Overview

This skill provides a read-only integration with Kalshi prediction markets for browsing markets, inspecting market data, and analyzing trade opportunities. It surfaces prices, volumes, orderbook depth, and portfolio positions (when API credentials are provided). Use it to identify high-payoff or high-certainty prediction opportunities without executing trades.

How this skill works

The skill queries Kalshi public API endpoints to list active markets, fetch detailed market snapshots, and read orderbook depth and volume data. With local API credentials and a private key it can also read portfolio positions, balances, and trade history using signed requests. An opportunities analysis scans prices, liquidity, and payoff to flag markets meeting configurable expected-value thresholds.

When to use it

Research current prediction market prices and trends
Scan markets for high-certainty (≥85%) or deep-liquidity opportunities
Verify portfolio positions, balances, and P&L with credentials
Filter markets by category (politics, economics, weather, finance, etc.)
Quickly inspect orderbook depth before committing capital elsewhere

Best practices

Treat this skill as read-only intelligence—use it to inform manual trades on the Kalshi platform
Keep private_key.pem and credentials.json secure and file-permission locked if enabling portfolio reads
Use the opportunities scan as a starting point; validate calculations and liquidity before trading
Prefer markets with sufficient orderbook depth to support your target position size
Convert Kalshi prices in cents to dollar amounts and normalize timezones to UTC for consistency

Example use cases

List trending political and economic contracts ahead of major events
Search markets for undervalued outcomes with EV/cost > 10%
Audit your Kalshi positions and calculate realized/unrealized P&L locally
Inspect orderbook depth for a crypto-related market before placing a manual trade
Filter markets by category and surface high-confidence YES outcomes for quick alerts

FAQ

No. This integration is read-only and does not execute trades. Use it to analyze markets and manage information only.

What is required to view portfolio data?

You must provide a Kalshi API key ID and the corresponding private key file to sign requests. Store them in ~/.kalshi with restrictive permissions.
