Use when building the component that executes an emergency stop in an order gateway or algorithm: latches order entry shut before dispatching cancels, sends mass-cancel per venue and tracks acknowledgements. Authorisation happens upstream.

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 building or reviewing the component that *executes* an emergency stop in an order gateway, execution algorithm, or Smart Order Router: it latches order entry shut and chases the orders already at the venues.

Two facts shape the engine, and both are why the naive version is dangerous:

- **The lockout and the cancel are not one action, and the order matters.** Latching order entry is local and cannot fail; cancelling is a network round trip to every venue. Dispatch cancels first and a looping algorithm refills the book through the gap. This engine latches first, always.
- **A cancel is a request, not a state change.** FIX `MassCancelRejectReason` (tag 532) value 0 is "Mass Cancel Not Supported", so a venue can refuse outright; venues also exclude orders from cancellation by rule (NYSE Pillar keeps MOO/LOO orders working after the auction cutoff). Orders therefore move `NEW/PARTIALLY_FILLED → PENDING_CANCEL → CANCELLED/FILLED`, and the report exposes `pending_cancel_order_ids` and `uncancelled_order_ids`. **Gate your escalation on those, never on `cancel_requested_count`.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/execution-algorithm-kill-switch-integration@sha256:61f9a856323bca74

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.
