kraken-playground

kraken-playground is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,026 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A paper-trading sandbox that records live market data and simulated decisions in a workspace session. Paper trading means testing trades without placing real orders or risking real money.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a time-limited hypothesis, record market and order data, replay a session, and score the simulated outcome.
Why use it?
It lets you evaluate a trading idea afterward using recorded prices, simulated fills, decisions, and profit-and-loss results.

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-playground 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.

kraken-playground

A session ties a market recorder and the workspace's paper account to one window. Live prices stream in and get recorded as the session's tape, paper orders fill against those prices on the shared account journal, and every decision is logged, so the window can be replayed and analyzed later. No real order is ever placed inside a paper workspace.

Use this skill for:

  • running a paper-trading hypothesis on live prices with no real money
  • recording ticker, trade, and book data alongside paper fills and decision reasons
  • driving an agent hypothesis over a window at a fixed cadence
  • replaying a session and computing P&L after the fact

The One-Command Demo

kraken playground is the fastest way in: it creates (or reuses, never re-funding) a paper workspace named playground with 10,000 USD, prints how to watch it, and starts a recorded, self-stopping demo session:

kraken playground --symbols BTC/USD --for 1h 2>/dev/null &
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=playground

Everything it makes is a plain workspace plus a session — the commands below drive it like any other scope.

What a Session Is

A session is a recorded window over the active scope's account journal. One session id (s1, s2, …) binds three things: the recorder (live market data to sessions/s<n>/tape.*), the window markers on the account journal (which trades belong to the session), and the session's decision log (the "why" behind each action). There is no daemon and no shared memory between rounds. State lives on disk, and each round reads what it needs.

The CLI has no scheduler and runs no strategy. It records, fills paper orders, and logs. The agent decides, and something external holds the pace (see Pacing).

Start a Session

Work inside a paper workspace (create one once with kraken workspace create <name> --capital 10000 --mode paper), then:

export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=<name>

kraken session start \
  --symbols BTC/USD --channels ticker,trade --to duckdb,jsonl \
  --label my-hypothesis-r1 \
  -o json 2>/dev/null &
