kraken-spot-execution

kraken-spot-execution is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 22 tokens per session (397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guarded workflow for placing buy and sell orders on Kraken's spot market, where cryptocurrencies are traded for other currencies. It validates an order, requires explicit human approval, executes it, and checks whether it was placed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate and place spot limit orders, inspect open orders and trade history, cancel orders, and set a Kraken dead-man switch that cancels orders after a chosen timeout.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes and prevents a live trade from being sent without confirmation or post-trade checking.

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-spot-execution 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.

What it actually says

kraken-spot-execution

Use this skill for:

  • placing spot buy or sell orders
  • validating order payloads before submit
  • checking open orders and trade history

Safe Execution Flow

  1. Read price:
    kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Validate order:
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  3. Ask for explicit human confirmation.
  4. Execute order:
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  5. Verify placement:
    kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
    

Cancel and Safety

  • Cancel one:
    kraken order cancel <TXID> -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  • Dead-man switch:
    kraken order cancel-after 60 -o json 2>/dev/null
    

Hard Rules

  • Never execute live order commands without explicit user approval.
  • Route failures by .error category.
  • On rate_limit, read suggestion and docs_url fields, then adapt strategy.
  • If you hit a mismatch between what you are trying to do and the CLI's interface or responses — including a mismatch between this skill and the installed CLI version's contract — feel free to submit feedback with kraken feedback.
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.
