recipe-futures-hedge-spot

recipe-futures-hedge-spot is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 24 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trading procedure that protects a spot Bitcoin holding by opening a matching short futures position. Spot means owning the asset directly; a short futures position can gain value when its price falls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check spot and futures balances and prices, calculate a matching position, request approval for the order, verify the position, set a one-hour cancellation safeguard, and monitor margin.
Why use it?
It can reduce the effect of a Bitcoin price drop and lock in the holding's current value. It also limits gains if Bitcoin rises and requires futures margin.

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-futures-hedge-spot 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 13d 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

Hedge Spot with Futures

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: kraken-spot-execution, kraken-futures-trading, kraken-futures-risk

Protect a spot BTC holding from downside by shorting an equivalent futures position.

CAUTION: This locks in current value but also caps upside. Futures margin requirements apply.

Steps

  1. Check spot balance: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
  2. Get spot price: kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Get futures price: kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Check futures margin availability: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Calculate matching futures size: BTC_BAL=$(kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.BTC // "0"') and FUT_PRICE=$(kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.ticker.last')
  6. Open short futures position (requires human approval): kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD $BTC_BAL --type limit --price $FUT_PRICE -o json 2>/dev/null
  7. Verify the position: kraken futures positions -o json 2>/dev/null
  8. Enable dead man's switch: kraken futures cancel-after 3600 -o json 2>/dev/null
  9. Monitor margin: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
  10. To remove hedge, close futures: kraken futures order buy PF_XBTUSD $BTC_BAL --reduce-only -o json 2>/dev/null
