What it does

Make Your Map is an agent skill from Danneytrieu/cartographers-desk. Turn this cloned "Cartographer's Desk" repo into the user's OWN scrollable field-map — interview them about their life/career in a few questions, rewrite map.config.js with their chapters, (optionally) swap the artwork for their own painted PNGs via prompts/ + bakealpha.py, preview locally, and deploy to GitHub Pages. Use whenever someone who has cloned this repo says "make this mine", "make my own map", "put my life on it", "set it up for me", "help me customize this", or runs /make-your-map.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: The Cartographer's Desk — a hand-painted, scrollable field map of Jake Van Clief's career. One HTML file, Three.js, a traveling fox.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone who has cloned this repo says make this mine
  • Make my own map
  • Put my life on it
  • Set it up for me

Example prompts

  • “Cartographer”
  • “repo into the user”
  • “make this mine”
  • “/make-your-map”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Orient (30 seconds, silent)
  2. Interview (a few life questions, one at a time)
  3. Write map.config.js (their words on the real map)
  4. Swap the art (optional, and it costs image credits — always ask first)
  5. Preview
  6. Deploy to GitHub Pages (their own copy, their own link)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e88497a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python3
    • gh
    • npm
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Make Your Map loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,079 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,079 words (~2,403 tokens).

“You are helping someone turn this cloned repo — The Cartographer's Desk — into a scrollable, hand-painted field-map of their own life or work. The original is Jake Van Clief's career map; your job is to make it theirs.”
