What it does

Bgs Production is an agent skill from lamm-mit/scienceclaw. Query BGS World Mineral Statistics for production, imports, and exports by commodity, country, and year

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/bgs_query.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Requirements

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab9aba1. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Bgs Production loads about 667 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~667

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Rare earths" --format json --limit 20

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`--query`	Commodity name to search for	Required
`--country`	Filter by country name	-
`--year-from`	Start year for date filter	-
`--year-to`	End year for date filter	-
`--statistic-type`	Statistic type: Production, Imports, Exports	Production
`--ranking`	Show country ranking by production	false
`--top-n`	Number of top countries in ranking	15
`--limit`	Maximum records to return	50
`--format`	Output format: summary, detailed, json	summary

Examples

bash

# Top lithium producers
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Lithium" --ranking --top-n 10

# Cobalt production in Congo over time
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Cobalt" --country "Congo" --year-from 2015 --format detailed

# Rare earth exports globally
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Rare earths" --statistic-type "Exports" --format json

# Graphite production ranking for 2021
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Graphite" --ranking --year-from 2021 --year-to 2021

Notes

Data from the BGS OGC API (free, no authentication required)
Covers global mineral production, imports, and exports statistics
Country names use BGS conventions (e.g., "Congo (Democratic Republic)" not "DRC")
Year filtering is applied client-side after fetching records
Rate limiting: be courteous, avoid excessive requests
