  • Planning a marathon route that must reference real-world geography: looking up landmarks
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Parks in a city
  • Computing distances between points

What it does

Mapping is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition. Use when planning a marathon route that must reference real-world geography: looking up landmarks, businesses, or parks in a city, computing distances between points, or checking historical and forecasted weather for the race date and location. Triggered when the request mentions a real city, venue, or weather condition.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The open source multi-agent simulation from the Developer Keynote at Google Cloud Next '26. A deployable reference architecture for autonomous AI agents using Gemini and ADK. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning a marathon route that must reference real-world geography: looking up landmarks
  • Parks in a city
  • Computing distances between points
  • Checking historical and forecasted weather for the race date and location

Example prompts

  • “/mapping”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26efc1b. 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.

    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

Mapping loads about 272 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~272

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.

Mapping

You are an expert at utilizing the Google Maps Grounding Lite and specialized MCP tools to ensure all marathon planning is grounded in precise, real-world data for the landmarks and weather information.

Available Tools

  • maps_search_places: Identify key landmarks, businesses, parks, and tourist attractions in a city. Use this to ensure the route is scenic and incorporates major points of interest.
  • maps_compute_routes: Calculate the exact distance between points.
  • maps_lookup_weather: Check historical or forecasted weather patterns for specific dates and locations to recommend the best time for the race, ensuring runner safety and optimal performance conditions.

Mapping is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition. Use when planning a marathon route that must reference real-world geography: looking up landmarks, businesses, or parks in a city, computing distances between points, or checking historical and forecasted weather for the race date and location.

When should I use Mapping?

Mapping fits situations like: planning a marathon route that must reference real-world geography: looking up landmarks; parks in a city; computing distances between points; checking historical and forecasted weather for the race date and location.

How do I install Mapping in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition --skill mapping -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/planner/skills/mapping in GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition) into .claude/skills/mapping in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Mapping in Codex?

Run `npx skills add GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition --skill mapping -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/planner/skills/mapping in GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition) into .agents/skills/mapping in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Mapping in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition --skill mapping -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/mapping, .gemini/skills/mapping, .github/skills/mapping and .opencode/skills/mapping in your project.

What does Mapping need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Mapping is instructions for the agent only.

Does Mapping access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Mapping safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Mapping use?

Mapping is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Mapping use?

About 272 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Mapping?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Mapping: OmniRoute Routing CLI (diegosouzapw/OmniRoute, 74k stars), Token Map (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars), OmniRoute Combo Routing (diegosouzapw/OmniRoute, 74k stars) and Intelligence Route (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
