Use before a configuration tree takes effect somewhere that can send orders, to prove it matches the approved baseline; catches missing keys, changed values and silent type changes carried over from a debugging session.

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 a configuration tree is about to take effect in an environment
that can send orders, and you need positive evidence that it matches the baseline someone
actually approved. The failure it prevents is specific: a risk parameter edited in
staging for a debugging session and carried into production, a `broker_endpoint` still
pointing at sandbox after a promotion, a `max_order_usd` that arrived as the string
`"100000"` and silently disabled a numeric comparison downstream.

Use it in two places, not one: as a CI/CD gate before an artifact is promoted, and again
during process initialization before the trading socket opens. The first catches the
mistake earlier; the second is the one that actually protects live capital, because it
runs on the host and against the file the engine will really read.

## When NOT to Use

Do **not** use it when:

- **The two environments are supposed to differ structurally.** This detector compares
  one tree against one baseline. A research sandbox with a different schema entirely will
  produce noise, not signal — see `research-environment-vs-production-environment-parity`
  for that comparison.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/configuration-drift-detection-across-environments@sha256:a33e22bafb04aab7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
