What it does
Commodities Quote is an agent skill from OctagonAI/skills. Retrieve real-time commodity price quotes using Octagon MCP. Use when checking current commodity prices, analyzing day ranges, comparing to moving averages, and tracking precious metals, energy, and agricultural commodity prices.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `marketplace.json` and `references/interpreting-results.md`).
It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Claude skills for agentic financial research by Octagon. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Checking current commodity prices
- Analyzing day ranges
- Comparing to moving averages
- Tracking precious metals
Example prompts
- “/commodities-quote”
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 51e938c. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
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
Commodities Quote loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 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.

Commodities Quote
Retrieve real-time price quotes for commodities including precious metals, energy, and agricultural products using the Octagon MCP server.
Prerequisites
Ensure Octagon MCP is configured in your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.). See references/mcp-setup.md for installation instructions.
Workflow
1. Identify the Commodity
Determine the commodity symbol you want to quote:
- GCUSD: Gold
- SIUSD: Silver
- CLUSD: Crude Oil
- NGUSD: Natural Gas
- etc.
2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP
Use the octagon-agent tool with a natural language prompt:
Retrieve the real-time price quote for <SYMBOL>.MCP Call Format:
{
"server": "octagon-mcp",
"toolName": "octagon-agent",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "Retrieve the real-time price quote for GCUSD."
}
}3. Expected Output
The agent returns comprehensive quote data:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Price | $4,864.20 |
| Change | +$211.60 (+4.55%) |
| Day Low | $4,690.20 |

Price Analysis
Day Range Position
Position = (Current - Day Low) / (Day High - Day Low) × 100%Example
From GCUSD data:
- Current: $4,864.20
- Day Low: $4,690.20
- Day High: $4,871.00
- Position: (4,864.20 - 4,690.20) / (4,871.00 - 4,690.20) = 96.2%
Interpretation: Trading near the high of the day (bullish).
52-Week Range Position
Position = (Current - Year Low) / (Year High - Year Low) × 100%Example
From GCUSD data:
- Current: $4,864.20
- Year Low: $2,837.40
- Year High: $5,626.80
- Position: (4,864.20 - 2,837.40) / (5,626.80 - 2,837.40) = 72.6%
Interpretation: Upper portion of 52-week range.
Moving Average Analysis
Price vs. Moving Averages
| Condition | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Price > 50-day > 200-day | Strong uptrend |
| Price > 200-day > 50-day | Recovery mode |
| Price < 200-day < 50-day | Starting downtrend |
| Price < 50-day < 200-day | Strong downtrend |
