Credentials. Signing keys stay in Pearl Connect's local signer, but the workspace path and any tokens must be kept out of the repository.
Who it is forAn experienced operator who has checked the rules where they live and wants a small, capped real-money test of the agent's edge classes.
The problemPaper fills are simulated. Some operators want to see real fill quality against the simulated cross-the-spread model, with strict caps.
The outcomeOne real-mode cycle that places capped Polymarket orders through Pearl Connect and records real fills in the journal.
What you need first
- Python 3 (CI runs on Python 3.12); the engine uses the standard library only
- git and a clone of the repository
- A Claude Code account and the `claude` command on your PATH, for running cycles
- A fork with write access to origin, or no origin remote for local-only runs
- Pearl Connect installed from pearl.you/connect and a funded Safe, only for real-money mode
Steps
- Download Pearl at pearl.you/connect and set up the local signer.
export PEARL_CONNECT_STORE=<path to your Pearl Connect workspace>(inferred, check the README)python3 core/real.py doctor./loop.sh 1 45 --real- Check
config/protected.jsoncaps and the journal for the real fill records before you run again.
Prompt for your agent
In a clone of https://github.com/bennyjo/phil, with PEARL_CONNECT_STORE set to <workspace path>, run `python3 core/real.py doctor` and report whether it says ready. Then run `./loop.sh 1 45 --real` and report the real fills and caps applied. Verify that per-bet stakes do not exceed the cap in config/protected.json.
Caveat. Real bets can lose money, the README says prediction-market trading is restricted or unlawful in some jurisdictions, and the research is not financial or betting advice.
