What it does

Zerodha Kite is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Zerodha Kite Connect: holdings, positions, orders, live quotes

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

“/zerodha-kite”

Requirements

A credential in KITE_API_KEY
A credential in KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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 (its code samples are powershell).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.kite.trade
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- KITE_API_KEY
- KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Zerodha Kite loads about 939 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~939

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.

Zerodha Kite

Access your Zerodha account via the Kite Connect REST API — fetch portfolio, live quotes, place orders, and check order history. Requires a Kite Connect API subscription.

When to Use

User wants to see their Zerodha holdings or current positions
User asks for a live quote on an NSE/BSE stock
User wants to place, modify, or cancel an order
User asks about today's P&L or order history
User wants to check available margin or funds

How to Use

Set up API credentials

powershell

$env:KITE_API_KEY    = "your_api_key"
$env:KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_access_token"  # Obtained after daily login flow
$baseUrl = "https://api.kite.trade"
$headers = @{
  "X-Kite-Version" = "3"
  "Authorization"  = "token $($env:KITE_API_KEY):$($env:KITE_ACCESS_TOKEN)"
}

Get holdings (long-term portfolio)

powershell

$holdings = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/portfolio/holdings" -Headers $headers
$holdings.data | Select-Object tradingsymbol, quantity, average_price, last_price,
  @{N='PnL';E={[math]::Round(($_.last_price - $_.average_price) * $_.quantity, 2)}}

Get today's positions (intraday / F&O)

powershell

$positions = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/portfolio/positions" -Headers $headers
$positions.data.net | Select-Object tradingsymbol, quantity, average_price, last_price, pnl

Get live quote

powershell

$symbols = "NSE:RELIANCE,NSE:INFY,NSE:TCS"
$quote = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/quote?i=$symbols" -Headers $headers
$quote.data.PSObject.Properties | ForEach-Object {
  [PSCustomObject]@{
    Symbol = $_.Name
    LTP    = $_.Value.last_price
    Change = $_.Value.net_change
    Volume = $_.Value.volume
  }
}

Get available funds/margin

powershell

$margins = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/user/margins" -Headers $headers
$margins.data.equity | Select-Object available, utilised, net

Place a market order

powershell

$orderBody = @{
  tradingsymbol = "RELIANCE"
  exchange      = "NSE"
  transaction_type = "BUY"
  order_type    = "MARKET"
  quantity      = 1
  product       = "CNC"   # CNC = delivery, MIS = intraday, NRML = F&O
}
$resp = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/orders/regular" `
  -Method POST -Headers $headers -Body $orderBody
Write-Host "Order ID: $($resp.data.order_id)"

Get order history

powershell

$orders = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/orders" -Headers $headers
$orders.data | Select-Object order_id, tradingsymbol, transaction_type,
  quantity, price, status, order_timestamp |
  Sort-Object order_timestamp -Descending

Examples

"Show me my Zerodha portfolio with current P&L" → Fetch /portfolio/holdings, calculate P&L per position, sum for total portfolio gain/loss.

"What's the current price of HDFC Bank?" → GET /quote?i=NSE:HDFCBANK — returns LTP, OHLC, volume, and circuit limits.

"Place a buy order for 1 share of Infosys at market price" → POST to /orders/regular with INFY, NSE, BUY, MARKET, qty 1, product CNC.

Cautions

Kite Connect requires a paid API subscription (₹2000/month) — confirm with the user before attempting API calls
The access token expires daily and must be regenerated via the login flow each morning
Always confirm order details with the user before placing — orders execute immediately at market price
Use product: CNC for delivery equity trades, MIS for intraday, NRML for F&O overnight positions
Paper-trade or test with small quantities before automating larger orders
