Use when turning an alternative data source into model features and the event date differs from the date your fund actually received the data; enforces point-in-time lag mapping from knowledge date so the feature cannot see the future.
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 integrating any alternative data source into a trading model. Alternative data is notoriously prone to **look-ahead bias** because the date an event happened (Event Date) is rarely the date the quantitative fund actually received the data (Knowledge Date or As-Of Date). This engine strictly enforces publication lags and aligns irregular alternative data frequencies (e.g., weekly satellite updates) to the trading strategy's frequency (e.g., daily market close) using safe, PIT-compliant forward-filling, per source, with bounded staleness. This skill assumes the upstream compliance gates (Step 0 below) have already been satisfied. It models the PIT **math**; it does not perform MNPI classification, vendor due diligence, or license/usage-restriction tracking — those are mandatory upstream skills listed in Related Skills. ## When NOT to Use Do **not** use this skill — and do not proceed to PIT feature construction — when any of the following hold. Route to the compliance/due-diligence sibling skills first instead of building leak-correct but illegal or incorrect features: …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/alternative-data-feature-integration@sha256:f68333cdd77b5982The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
