faostat-trends

faostat-trends is a skill for Claude Code from berba-q/faostat-skills. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,936 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for finding major increases, decreases, and unusual movements in FAOSTAT agricultural production data. FAOSTAT is the Food and Agriculture Organization’s database of food and agriculture statistics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor production trends, find the fastest-growing or declining commodities, and detect anomalies for countries or regions.
Why use it?
It avoids manually comparing large agricultural datasets across countries and years. It also makes the required region, time period, and commodity focus explicit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

faostat-trends scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agricultural Trend Monitor

Identify the biggest changes and anomalies in agricultural production data over a specified time window and geography.

Prerequisites

Before starting, confirm the FAOSTAT MCP tools are available by checking that tools faostat_get_data, faostat_search_codes, and faostat_get_rankings are accessible. If they are not, inform the user that this skill requires the FAOSTAT MCP server to be connected and stop.

Workflow

Step 1 — Gather Parameters

Ask the user for:

  • Region or countries — one or more countries, a continent, or a region (e.g., "Africa", "Brazil and Argentina", "Southeast Asia")
  • Time window — default to the last 5 years if not specified
  • Focus (optional) — specific commodity groups to monitor, or leave broad for all major groups

If the user provides these in their initial message, proceed without re-asking.

Step 2 — Resolve Area Codes

Use faostat_search_codes with domain_code='QCL' and dimension_id='area' to resolve each country or region name to its FAOSTAT area code.

CRITICAL: If requires_confirmation is true in the response (multiple matches), present the options to the user and ask them to choose before proceeding. Do NOT guess.

Step 3 — Pull Production Data for Major Commodity Groups

Query the QCL (Crops and Livestock Products) domain using faostat_get_data. Pull production quantity data (element FILTER code resolved at runtime via faostat_search_codes(domain_code='QCL', dimension_id='element', query='production') → e.g. '2510') across major commodity groups.

For broad monitoring, query across these key items:

  • Cereals (wheat, rice, maize, barley, sorghum, millet)
  • Oilcrops (soybeans, palm fruit, sunflower seed, rapeseed)
  • Roots and tubers (cassava, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes)
  • Fruits (bananas, citrus, mangoes, avocados)
  • Vegetables (tomatoes, onions)
  • Livestock products (milk, meat — cattle, chicken, pig, sheep)

Use faostat_search_codes with domain_code='QCL' and dimension_id='item' to resolve each item name to its item code.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
