What it does

Kraken Spot Execution is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Execute spot orders with validation, confirmation gates, and post-trade checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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-spot-execution”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read price
  2. Validate order
  3. Ask for explicit human confirmation.
  4. Execute order
  5. Verify placement

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 Spot Execution loads about 370 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~370

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-spot-execution

Use this skill for:

  • placing spot buy or sell orders
  • validating order payloads before submit
  • checking open orders and trade history

Safe Execution Flow

  1. Read price:
    bash
    kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  2. Validate order:
    bash
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Ask for explicit human confirmation.
  4. Execute order:
    bash
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 50000 -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Verify placement:
    bash
    kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null

Cancel and Safety

  • Cancel one:
    bash
    kraken order cancel <TXID> -o json 2>/dev/null
  • Dead-man switch:
    bash
    kraken order cancel-after 60 -o json 2>/dev/null

Hard Rules

  • Never execute live order commands without explicit user approval.
  • Route failures by .error category.
  • On rate_limit, read suggestion and docs_url fields, then adapt strategy.
  • 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.
