Use when new or materially changed strategy code will send live orders and the first ones should be small enough that a defect costs a rounding error; shadow mode first, then deliberately shrunken orders under absolute notional caps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Invoke this skill when strategy code that will send live orders is **new or materially changed**, and you want the first live orders it sends to be small enough that a defect costs a rounding error rather than a bad day. The `StrategyCanaryRouter` sits between signal generation and the execution gateway and decides how much of each requested quantity is allowed through, according to the strategy's phase: 1. **SHADOW** — live data in, signals computed, **nothing routed**. The routing decision still reports the quantity the strategy wanted, so the caller can record a hypothetical fill and compare it against production behaviour later. 2. **CANARY** — live orders, scaled down by a fraction, floored to the venue's lot step, and bounded by an **absolute** per-order and cumulative notional limit. 3. **PRODUCTION** — full size, canary limits no longer applied. It is a good fit when the failure you are guarding against is *your own new code*: an inverted sign, a units error, a position-sizing regression, a signal that fires far more often live than in backtest. ## When NOT to Use …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/canary-releases-for-strategy-code-changes@sha256:18dfe384b4a51bc5The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
