Workflow steps

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

  1. Get current price: kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
  2. Enter position (requires human approval): kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.01 --type market -o json 2>/dev/null
  3. Verify fill: kraken trades-history -o json 2>/dev/null
  4. Set trailing stop (e.g., $500 trail distance): kraken order sell BTCUSD 0.01 --type trailing-stop --price +500 -o json 2>/dev/null
  5. Verify stop is placed: kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
  6. Monitor via stream: kraken ws ticker BTC/USD -o json 2>/dev/null

  8. Report entry price, exit price, and net P&L

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 Trailing Stop Runner loads about 362 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 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
~362

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.
