What it does

Recipe Start Dca Bot is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Set up and run a dollar cost averaging bot from paper test to live.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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. 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

  • Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/recipe-start-dca-bot”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Calculate volume from dollar amount: PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price') && VOLUME=$(echo "scale=8…
  2. Run 5 paper DCA buys to validate the loop: kraken paper buy BTCUSD $VOLUME -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Check paper results: kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Review paper trade history: kraken paper history -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Verify live credentials: kraken auth test -o json 2>/dev/null
  6. Check live balance: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
  7. Validate the live order: kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
  8. Execute first live buy (requires human approval): kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
  9. Verify fill: kraken trades-history -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 Start Dca Bot loads about 460 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~460

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.

Start a DCA Bot

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: kraken-dca-strategy, kraken-paper-to-live

Set up a dollar cost averaging bot that buys a fixed dollar amount of BTC at regular intervals.

CAUTION: Live orders spend real money. Paper-test first, then promote with explicit approval.

Steps

  1. Initialize paper account: kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox
  2. Calculate volume from dollar amount: PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price') && VOLUME=$(echo "scale=8; 100 / $PRICE" | bc)
  3. Run 5 paper DCA buys to validate the loop: kraken paper buy BTCUSD $VOLUME -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Check paper results: kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Review paper trade history: kraken paper history -o json 2>/dev/null
  6. Verify live credentials: kraken auth test -o json 2>/dev/null
  7. Check live balance: kraken balance -o json 2>/dev/null
  8. Validate the live order: kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
  9. Execute first live buy (requires human approval): kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
  10. Verify fill: kraken trades-history -o json 2>/dev/null
