What is this skill?

Shipping disruptions or geopolitical risk in the Strait of Hormuz can move global energy markets in seconds. With this skill, your AI delivers real-time status updates and risk briefings from the Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard. It's essential for energy traders, shipping analysts, and anyone tracking oil supply chains, tanker movements, or Middle East risk.

What you can do

  • Check if the Strait of Hormuz is open, restricted, or closed, with duration and context (e.g., "Strait status: Restricted for 12 hours due to military activity").
  • See current and 24h tanker transit counts vs normal baseline (e.g., "Tanker transits: 60, 80% of normal").
  • Monitor stranded vessels by type and daily change (e.g., "3 stranded tankers, up 1 from yesterday").
  • Track Brent crude price impact and trend (e.g., "Brent: $83.10, +2% in 24h").
  • Review war-risk insurance premiums and multipliers vs normal (e.g., "War risk: 3x normal").
  • Get a summary of diplomatic developments, crisis timeline, and affected trade routes.

How it works

When you ask about the Strait of Hormuz, your AI fetches the latest dashboard data via a public API. It compiles the current strait status, ship traffic, insurance premiums, price impacts, and relevant news into a concise risk briefing. If there are disruptions or new diplomatic events, you'll see them highlighted along with historical context and affected supply chains.

Good to know

  • No authentication or setup is required; works on any platform with curl.
  • Data is read-only and sourced directly from the public Hormuz Strait Monitor dashboard.
  • Works on Claude Code, Claude.ai, and any agent with shell access.
