Phil, a groundhog peeking over a rising price chart

**Phil is a self-improving trader: an AI agent that trades short-term prediction markets and rewrites its own strategy after every resolved bet.** Paper trading is the 24/7 learning engine. Real money runs alongside it, deliberately small: capped stakes through [Pearl Connect](https://github.com/valory-xyz/connect), only in edge classes whose settled evidence has earned it.

The name honors the man who relived the same day until he'd learned enough to win it, and the groundhog who makes forecasts.

The experiment

Claude Code gets a simulated $1,000 bankroll and the short-term Polymarket universe: earnings beats, daily sports, pre-match esports, official economic prints, near-term news. Crypto up-or-down coin-flips are banned. Every cycle it settles yesterday's bets against official resolutions and scores its own calibration against the market price it paid. It writes a retrospective when bets have settled. A swarm of cheap screening subagents scores ~300 markets per full cycle against the live price (`core/screen.py`), and the agent spends its research slots on the largest divergences. It **edits its own playbook, risk policy, tooling, sensing** (the market-discovery queries and the screening prompt) **and pacing** (which hourly ticks deserve a full cycle). Then it commits the diff, researches, and bets again.

Three layers keep it honest:

an hourly cycle agent that screens, researches, bets, and self-edits, plus lightweight watchers (core/watch.py) that check every ~15 minutes for new listings and price moves on the agent's watchlist and trigger an early cycle when something fires;
a daily deep-retro agent that audits every strategy edit (keep, sharpen, or
