recipe-funding-rate-scan

recipe-funding-rate-scan is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 17 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recipe for checking cryptocurrency perpetual contracts, which are futures without an expiry date, for funding-rate opportunities. It uses Kraken data to compare rates, prices, and account margin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing contracts, ranking funding rates by estimated yearly return, checking whether rates are consistent, and estimating direction and margin needs.
Why use it?
It organizes several market and account checks that would otherwise be done manually. It helps identify whether recurring funding payments may support a hedged trading strategy.

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

recipe-funding-rate-scan 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 12d 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

Funding Rate Scan

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: kraken-funding-carry, kraken-futures-risk

Scan available perpetual contracts, identify those with high funding rates, and evaluate carry potential.

Steps

  1. List all futures contracts: kraken futures instruments -o json 2>/dev/null
  2. Get all tickers: kraken futures tickers -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Check funding rates for top-volume contracts:
    • kraken futures historical-funding-rates PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
    • kraken futures historical-funding-rates PF_ETHUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
    • kraken futures historical-funding-rates PF_SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Rank by annualized yield (rate * periods_per_year * 100)
  5. Filter for consistently positive or negative rates (avoid noisy oscillations)
  6. Check spot price for hedge calculation: kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  7. Check futures account margin: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
  8. Present ranked opportunities with annualized yield, direction, and required margin

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.

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.
