What it does

Kraken Multi Pair is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Monitor multiple trading pairs simultaneously for screening and comparison.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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-multi-pair”

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq

    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 Multi Pair loads about 759 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~759

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-multi-pair

Use this skill for:

  • screening multiple pairs at once (price, spread, volume)
  • comparing relative performance across assets
  • building watchlists for agent-driven monitoring
  • identifying opportunity across a pair universe

Multi-Pair Ticker Snapshot

Pass multiple pairs to a single ticker call:

bash
kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD DOTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null

The response contains one object per pair. Extract and compare:

bash
kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq 'to_entries[] | {pair: .key, last: .value.last_price, volume: .value.volume_24h}'

Multi-Pair Streaming

Stream tickers for several pairs simultaneously:

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

Each NDJSON line includes a pair identifier. Route updates by pair in the agent loop:

bash
kraken ws ticker BTC/USD ETH/USD SOL/USD -o json 2>/dev/null | while read -r line; do
  PAIR=$(echo "$line" | jq -r '.data[0].symbol // empty')
  LAST=$(echo "$line" | jq -r '.data[0].last // empty')
  [ -n "$PAIR" ] && echo "$PAIR: $LAST"
done

Pair Discovery

List all tradable pairs:

bash
kraken pairs -o json 2>/dev/null

Filter to USD-quoted pairs for a consistent base:

bash
kraken pairs -o json 2>/dev/null | jq '[to_entries[] | select(.key | endswith("USD")) | .key]'

Spread Comparison

Compare bid-ask spreads across pairs to gauge liquidity:

bash
kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq 'to_entries[] | {pair: .key, spread: (.value.ask_price - .value.bid_price)}'

Volume Screening

Identify high-volume pairs from a watchlist:

bash
kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD ADAUSD DOTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq 'to_entries | sort_by(-.value.volume_24h) | .[] | {pair: .key, vol_24h: .value.volume_24h}'

Futures Multi-Symbol

Monitor multiple futures contracts:

bash
kraken futures tickers -o json 2>/dev/null

Stream multiple futures tickers:

bash
kraken futures ws ticker PF_XBTUSD PF_ETHUSD -o json 2>/dev/null

Watchlist Pattern

Define a watchlist as a space-separated string and reuse across commands:

bash
WATCHLIST="BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD ADAUSD DOTUSD"
kraken ticker $WATCHLIST -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken ws ticker $WATCHLIST -o json 2>/dev/null

Context Efficiency

  • Batch pairs into a single command instead of one call per pair.
  • Use streaming for continuous monitoring; use REST snapshots for periodic checks.
  • Limit watchlist size to reduce context window consumption when passing results to an agent.

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.
