What it does

Recipe Drawdown Circuit Breaker is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Automatically stop trading when portfolio drawdown exceeds a threshold.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 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

  • “/recipe-drawdown-circuit-breaker”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Record starting portfolio value: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null + kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null (calculate…
  2. Set this as the high-water mark
  3. On each check interval (at least 5 seconds; see kraken-rate-limits for tier budgets)
  4. If drawdown exceeds threshold (e.g., 10%)
  5. Present drawdown report: peak value, current value, drawdown percentage, orders cancelled
  6. Cancel operations require explicit human approval unless operating at autonomy level 4+
  7. Wait for explicit user instruction before resuming any trading activity

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.

    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 Drawdown Circuit Breaker loads about 434 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~434

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.

Drawdown Circuit Breaker

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: kraken-risk-operations, kraken-alert-patterns

Monitor portfolio value and halt trading if cumulative drawdown from peak exceeds a limit (e.g., 10%).

Steps

  1. Record starting portfolio value: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null + kraken ticker BTCUSD ETHUSD SOLUSD -o json 2>/dev/null (calculate total USD value)
  2. Set this as the high-water mark
  3. On each check interval (at least 5 seconds; see kraken-rate-limits for tier budgets):
    • Recalculate total portfolio value
    • Update high-water mark if value exceeds previous peak
    • Calculate drawdown: (peak - current) / peak * 100
  4. If drawdown exceeds threshold (e.g., 10%):
    • Alert the user immediately
    • Cancel all open orders: kraken order cancel-all -o json 2>/dev/null
    • Cancel all futures orders: kraken futures cancel-all -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Present drawdown report: peak value, current value, drawdown percentage, orders cancelled
  6. Cancel operations require explicit human approval unless operating at autonomy level 4+
  7. Wait for explicit user instruction before resuming any trading activity
