Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check spot balance: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
- Get spot price: kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
- Get futures price: kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
- Check futures margin availability: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
- Calculate matching futures size: BTC_BAL=$(kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.BTC // "0"') and FUT_PRICE=$(kraken futures ticker…
- Open short futures position (requires human approval): kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD $BTC_BAL --type limit --price $FUT_PRICE -o…
- Verify the position: kraken futures positions -o json 2>/dev/null
- Enable dead man's switch: kraken futures cancel-after 3600 -o json 2>/dev/null
- Monitor margin: kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null
- To remove hedge, close futures: kraken futures order buy PF_XBTUSD $BTC_BAL --reduce-only -o json 2>/dev/null
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 Futures Hedge Spot loads about 476 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 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.

kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null - Check futures margin availability:
kraken futures accounts -o json 2>/dev/null - Calculate matching futures size:
BTC_BAL=$(kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.BTC // "0"')andFUT_PRICE=$(kraken futures ticker PF_XBTUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.ticker.last') - Open short futures position (requires human approval):
kraken futures order sell PF_XBTUSD $BTC_BAL --type limit --price $FUT_PRICE -o json 2>/dev/null - Verify the position:
kraken futures positions -o json 2>/dev/null - Enable dead man's switch:
kraken futures cancel-after 3600 -o json 2>/dev/null - Monitor margin:
