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-market-intel 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

kraken-market-intel

Use this skill to answer questions like:

  • "What is the current BTCUSD price?"
  • "Is spread widening?"
  • "What is short-term trend from candles?"

Snapshot Pattern

kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken orderbook BTCUSD --count 10 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken ohlc BTCUSD --interval 60 -o json 2>/dev/null

Streaming Pattern

kraken ws ticker BTC/USD -o json 2>/dev/null

Parse NDJSON line by line. Do not treat stream output as one JSON object.

Context Efficiency

  • Prefer one pair at a time unless comparison is needed.
  • Use --count and --depth flags to limit payload size.
  • Prefer streaming over high-frequency polling.

Typical Output Use

  • Ticker: last price, bid, ask
  • Orderbook: near-book depth and imbalance
  • OHLC: trend and volatility windows

Changes

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.
