.001 USDT per analysis**.

## How It Works

The analyzer follows a multi-step process:

1. **Event Identification**: Parse event name or Polymarket URL provided by user
2. **Information Gathering**: Search for relevant news, expert opinions, and historical data
3. **Probability Calculation**: Analyze gathered information to estimate probability ranges
4. **Billing Check**: Check user's SkillPay.me balance, return payment link if needed
5. **Analysis Delivery**: Return probability ranges with confidence levels

## Billing Flow (Using Correct SkillPay API Endpoints)

**First-Time Users:**
1. Skill checks balance via `/api/v1/billing/balance`
2. If balance ≤ 0, generates payment link via `/api/v1/billing/payment-link`
3. User clicks link, pays 8.00 USDT (minimum top-up)
4. User re-runs command, analysis proceeds

**Subsequent Uses:**
1. Skill checks balance via `/api/v1/billing/balance`
2. If balance ≥ 0.001 USDT, charges via `/api/v1/billing/charge`
3. Analysis proceeds immediately

**No registration required!** Users just need to pay once and can use the skill unlimited times.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Analyze an event by name
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --event "Will Bitcoin hit $100k by 2025?"

# Analyze by Polymarket URL
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --url https://polymarket.com/event/bitcoin-100k

# Get detailed breakdown
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --event "Trump 2024" --verbose

# Skip billing check (dev mode)
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --event "Test" --skip-billing
```

## Usage

### First Use (if balance insufficient)
```
User: "Analyze Bitcoin price to $100k"

→ Skill checks SkillPay.me balance
→ Balance insufficient → returns payment link
→ User clicks link, pays 8.00 USDT
→ User re-runs command
→ Analysis proceeds, returns probability ranges
```

### Subsequent Uses (balance sufficient)
```
User: "Analyze Bitcoin price to $90k"

→ Skill checks SkillPay.me balance
→ Balance sufficient → runs analysis
→ Returns: Low: 40%, Mid: 60%, High: 75%
```

## Output Format

### Standard Output
```
🎯 Event: Will Bitcoin hit $100k by 2025?

📊 Probability Range:
  Low:   35.0%  (Conservative estimate)
  Mid:   55.0%  (Balanced estimate)
  High:  70.0%  (Optimistic estimate)

📈 Confidence: Medium

🔑 Key Factors:
• Institutional adoption increasing
• Regulatory uncertainty remains
• Market volatility expected
• Historical price patterns suggest upward trend

📚 Sources: 12 sources analyzed
```

### Payment Link Format

When user balance is insufficient:
```
💳 Checking SkillPay.me billing status...
   User ID: gateway_xxx...
   Cost: 0.001 USDT

💳 Payment Required - First-Time User

💰 To use this skill, please complete a one-time payment:
   Amount: 8.00 USDT (minimum top-up)
   Network: BNB Chain
   Currency: USDT (BEP-20)

   After payment, you'll get 8.00 + 0.001 = 8.001 USDT total balance
   Each analysis costs 0.001 USDT

💡 After completing payment, re-run this command to get your analysis!
```

- OpenClaw Gateway ID
- System username
- UUID fallback

## Developer Setup

### First-Time Setup

1. Register on SkillPay.me
2. Get your API key
3. Set environment variables (see above)
4. Package and publish skill

### Testing

```bash
# Test without billing
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --event "Test" --skip-billing

# Test with billing
python scripts/prob_analyzer.py --event "Bitcoin $100k"
```

## Billing Details

- **Cost**: 0.001 USDT per analysis
- **Currency**: USDT (BEP-20 on BNB Chain)
- **Processor**: SkillPay.me
- **Revenue Share**: 95% to developer, 5% platform fee
- **User Experience**: One-time payment, then unlimited use

## Troubleshooting

**"Payment Required"**
→ Click the provided payment link
→ Pay 8.00 USDT (minimum top-up) with your wallet
→ Re-run the analysis command

**"Insufficient balance" (first use)**
→ Click payment link
→ Complete one-time payment
→ Re-run command for unlimited use

**"Payment failed"**
→ Check your SkillPay.me balance
→ Ensure wallet has sufficient USDT (BEP-20)
→ Contact SkillPay.me support

**"API error"**
→ Check internet connection
→ Verify SkillPay.me service status
→ Retry the command

## Technical Details

- **Language**: Python 3
- **Dependencies**: requests (HTTP client)
- **Billing API**: SkillPay.me v1 endpoints
  - `/api/v1/billing/balance` - Check user balance
  - `/api/v1/billing/payment-link` - Generate payment link (first-time users)
  - `/api/v1/billing/charge` - Charge per use
- **Event Parsing**: Regex-based URL parsing
- **Probability Algorithm**: Heuristic analysis based on event keywords

## Best Practices

1. **Provide clear event names**: More specific events get better analysis
2. **Use verbose mode for important decisions**: Get detailed reasoning and factors
3. **Review confidence levels**: High confidence results are more reliable
4. **Consider the full probability range**: Don't focus only on the midpoint
