What it does

Maplibre Source Wiring is an agent skill from maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills. Getting a MapLibre GL JS source to actually render — TileJSON url versus hand-wired tiles templates, matching source-layer names to the tile schema, layer order and inserting below labels, promoteId and the feature ids that feature state needs, and the CORS and glyph failures behind a blank map. Use when a source is configured but nothing is drawing, or when setFeatureState does nothing.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k 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: Community-maintained agent skills for MapLibre GL JS — helping AI coding assistants write better mapping code.

When your agent uses it

  • A source is configured but nothing is drawing
  • SetFeatureState does nothing

Example prompts

  • “/maplibre-source-wiring”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. MapLibre Style Specification — maplibre.org/maplibre-style-spec/
  2. TileJSON specification — specification repository on GitHub
  3. Slippy map tile naming (Z/X/Y scheme) — OpenStreetMap wiki
  4. OpenMapTiles schema — openmaptiles.org/schema/
  5. Shortbread tile schema — shortbread-tiles.org
  6. Protomaps basemap layers — docs.protomaps.com/basemaps/layers
  7. Martin tile server (TileJSON endpoints) — maplibre.org/martin/
  8. MapLibre GL JS docs — maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/
  9. promoteId, generateId, and feature-state — Style Specification: sources and expressions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99f8774. 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 (its code samples are json and javascript).

    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:

    • tile.openstreetmap.org

    Also links to:

    • maplibre.org
    • wiki.openstreetmap.org
    • docs.protomaps.com
    • github.com
    • openmaptiles.org
    • shortbread-tiles.org

    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

Maplibre Source Wiring loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,856 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

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 1,856 words (~3,777 tokens).

“You have a tile URL or a data file and a style, and the map is blank, drawing at the wrong scale, or drawing in the wrong order. This skill covers connecting a source to a style correctly, and the…”
