kraken-market-intel

Use this skill to answer questions like:

• "What is the current BTCUSD price?"
• "Is spread widening?"
• "What is short-term trend from candles?"

Snapshot Pattern

kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken orderbook BTCUSD --count 10 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken ohlc BTCUSD --interval 60 -o json 2>/dev/null

Streaming Pattern

kraken ws ticker BTC/USD -o json 2>/dev/null

Parse NDJSON line by line. Do not treat stream output as one JSON object.

Context Efficiency

• Prefer one pair at a time unless comparison is needed.
• Use --count and --depth flags to limit payload size.
• Prefer streaming over high-frequency polling.

Typical Output Use

• Ticker: last price, bid, ask
• Orderbook: near-book depth and imbalance
• OHLC: trend and volatility windows
