Automatically discover and load algorithmic trading skills from the library in skills/.

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

# Algo-Trading-Skills Rule for Cursor

When building or modifying algorithmic trading code, financial ML models, backtesting loops, risk controls, or broker integrations:

1. **Scan `skills/` Frontmatter**: Read the `SKILL.md` frontmatter in `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` or query `index.json` to find relevant skills matching the task.
2. **Follow `agentskills.io` Standard**: Read `When NOT to Use` first (it names the cases the skill does not cover and hands each to the skill that does), then use the `Workflow`, `Common Pitfalls`, and `Verification` sections in `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
3. **Reference Deep Context**: Read `references/standards.md`, `references/workflows.md`, and `scripts/` inside the target skill directory for implementation details.
4. **Verify Implementation**: Always verify code against the skill's verification checklist (`assets/checklist.md`) and run corresponding unit tests.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/.cursor/rules/algo-trading-skills.mdc@sha256:10a691967fc0f316

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.8527a51, 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.
