name: kalshi-markets description: Access Kalshi prediction market data including market prices, orderbooks, trades, events, and series information. Use when the user asks about prediction markets, Kalshi markets, betting odds, market prices, or needs to search or analyze prediction market data.

Kalshi Markets

Standalone, self-contained scripts for Kalshi prediction markets. Each script is independently executable with zero dependencies between scripts.

Instructions

• Default to --json flag for all commands when processing data
• Prioritize high volume markets, series, and events.
• IMPORTANT: Don't read scripts unless absolutely needed - instead, use <script.py> --help to understand options and then call the script with uv run <script.py> <options> to get the data you need.
• All scripts work from any directory (use absolute paths internally)

Progressive Disclosure

Each script contains ~200-300 lines with complete functionality. Only load the script you need - no unnecessary context.
