What it does
Hormuz Strait is an agent skill from himself65/finance-skills. Check the live status of the Strait of Hormuz from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard: open, restricted, or closed status, tanker transits vs normal, stranded vessels, Brent price impact, war-risk insurance levels, cargo throughput, tanker freight rates, diplomatic developments, and global trade impact. Use this skill whenever the user asks about the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf in the context of oil, shipping, or geopolitical risk — whether Hormuz is open, chokepoint or transit disruption, Gulf tanker…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md` and `references/api_schema.md`).
It sits in Security, covering Supply chain security. The repository describes itself as: A collection of skills for AI financial analysis. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about the Strait of Hormuz
- The Persian Gulf in the context of oil
- Geopolitical risk — whether Hormuz is open
- Transit disruption
Example prompts
- “/hormuz-strait”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 01fc7b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
hormuzstraitmonitor.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Hormuz Strait loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 680 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- hormuz-strait
- description
- Check the live status of the Strait of Hormuz from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard: open, restricted, or closed status, tanker transits vs normal, stranded vessels, Brent price impact, war-risk insurance levels, cargo throughput, tanker freight rates, diplomatic developments, and global trade impact. Use this skill whenever the user asks about the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf in the context of oil, shipping, or geopolitical risk — whether Hormuz is open, chokepoint or transit disruption, Gulf tanker traffic, war-risk premiums, Middle East shipping routes, or energy supply-chain risk.
Hormuz Strait Monitor Skill
Fetches real-time status of the Strait of Hormuz from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard API. Covers shipping transits, oil prices, stranded vessels, insurance risk, diplomatic status, global trade impact, and crisis timeline.
This skill is read-only. It fetches public dashboard data — no authentication required.
Step 1: Fetch Dashboard Data
Use curl to fetch the dashboard API:
curl -s https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/api/dashboardParse the JSON response. The API returns { "success": true, "data": { ... }, "timestamp": "..." }.
If success is false or the request fails, inform the user the monitor is temporarily unavailable and suggest checking https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com directly.
Step 2: Identify What the User Needs
Match the user's request to the relevant data sections. If the user asks for a general status update, present all sections. If they ask about something specific, focus on the relevant section(s).
| User Request | Data Section | Key Fields |
|---|---|---|
| General status / "is Hormuz open?" | straitStatus | status, since, description |
| Ship traffic / transit count | shipCount | currentTransits, last24h, normalDaily, percentOfNormal |
| Oil price impact | oilPrice | brentPrice, change24h, changePercent24h, sparkline |
| Stranded / stuck vessels | strandedVessels | total, tankers, bulk, other, changeToday |
| Insurance / war risk | insurance | level, warRiskPercent, normalPercent, multiplier |
| Cargo throughput | throughput | todayDWT, averageDWT, percentOfNormal, last7Days |
| Diplomatic situation | diplomacy | status, headline, parties, summary |
| Global trade impact | globalTradeImpact | percentOfWorldOilAtRisk, estimatedDailyCostBillions, affectedRegions, lngImpact, alternativeRoutes, supplyChainImpact |
| Crisis timeline / events | crisisTimeline | events[] with date, type, title, description |
| Tanker freight rates / VLCC rates | tankerRates | currentRate, preCrisisRate, changePercent, route, vesselType, trend, unit |
| Latest news | news | title, source, url, publishedAt, description |
Step 3: Present the Data
Format the results clearly for financial research. Adapt the presentation based on what the user asked for.
General status briefing (default)
When the user asks for a general update, cover these sections — a line each while shipping is operating normally, more depth wherever there is active disruption:
- Strait Status — lead with the current status (e.g., "OPEN", "RESTRICTED", "CLOSED"), how long it's been in that state, and the description
- Ship Traffic — current transits, last 24h count, and percent of normal
- Oil Price — Brent price with 24h change
- Stranded Vessels — total count broken down by type, with today's change
- Insurance Risk — risk level, war risk premium percentage, and multiplier vs. normal
- Cargo Throughput — today's DWT vs. average, percent of normal
- Diplomatic Status — current status, headline, and brief summary
- Global Trade Impact — percent of world oil at risk, estimated daily cost, and top affected regions
- Tanker Freight Rates — current VLCC rate on the benchmark route vs. pre-crisis baseline, with trend direction
Show full SKILL.md (273 more words)Show less
Formatting guidelines
- Use tables for structured data (vessel counts, affected regions, alternative routes)
- Highlight abnormal values — if
percentOfNormalis below 80% or above 120%, call it out - For
oilPrice.sparkline, describe the trend (rising, falling, stable) rather than listing raw numbers - For
throughput.last7Days, describe the trend direction - Show
lastUpdatedtimestamp so the user knows data freshness - For news items, include the source and link
- For crisis timeline events, present chronologically with event type labels
Risk assessment
Based on the data, provide a brief risk assessment. insurance.level values come back uppercase:
| Insurance Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
NORMAL | No elevated risk — shipping operating normally |
ELEVATED | Some disruption concerns — monitor closely |
HIGH | Significant risk — active disruption or credible threat |
CRITICAL | Severe disruption — major impact on global oil supply |
EXTREME | Effective closure — war risk premiums at multi-decade highs, most commercial traffic halted |
If the strait status is anything other than fully open, highlight:
- The estimated daily cost to global trade
- Which regions are most affected and their oil dependency
- Available alternative routes with additional transit days and cost
- LNG impact if applicable
- SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) status in days
Step 4: Respond to the User
- Lead with the most important information: strait status and any active disruption
- Include data freshness (
lastUpdatedtimestamp) - If the situation is elevated or worse, proactively include the global trade impact summary
- Keep the response concise for routine "all clear" statuses; expand for active incidents
- Add a disclaimer: data is sourced from Hormuz Strait Monitor and may have delays
