Use before launching a large grid search or tick-level sweep, to forecast cloud compute and storage spend with spot interruption overhead, per-task billing minimums and non-linear scaling, rather than discovering it on the invoice.
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 before kicking off massive grid searches or tick-level backtests over thousands of instruments. Large-scale backtesting can quietly consume thousands of dollars of cloud spend if it is not budgeted in advance, and the bill arrives long after the decision to run was made. ## When NOT to Use - **As a billing reconciliation tool.** This estimates ahead of a run. For tracking actual spend against forecast, see `cost-monitoring-for-cloud-trading-infrastructure`. - **As a live cost cut-off.** It produces a number; it does not stop a running job. Wire `is_over_budget` into your launcher yourself. - **For a single small backtest.** Below a few dollars the estimation effort exceeds the spend. - **Without a measured baseline.** Every input is a per-unit measurement. Guessed inputs produce a confidently wrong total — profile a real sample first. ## Which Billing Model This Fits Costs are modelled as **separately metered vCPU-hours and GB-hours**. That is how serverless container platforms bill: AWS Fargate charges "based on the vCPU, memory, Operating Systems, CPU Architecture, and storage resources used", with CPU and memory as separate line items. …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/backtest-infrastructure-cost-budgeting@sha256:8b03f08be7176465The 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.
