# prediction-market-monitor
You pass a Kalshi series or shortcut. The skill pulls open markets,
groups by event, and reports implied probabilities. When the event
is a laddered strike-type (Fed funds level, CPI reading), it derives
the cross-strike probability distribution from adjacent-threshold
differences and reports the modal outcome and expected value.
Motivated by 2025-26 growth of prediction markets as leading
indicators post-2024 election validation. Kalshi Fed-decision
contracts now trade meaningful volume; contract prices often reflect
policy expectations before consensus surveys catch up.
## When to invoke
- "What's the Kalshi-implied Fed decision at the next meeting?"
- Comparing market-implied CPI to Bloomberg / Reuters consensus
- Cross-referencing macro-print bets against your positioning
- The user says "Kalshi", "prediction market", "implied Fed", "fed
funds futures alternative"
## What you need
- Internet access (Kalshi's public API; no Massive key needed)
Optional:
- `--series` (shortcut like `fed`, `cpi`, `nfp`, `gdp`, or a raw
Kalshi series ticker like `KXFED`, `KXCPI`)
- `--keyword` (client-side filter on title / ticker)
- `--event-ticker` (pin a specific event, e.g. `KXFED-27APR`)
- `--max-events` (default 5)
## What you get back
**Layer 1: JSON**. Per event: `event_ticker`, `title`, `close_time`,
`markets` (each with `implied_probability`, bid, ask, last, volume,
open interest, floor_strike). When laddered:
