Use when signing Bybit V5 REST requests by hand rather than through the pybit SDK: HMAC-SHA256 over the exact bytes transmitted, a timestamp inside Bybit's asymmetric acceptance window, and the recv_window semantics.

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 when a trading system talks to the Bybit V5 REST API without an SDK —
because it needs control over threading, connection reuse, timeout handling and backoff
that a synchronous SDK does not expose. It covers the four things a hand-rolled Bybit
client gets wrong:

1. Signing a string that is not the string actually transmitted (`retCode 10004`).
2. A timestamp outside the acceptance window (`retCode 10002`).
3. Pacing against one rate limit while breaching the other (`retCode 10006` vs. HTTP 403).
4. Retrying an order submission after a timeout and opening a second position.

## When NOT to Use

- **When `pybit` is adequate.** Bybit's official Python SDK signs correctly, retries and
  handles WebSocket sessions. Hand-rolling is justified by a specific control requirement,
  not by default. This skill's signing logic deliberately produces the same canonical
  form as `pybit` so the two can be cross-checked.
- **For WebSocket authentication.** The WS handshake signs `GET/realtime` plus an expiry,
  not `timestamp + api_key + recv_window + payload`. Different scheme; do not reuse this
  one. See `websocket-reconnection-with-state-recovery`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/bybit-derivatives-api-integration@sha256:0cdd2ff03265afde

The 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.
