At a glance

Read market state with low-noise data pulls and streaming updates.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Kraken Market Intel is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Read market state with low-noise data pulls and streaming updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 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. 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

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/kraken-market-intel”

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 Market Intel loads about 319 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~319

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.

version
1.0.0

kraken-market-intel

Use this skill to answer questions like:

  • "What is the current BTCUSD price?"
  • "Is spread widening?"
  • "What is short-term trend from candles?"

Snapshot Pattern

bash
kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken orderbook BTCUSD --count 10 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken ohlc BTCUSD --interval 60 -o json 2>/dev/null

Streaming Pattern

bash
kraken ws ticker BTC/USD -o json 2>/dev/null

Parse NDJSON line by line. Do not treat stream output as one JSON object.

Context Efficiency

  • Prefer one pair at a time unless comparison is needed.
  • Use --count and --depth flags to limit payload size.
  • Prefer streaming over high-frequency polling.

Typical Output Use

  • Ticker: last price, bid, ask
  • Orderbook: near-book depth and imbalance
  • OHLC: trend and volatility windows

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.
