Use when a bounded tick buffer sits at capacity for sustained periods and you must choose a drop, sample or degrade policy per stream instead of inheriting a queue library's blocking default. For momentary spikes see tick-buffering-burst-handling.
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 once `tick-buffering-burst-handling` has established bounded buffers — this skill defines what happens when a buffer is persistently at capacity, i.e., sustained backpressure rather than a momentary burst. Every real-time trading system eventually falls behind producers; the difference between a robust system and a fragile one is whether that moment is handled by a deliberate, chosen policy or by whatever the underlying queue/library happens to do by default (often "block the producer" — the worst outcome, since it propagates the slowdown back to the WebSocket read loop). ## When NOT to Use - **For momentary bursts.** A short spike that a bounded buffer absorbs is a buffering problem, not a policy problem — see `tick-buffering-burst-handling`. - **When the consumer is merely slow-to-start.** Fix the consumer or scale it out before deciding what to throw away; a drop policy applied to a fixable bottleneck permanently degrades data quality to paper over a solvable issue. …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/backpressure-drop-degrade-policy@sha256:5ef56b7aa956e175The 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.
