Use when writing high-volume ticks or order logs into TimescaleDB, ClickHouse or Kafka and one static batch size either stalls in quiet markets or floods the sink in a burst; adapts batch size and flush timeout from EWMA sink latency.

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

Invoke this skill when persistently writing high-volume tick feeds or trading
logs into downstream databases (TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, InfluxDB) or message
queues (Kafka, Redis Streams). Hardcoding a static batch size is wrong across
regimes — it causes high persistence latency when markets are quiet (waiting
for fixed batch limits to fill) and DB I/O overload during flash crashes.

The skill produces an `AdaptiveBatchTunerEngine` whose job is to scale the
batch size `B_t` and flush timeout `T_flush` in response to two signals:

1. **Smoothed batch fill ratio at the flush boundary**
   `F_ewma = EWMA(depth_at_flush / B_t)` — did the producer fill the batch
   before the timeout, or did the timeout cut a half-empty batch?
2. **Smoothed downstream write latency** (target: `target_write_latency_ms`),
   which acts as the throttle and outranks signal 1.

### Why fullness, and not queue depth

The obvious signal — buffer occupancy against a nominal `queue_capacity` — does
not work in this architecture, and getting this wrong inverts the controller.
`add_item` hands the batch back the instant the buffer reaches `B`, so the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/adaptive-batch-size-tuning-under-load@sha256:b8a9ac04a3081bed

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.
