What it does

Kraken Twap Execution is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Execute large orders as time-weighted slices to reduce market impact.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 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 Rate limiting. 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 Rate limiting

Example prompts

  • “/kraken-twap-execution”

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 Twap Execution loads about 875 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 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
~875

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.

Execute large orders as time-weighted slices to reduce market impact.
version
1.0.0

kraken-twap-execution

Use this skill for:

  • breaking a large order into smaller time-spaced slices
  • reducing market impact and slippage on size
  • executing over minutes, hours, or days
  • tracking average fill price across slices

Core Concept

Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) splits a large order into N equal slices executed at regular intervals. The goal is to achieve an average price close to the time-weighted market average, reducing the impact a single large order would have on the book.

Parameters

  • Total volume: the full amount to buy or sell
  • Slices: number of child orders (e.g., 10)
  • Interval: time between slices (e.g., 60s, 300s)
  • Slice volume: total volume / slices

Paper TWAP Test

bash
kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 50000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox

# Simulate 5 slices of 0.01 BTC each, 60s apart
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
# wait 60s
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
# wait 60s
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
# repeat...

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

Live TWAP Loop

The agent runs this loop externally (the CLI does not have a built-in scheduler):

bash
TOTAL_VOLUME=0.05
SLICES=5
SLICE_VOL=$(echo "scale=8; $TOTAL_VOLUME / $SLICES" | bc)
INTERVAL=60

for i in $(seq 1 $SLICES); do
  kraken order buy BTCUSD $SLICE_VOL --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
  [ $i -lt $SLICES ] && sleep $INTERVAL
done

Limit-Order TWAP Variant

Use limit orders at the current best bid/ask for potentially better fills:

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

Check fill status before the next slice. Cancel unfilled orders and adjust:

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

Tracking Average Fill

After all slices, compute the volume-weighted average price from trade history:

bash
kraken trades-history --consolidate-taker -o json 2>/dev/null

Sum (price * volume) for each fill, divide by total volume filled.

Rate Limit Awareness

The CLI does not pre-throttle requests. If a slice submission hits a rate limit, the error includes a suggestion field with tier-specific limits and a docs_url pointing to Kraken's documentation. On rate_limit error, pause the loop, read the suggestion, and adjust the interval before resuming. A 60-second interval between slices is well within budget for all tiers. For shorter intervals, consult the kraken-rate-limits skill for per-tier counter costs and decay rates.

Hard Rules

  • Each live slice requires human approval unless operating at autonomy level 4+.
  • Track cumulative fill volume and stop if total exceeds target (handle partial fills).
  • On error, pause the loop rather than skipping the slice; resume after recovery.
  • Log every slice for post-execution analysis.
  • 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.
