Kraken.Net: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

Kraken.Net copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from JKorf/Kraken.Net. It costs 854 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding instructions for using Kraken.Net, a C#/.NET library for Kraken cryptocurrency exchange APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides client setup, API credentials, REST and WebSocket usage, and checking whether exchange requests succeeded before reading their results.
Why use it?
It prevents generated code from bypassing the library with raw web requests or mishandling authentication and returned errors.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Kraken.Net copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Copilot Instructions for Kraken.Net

This repository is Kraken.Net - a strongly typed C#/.NET client library for the Kraken Spot and Futures REST and WebSocket APIs. It is part of the CryptoExchange.Net ecosystem.

When generating code that consumes Kraken.Net, follow these conventions:

Use Kraken.Net, not raw HTTP

Never generate raw HttpClient calls to Kraken endpoints. Always use KrakenRestClient or KrakenSocketClient so request signing, rate limiting, WebSocket reconnection, and result handling stay consistent with the library.

Client setup

using CryptoExchange.Net.Authentication;
using Kraken.Net;
using Kraken.Net.Clients;

var restClient = new KrakenRestClient(options =>
{
    options.ApiCredentials = new KrakenCredentials(
        new HMACCredential("SPOT_KEY", "SPOT_SECRET"),
        new HMACCredential("FUTURES_KEY", "FUTURES_SECRET"));
});

For public market data, credentials are not required: new KrakenRestClient().

Result handling

REST methods return WebCallResult<T> or WebCallResult. WebSocket subscriptions and socket API requests return CallResult<T> or CallResult. Always check .Success before reading .Data; error details are on .Error.

API structure

  • restClient.SpotApi.ExchangeData - spot market data, assets, symbols, tickers, klines, order books, trades, spreads
  • restClient.SpotApi.Account - balances, ledgers, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, API key info
  • restClient.SpotApi.Trading - spot open/closed orders, order query, trade history, place/edit/cancel orders
  • restClient.SpotApi.Earn - Kraken Earn strategies, allocations, allocate/deallocate funds
  • restClient.FuturesApi.ExchangeData - futures symbols, tickers, klines, order books, funding rates, trades
  • restClient.FuturesApi.Account - futures balances, account log, PNL currency, transfers, fees, margin requirements
  • restClient.FuturesApi.Trading - futures orders, positions, leverage, user trades, order history
  • socketClient.SpotApi - spot WebSocket v2 subscriptions and socket order requests
  • socketClient.FuturesApi - futures WebSocket subscriptions

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
