kraken-pro

What This Skill Does

The kraken-pro skill is a robust interface for the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange, allowing users to interact with their accounts directly via the OpenClaw CLI. This skill serves as a comprehensive bridge between the terminal and the Kraken REST API, utilizing the python-kraken-sdk. It covers a wide range of financial operations, including portfolio management, real-time market data retrieval, trade execution, staking (Earn) management, and detailed ledger exports for tax purposes. Whether you need a quick glance at your net worth, wish to execute a limit order, or require a CSV export of your trading history for accounting, kraken-pro streamlines these tasks into simple, repeatable CLI commands.

Installation

To get started, clone or fetch the skill using the OpenClaw hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/in-liberty420/kraken-pro. Once installed, navigate to the skill directory and run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the necessary dependencies. You must securely configure your Kraken API credentials, either by setting environment variables or adding them to your OpenClaw configuration file (skills.entries.kraken-pro.env). You can obtain your keys from the API management section of the Kraken dashboard.

Use Cases

• Portfolio Monitoring: Get an instant snapshot of your holdings, net worth, and asset distribution without logging into the web browser.
• Algorithmic-like Execution: Use command-line arguments to place buy and sell orders with precision, ensuring consistent order management.
• Tax and Accounting: Generate CSV files of your historical ledgers, filtered by date, asset, or transaction type, making it significantly easier to prepare data for tax software.
• Yield Management: Monitor and adjust your staking positions by interacting with Kraken's Earn/Staking programs directly from your development workflow.

Example Prompts

• "Hey, check my current portfolio balance and tell me my total net worth in USD."
• "Place a limit buy order for 0.1 BTC at a price of 60,000 using the kraken-pro skill."
• "Export my trading history for the month of January as a CSV file."

Tips & Limitations

Always prioritize safety by utilizing the --validate flag before executing any trading command. OpenClaw requires you to explicitly confirm real orders with the --confirm flag to prevent accidental financial loss. Note that the skill cannot create new withdrawal addresses—these must be pre-configured in your Kraken web dashboard. Additionally, ensure you match the --key parameter exactly to the label saved in your Kraken account, as this is how the API identifies withdrawal destinations.
