Topic to scout: {{args}} (if empty, scan trending on both platforms)
If a topic is given, search both Polymarket and Kalshi for {{args}} simultaneously. If no topic, pull trending from both platforms (limit 8 each).
Print:
🔍 SCANNING Polymarket + Kalshi for "{{args}}"...
Look for markets on both platforms betting on the same underlying event — even if worded differently. For each candidate pair, extract:
Print each match found:
🔗 MATCH: [Event Name]
Polymarket: [question] Yes bid/ask @ [X]/[Y]¢ liq: $[Z] ends: [date]
Kalshi: [question] Yes bid/ask @ [X]/[Y]¢ liq: $[Z] ends: [date]
For each matched pair, calculate both arb directions. This is the core of the agent.
Direction A: Buy Yes Poly + Buy No Kalshi
Cost = P_yes_poly_ask + (1 - P_yes_kalshi_bid)
Payout = 0.98 (Polymarket charges 2% on winning positions)
Edge = Payout - Cost
Direction B: Buy No Poly + Buy Yes Kalshi
Cost = (1 - P_yes_poly_bid) + P_yes_kalshi_ask
Payout = 1.00 (Kalshi no fee on payout)
Edge = Payout - Cost
Always use bid/ask prices, not mid — mid prices are not executable. If only mid is available, assume 1¢ spread each side.
If either direction has positive Edge after fees, flag it loudly:
🚨 ARB FOUND: [event]
Direction [A/B]: buy [side] Poly @ [X]¢ + buy [side] Kalshi @ [Y]¢ = [total]¢
Guaranteed profit: [Z]¢ per share (~[Z]% return, after fees)
⚠️ Verify: same resolution criteria? same timeframe?
If markets resolve at different dates:
⏱️ DATE MISMATCH: Poly ends [date1], Kalshi ends [date2] (gap: [N] days)
Treating as SOFT arb — risk window is [date1]–[date2]
Calculate the gap and identify which platform is mispriced:
📐 GAP ANALYSIS: [event]
Poly Yes: [X]¢ Kalshi Yes: [Y]¢ Raw gap: [Z]¢
Best direction cost: [C]¢ (need <98¢ for profit after Poly fee)
Distance from arb: [98 - C]¢
Reason about informational edge:
Output the alpha thesis:
💡 ALPHA: [event]
Mispriced side: [Poly/Kalshi] has [X]¢ vs counterpart [Y]¢
Who has edge: [which user base knows this better, and why]
Momentum: [rising/falling/stable on Polymarket this week]
Trade: Buy [Yes/No] on [platform] @ [price]¢
Edge: ~[Z]¢ if thesis correct | Risk: [Z]¢ if wrong
Conviction: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW] — [one sentence why]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RANK TYPE EVENT EDGE CONVICTION

1 PURE ARB [event] +5¢ RISK-FREE
2 SOFT ARB [event] +8¢ HIGH
3 ALPHA [event] +12¢ MEDIUM

Rank by:
We can only execute the Polymarket leg directly. Kalshi legs must be placed manually.
If pure arb:
🚨 PURE ARB — executing Polymarket leg now
Manual Kalshi leg: Buy [Yes/No] on "[market]" @ [price]¢
If alpha:
💡 ALPHA TRADE
Buy [Yes/No] on "[market question]"
Price: [X]¢ | Size: $10 | Shares: ~[N] | Wallet: main
Ask: Execute Polymarket leg? (yes to proceed)
If yes, place the position using the tokenId and main wallet via:
mp prediction-market position buy \
--wallet main \
--provider polymarket \
--tokenId <token-id> \
