What it does

Kraken Rebalancing is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Portfolio rebalancing to maintain target allocations across assets.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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-rebalancing”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get balances
  2. Get current prices for all held assets
  3. Calculate USD value of each holding and total portfolio value.
  4. Compute current weights: asset_value / total_value for each.

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 Rebalancing loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 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
~963

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-rebalancing

Use this skill for:

  • checking current portfolio allocation vs target weights
  • calculating rebalance trades
  • executing rebalance orders with minimum trade thresholds
  • scheduling periodic rebalance checks

Define Target Allocation

Example target: 50% BTC, 30% ETH, 20% SOL (by USD value).

The agent maintains these weights and compares against current holdings.

Read Current Portfolio

  1. Get balances:
    bash
    kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
  2. Get current prices for all held assets:
    bash
    kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Calculate USD value of each holding and total portfolio value.
  4. Compute current weights: asset_value / total_value for each.

Calculate Rebalance Trades

For each asset:

  • Target value = total_portfolio * target_weight
  • Current value = holdings * current_price
  • Delta = target_value - current_value
  • If delta > threshold: buy (delta / price) units
  • If delta < -threshold: sell (|delta| / price) units

Set a minimum trade threshold (e.g., $50) to avoid placing tiny orders that waste fees.

Paper Rebalance Test

bash
kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox

# Initial buys to establish positions
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.05 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy ETHUSD 1.0 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy SOLUSD 10 -o json 2>/dev/null

kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

# After price drift, rebalance
# Sell overweight asset, buy underweight asset
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.005 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy SOLUSD 2 -o json 2>/dev/null

kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

Live Rebalance Execution

  1. Calculate all required trades.
  2. Present the rebalance plan to the user:
    • Current allocation vs target
    • Proposed trades with estimated fees
  3. Validate each order:
    bash
    kraken order sell BTCUSD 0.005 --type market --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
    kraken order buy SOLUSD 2 --type market --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Execute sells first (to free capital), then buys (requires human approval):
    bash
    kraken order sell BTCUSD 0.005 --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
    kraken order buy SOLUSD 2 --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Verify final state:
    bash
    kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null

Drift Detection

Periodically compare current weights to targets. Trigger rebalance when any asset drifts beyond a threshold (e.g., 5% absolute drift):

bash
# Agent checks balance and prices on a schedule
# If |current_weight - target_weight| > 0.05 for any asset → rebalance

Rebalance with Limit Orders

For lower fees, use limit orders instead of market:

bash
PRICE=$(kraken ticker SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].ask_price')
kraken order buy SOLUSD 2 --type limit --price $PRICE -o json 2>/dev/null

Check fills before declaring rebalance complete:

bash
kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null

Hard Rules

  • Never execute rebalance trades without explicit human approval.
  • Always present the full rebalance plan (sells and buys) before execution.
  • Execute sells before buys to ensure sufficient quote currency.
  • Respect minimum order sizes for each pair (check pair info with kraken pairs).
  • Apply a minimum trade threshold to skip negligible adjustments.
  • 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.
