What it does

Recipe Launch Grid Bot is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Deploy a grid trading bot with paper validation and live safety controls.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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-launch-grid-bot”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get current price: PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price')
  2. Compute grid levels (e.g., 3 levels at $1000 spacing): BUY1=$(echo "$PRICE - 1000" | bc), BUY2=$(echo "$PRICE - 2000" | bc), BUY3=$(echo…
  3. Paper-test the grid: `kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -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 Launch Grid Bot loads about 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582

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.

Launch a Grid Bot

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: kraken-grid-trading, kraken-paper-to-live

Deploy a grid of buy and sell orders across a price range.

CAUTION: Grids profit in ranging markets but lose in strong trends. Always paper-test first.

Steps

  1. Get current price: PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price')
  2. Compute grid levels (e.g., 3 levels at $1000 spacing): BUY1=$(echo "$PRICE - 1000" | bc), BUY2=$(echo "$PRICE - 2000" | bc), BUY3=$(echo "$PRICE - 3000" | bc), SELL1=$(echo "$PRICE + 1000" | bc), SELL2=$(echo "$PRICE + 2000" | bc), SELL3=$(echo "$PRICE + 3000" | bc)
  3. Paper-test the grid: kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox
  4. Place paper buy levels: kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price $BUY1 -o json 2>/dev/null (repeat for BUY2, BUY3)
  5. Place paper sell levels: kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price $SELL1 -o json 2>/dev/null (repeat for SELL2, SELL3)
  6. Monitor paper fills: kraken paper orders -o json 2>/dev/null
  7. Review paper results: kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
  8. Pre-flight live: kraken auth test -o json 2>/dev/null && kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
  9. Enable dead man's switch: kraken order cancel-after 3600 -o json 2>/dev/null
  10. Validate live grid orders: kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price $BUY1 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
  11. Place live grid (requires human approval): place buy and sell levels sequentially using $BUY1-3 and $SELL1-3
  12. Monitor fills: kraken ws executions -o json 2>/dev/null
  13. Replace filled levels: when a buy fills, place a sell one level up, and vice versa
