Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 5 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00022 | $0.01267 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00633 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00253 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
kraken-autonomy-levels 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
kraken-autonomy-levels
Use this skill to help a trader move from hands-on CLI usage to fully autonomous agent trading in safe, incremental steps.
Level 1: Read-Only Agent
The agent reads market data and account state. No API key needed for public data; a query-only key for account data.
Kraken API key permissions: Query Funds, Query Open Orders & Trades
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="query-only-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="query-only-secret"
kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
The agent can inform, alert, and recommend. It cannot place orders, cancel orders, or move funds.
Level 2: Paper Trading Agent
The agent tests strategies against live prices with zero risk. No API key needed.
kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace reset -o json --yes 2>/dev/null
Run paper strategies repeatedly. Compare results across parameter changes. Only move to Level 3 after consistent paper performance.
Level 3: Supervised Trading Agent
The agent places real orders, but a human confirms each one. The API key has trading permissions, but the agent validates before executing and waits for human approval.
Kraken API key permissions: Query Funds, Create & Modify Orders, Cancel/Close Orders
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="trade-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="trade-secret"
# Step 1: Agent validates the order (no submission)
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
# Step 2: Agent presents the validated order to the human
# Step 3: Human approves or rejects
# Step 4: Agent executes only after approval
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 -o json 2>/dev/null
Safety controls at this level:
- Always
--validatebefore executing - Always enable the dead man's switch for the session:
kraken order cancel-after 300 -o json - Check
open-ordersafter every trade to verify state
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.

kraken-autonomy-levels is a skill published in the GitHub repository krakenfx/kraken-cli (714 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,267 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
