Use when a live system needs a strategy-independent gate that blocks new orders once drawdown, order submission rate, consecutive venue errors or feed staleness breaches a limit. It blocks new orders; cancelling working ones is the kill switch.
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 Use this skill to build the last line of defence for a live algorithmic trading system: an observer that sits *between* strategy logic and the execution gateway and refuses to pass new orders once a hard limit is breached. It enforces four independent controls — peak-to-trough drawdown of session P&L, order submission rate over a rolling window, consecutive broker/venue errors, and staleness of the P&L feed the drawdown control depends on — and it does not auto-recover from a limit breach. Reach for it when: capital is real, the strategy is capable of looping, and nobody is watching the screen continuously. ## When NOT to Use - **As your only MiFID II RTS 6 control.** Article 12 kill functionality requires the ability to *cancel* unexecuted orders across every venue you are connected to. This engine blocks new submissions; it does not cancel resting orders or flatten positions. Wire its `on_halt` callback to whatever does, and treat that wiring as the compliance artefact. …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/capital-preservation-mode-for-degraded-conditions@sha256:00d02889c635a1deThe 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.
