This repo contains 8 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.
Patterns for visualizing data on maps including choropleth maps, heat maps, 3D visualizations, data-driven styling, and animated data. Covers layer types, color scales, and performance optimization.
Expert guidance on choosing the right geospatial tool based on problem type, accuracy requirements, and performance needs
Complete workflow for implementing Mapbox search in applications - from discovery questions to production-ready integration with best practices
Common style patterns, layer configurations, and recipes for typical mapping scenarios including restaurant finders, real estate, data visualization, navigation, delivery/logistics, and more. Use when implementing specific map use cases or looking for proven style patterns.
Expert guidance on validating, optimizing, and ensuring quality of Mapbox styles through validation, accessibility checks, and optimization. Use when preparing styles for production, debugging issues, or ensuring map quality standards.
Security best practices for Mapbox access tokens, including scope management, URL restrictions, rotation strategies, and protecting sensitive data. Use when creating, managing, or advising on Mapbox token security.
Official integration patterns for Mapbox GL JS across popular web frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Angular). Covers setup, lifecycle management, token handling, search integration, and common pitfalls. Based on Mapbox's create-web-app scaffolding tool.
Performance optimization patterns for Mapbox GL JS web applications. Covers initialization waterfalls, bundle size, rendering performance, memory management, and web optimization. Prioritized by impact on user experience.
Integrates a local Cognite Reveal 3D CAD viewer bundle into Flows apps by copying app-local source code. Use when adding 3D viewer, 3D visualization, Reveal, CAD model, RevealProvider, RevealCanvas, Reveal3DResources, FDM 3D mapping, asset 3D model, model browser, or Cognite 3D content to a Flows application.
Search icons through HTTP API and retrieve SVG strings with curl.
Expert skill for using DeepSeek-OCR, a vision-language model for optical character recognition with context optical compression supporting documents, PDFs, and images.
Steganography detection and extraction playbook. Use when analyzing images (LSB, PNG chunks, JPEG DCT, EXIF), audio (spectrogram, DTMF), files (polyglots, appended data, ADS), and text (whitespace, zero-width, homoglyphs) for hidden data.
Find images you can confidently use for free — for websites, documents, presentations, UIs, blog posts, marketing assets, or anything else — without ever worrying about licensing. This skill pulls from a curated repository of pre-vetted images, pinned to a specific human-reviewed revision, and confirms each image's license — read from the image's own embedded metadata — before handing it over, so the licensing question is already answered by the time you get the URL. Triggers on any request involving an image, photo, illustration, banner, hero, or visual asset, including phrases like 'find me an image of...', 'I need a photo of...', 'get a picture for...'. Also use this when building UIs, articles, or content where a stress-free, freely-licensed image is needed.
Integrate the reusable CDF graph viewer (useGraphViewer) into a Flows app by copying the local code bundle. Use when embedding a graph visualization, adding a knowledge graph, or showing CDF data model relationships and instances.
