What problem does it solve? Trading desks need a consistent, auditable procedure so every position change follows the same path from idea to reviewed result, with no stage skipped and no unapproved order reaching the exchange. This Skill defines that end-to-end procedure for the HyperGrok desk, replacing informal chat approvals with a JSON ticket and a deterministic policy gate. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Seven-stage lifecycle: Enforces the ordered flow idea → evidence → risk sign-off → policy gate → execution → reconciliation → review, with a named owner for each stage. - Ticket and gate workflow: Produces a Markdown ticket plus a JSON ticket file checked by scripts/policy_gate.py against autonomy.json limits and live account state before any send. - Adjustments and protective orders: Treats stop moves, adds, reduces, and closes as new suffixed tickets, with protect and close tickets always passing the gate so positions are never left unprotected. - Use Case: A user asks to long ETH on a retest of 3,000. The Desk Lead opens proposal HG-20260907-01, the Market Analyst gathers evidence, the Risk Manager issues a PASS ticket, the gate validates it, the Execution Trader sends and reconciles, and the Trade Reviewer journals the closed trade. ## Quick Start Ask the desk to open a trade proposal for your idea, for example by saying you want to long ETH-PERP on testnet with a stop below 2,900, and let the lifecycle run each stage in order.
