- Business, Finance & HR work in your project
Example prompts
- “/recipe-basis-trade-entry”
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Get spot price: SPOT=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price')
- Get futures price: FUTURES=$(kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.ticker.last')
- Calculate basis: BASIS=$(echo "scale=4; ($FUTURES - $SPOT) / $SPOT * 100" | bc)
- If basis < target threshold (e.g., 0.5% annualized), skip
- Check spot balance for capital: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
- Check futures margin availability: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
- Calculate matched position sizes
- Execute spot buy (requires human approval): kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.01 --type limit --price $SPOT -o json 2>/dev/null
- Execute futures short: kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD 1 --type limit --price $FUTURES -o json 2>/dev/null
- Verify both legs filled: kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null + kraken futures open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
- If one leg unfilled, cancel it to avoid directional exposure
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
Recipe Basis Trade Entry loads about 465 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 219 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Basis Trade Entry
PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe:
kraken-basis-trading,kraken-futures-risk
Enter a delta-neutral basis trade (long spot, short futures) when the basis premium is attractive.
CAUTION: Both legs must fill to be market-neutral. A single-leg fill is a directional bet.
Steps
- Get spot price:
SPOT=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price') - Get futures price:
FUTURES=$(kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.ticker.last') - Calculate basis:
BASIS=$(echo "scale=4; ($FUTURES - $SPOT) / $SPOT * 100" | bc) - If basis < target threshold (e.g., 0.5% annualized), skip
- Check spot balance for capital:
kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null - Check futures margin availability:
kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null - Calculate matched position sizes
- Execute spot buy (requires human approval):
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.01 --type limit --price $SPOT -o json 2>/dev/null - Execute futures short:
kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD 1 --type limit --price $FUTURES -o json 2>/dev/null - Verify both legs filled:
kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null+kraken futures open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null - If one leg unfilled, cancel it to avoid directional exposure
