What it does
Kraken Autonomy Levels is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Progress from manual trading to full agent autonomy with controlled risk at each level.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: The first AI-native CLI for trading crypto, stocks, forex, and derivatives. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting
Example prompts
- “/kraken-autonomy-levels”
Requirements
- A credential in KRAKEN_API_KEY
- A credential in KRAKEN_API_SECRET
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Restricted API key. Never use a key with withdrawal permissions for an autonomous agent. Create a key that can trade but cannot withdraw…
- Dead man's switch. Start every session with cancel-after so all orders auto-cancel if the agent crashes or disconnects
- Position limits in agent code. The CLI does not enforce position size or frequency limits. Build these in your agent logic
- Error handling. Autonomous agents must handle every error category
- Monitoring. Run a separate read-only agent (Level 1) that monitors positions and alerts the trader if thresholds are breached.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa56e59. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
KRAKEN_API_KEYKRAKEN_API_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Kraken Autonomy Levels loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

kraken-autonomy-levels
Use this skill to help a trader move from hands-on CLI usage to fully autonomous agent trading in safe, incremental steps.
Level 1: Read-Only Agent
The agent reads market data and account state. No API key needed for public data; a query-only key for account data.
Kraken API key permissions: Query Funds, Query Open Orders & Trades
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="query-only-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="query-only-secret"
kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/nullThe agent can inform, alert, and recommend. It cannot place orders, cancel orders, or move funds.
Level 2: Paper Trading Agent
The agent tests strategies against live prices with zero risk. No API key needed.
kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace reset -o json --yes 2>/dev/nullRun paper strategies repeatedly. Compare results across parameter changes. Only move to Level 3 after consistent paper performance.
Level 3: Supervised Trading Agent
The agent places real orders, but a human confirms each one. The API key has trading permissions, but the agent validates before executing and waits for human approval.
Kraken API key permissions: Query Funds, Create & Modify Orders, Cancel/Close Orders
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="trade-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="trade-secret"
# Step 1: Agent validates the order (no submission)
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
# Step 2: Agent presents the validated order to the human
# Step 3: Human approves or rejects
# Step 4: Agent executes only after approval
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 -o json 2>/dev/nullSafety controls at this level:
- Always
--validatebefore executing - Always enable the dead man's switch for the session:
kraken order cancel-after 300 -o json - Check
open-ordersafter every trade to verify state
Level 4: Autonomous Trading Agent
The agent trades independently. No human in the loop. The trader trusts the agent and its strategy.
Kraken API key permissions: Create & Modify Orders, Cancel/Close Orders, Query Funds
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="full-trade-key"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="full-trade-secret"The agent passes --yes to skip confirmation prompts and operates on its own schedule.
Required safeguards at this level:
Restricted API key. Never use a key with withdrawal permissions for an autonomous agent. Create a key that can trade but cannot withdraw funds.
Dead man's switch. Start every session with
cancel-afterso all orders auto-cancel if the agent crashes or disconnects:bash kraken order cancel-after 600 -o json 2>/dev/nullRefresh periodically. If the agent stops refreshing, all orders cancel.
Position limits in agent code. The CLI does not enforce position size or frequency limits. Build these in your agent logic:
- Maximum order size per trade
- Maximum open positions
- Maximum trades per hour
- Pair allowlist (only trade specific pairs)
Error handling. Autonomous agents must handle every error category:
rate_limit: back off, reduce frequencynetwork: retry with backoff, do not double-submit ordersauth: stop trading, alert the tradervalidation: log and skip, do not retry unchanged
Monitoring. Run a separate read-only agent (Level 1) that monitors positions and alerts the trader if thresholds are breached.

Level 5: Autonomous Agent with Fund Management
The agent can also move funds (deposits, withdrawals, transfers between wallets). This is the highest trust level.
Kraken API key permissions: All permissions including Withdraw Funds
This level is rare and high-risk. Only appropriate when:
- The agent manages a treasury or rebalances across exchanges
- The withdrawal addresses are pre-approved and whitelisted in Kraken's account settings
- Kraken's withdrawal address lock is enabled (prevents adding new addresses via API)
Choosing the Right Level
| Level | Agent can | Human involvement | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Read data | None | Zero |
| 2 | Paper trade | None | Zero |
| 3 | Trade with approval | Confirms every order | Low |
| 4 | Trade autonomously | Monitors, intervenes if needed | Medium |
| 5 | Trade and move funds | Monitors | High |
Progression Rule
Move to the next level only after the agent demonstrates consistent behavior at the current level. Paper trading (Level 2) for at least a week before supervised trading (Level 3). Supervised trading for at least a week before autonomous (Level 4).
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.
