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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kraken Liquidation Guard loads about 838 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~838

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.

description: Prevent futures liquidation through margin monitoring and emergency procedures.
version: 1.0.0

kraken-liquidation-guard

Use this skill for:

monitoring margin ratio to detect liquidation risk
automated position reduction when thresholds are breached
emergency flatten procedures
proactive margin top-up patterns

Margin Health Check

bash

kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null

Key fields:

equity: total account value
initialMargin: margin held for positions
maintenanceMargin: minimum margin before liquidation
availableFunds: free margin for new positions

Margin ratio = maintenanceMargin / equity. Liquidation approaches as this ratio nears 1.0.

Alert Thresholds

Ratio	Status	Action
< 0.3	Healthy	Normal operation
0.3 - 0.5	Caution	Reduce position or add margin
0.5 - 0.7	Warning	Reduce position immediately
> 0.7	Critical	Emergency flatten

Monitoring Loop

bash

kraken futures ws balances -o json 2>/dev/null | while read -r line; do
  # Parse equity and maintenanceMargin
  # Calculate ratio
  # Alert or act when threshold is breached
done

Or poll periodically:

bash

kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null

Unwind Queue Check

If a position enters the unwind queue, liquidation is imminent:

bash

kraken futures unwind-queue -o json 2>/dev/null

Any result here requires immediate action.

Emergency Flatten

Cancel all open orders, then close all positions:

bash

# Cancel all orders to free held margin
kraken futures cancel-all --yes -o json 2>/dev/null

# Close each position with reduce-only market orders
kraken futures positions -o json 2>/dev/null
# For each position:
kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD <SIZE> --reduce-only -o json 2>/dev/null

Margin Top-Up

Transfer funds from spot wallet to futures to increase margin:

bash

kraken futures transfer 5000 USD -o json 2>/dev/null

Or from main account:

bash

kraken wallet-transfer USD 5000 --from <SPOT_IIBAN> --to <FUTURES_IIBAN> -o json 2>/dev/null

Leverage Reduction

Lower leverage to reduce margin requirements:

bash

kraken futures set-leverage PF_XBTUSD 2 -o json 2>/dev/null

Dead Man's Switch

Always run a dead man's switch during futures sessions:

bash

kraken futures cancel-after 600 -o json 2>/dev/null

If the agent crashes, orders auto-cancel, preventing further margin consumption.

Hard Rules

Monitor margin ratio continuously during any futures session.
Alert at 0.5 ratio; act at 0.7. Do not wait for the exchange to liquidate.
Emergency flatten requires human approval unless the agent operates at autonomy level 4+.
Never increase position size when margin ratio is above 0.3.
futures set-leverage is flagged dangerous: it changes the margin requirement on open positions, so de-risking with it needs the same human approval as flattening.
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.
