Use this skill when the user cares about realtime behavior, hot paths, streaming freshness, or execution speed. This includes HFT-like infrastructure, but the skill is engineering-focused. It does not authorize live trading or financial advice.
Do not collapse everything into "fast." Track:
Write the path from user/event to final visible state:
textsource event -> provider API -> ingest worker -> queue -> cache -> edge route -> client stream -> browser render -> user-visible state
Then measure each segment separately.
Use live readbacks when a deployed surface exists:
For market-data or execution-adjacent paths, also verify orderbook age, VWAP assumptions, provider status, and kill-switch behavior before calling the path ready.

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 22 cases were attempted, and 21 counted toward the lift figure. The other 1 produced results that are not comparable between the two arms, so they are excluded from the headline rather than averaged into it. The headline lift of +27 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 21 comparable cases.
The per-case answers from this run were removed by the retention sweep, so the case table below shows the verdicts without the text either arm produced. The counts above were recorded at the time and are unaffected. Answers are now kept for 180 days.
