What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a structured playbook for thinking about geopolitical crises. It describes layers of risk (structural, situational, sudden events), five dimensions for scoring a crisis, and monitoring notes for hotspots such as the Strait of Hormuz, Taiwan Strait, Red Sea, Russia-Ukraine and the South China Sea. It lists market proxies to watch and the asset classes that tend to be pushed up or down, so the agent can turn news about conflicts into investment-oriented analysis.

Great for

  • Investors or analysts who want a structured first pass at how a conflict or sanction could affect oil, shipping, semiconductors or currencies
  • Students learning how geopolitical events transmit into markets
  • Teams building event-driven research notes that need a consistent set of indicators

Skip it if

  • Making trading or allocation decisions on its own: the signals and asset directions are generic heuristics written as text, and the file gives no data sources, backtests or dated figures to verify them
  • Relying on the specific statistics quoted (for example chokepoint shares and freight-time estimates), which are stated without sources and may be out of date
  • Real-time intelligence or safety decisions: the skill contains no live data feed and cannot confirm current events

Try asking

  • “Analyse how a renewed U.S.-Iran standoff could affect crude oil, LNG and tanker stocks, using the Strait of Hormuz framework”
  • “Score the current risk level of a Taiwan Strait escalation across the five dimensions and list the indicators to watch”
  • “Explain the likely supply-chain timeline if semiconductor output from Taiwan were disrupted”
  • “Map the transmission chain of a new sanctions package on European gas prices and inflation”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask the agent to state its sources and dates for any statistic, since the skill itself does not cite them, and check them independently
  • Pair the framework with live market data or news you supply, because the skill only supplies the analytical structure
  • Treat the asset-direction lists as hypotheses to test rather than recommendations, and ask the agent to name the assumptions behind each one
