Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mapbox/mapbox-agent-skills at f71cd72b8d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The mapbox-cartography skill allows AI agents to generate and manipulate Mapbox GL styles. It enables creating custom maps with specific visual representations of data, including defining road colors, water features, and building labels. This skill is designed for applications requiring tailored map visualizations beyond standard defaults.

When to use it

  • Custom Data Visualization: Displaying proprietary datasets on a map with unique styling (e.g., highlighting areas based on sales performance).
  • Thematic Mapping: Creating maps that emphasize specific themes or narratives through visual design choices (e.g., showing population density with color gradients).
  • Branded Maps: Developing custom map styles to align with a company's branding and aesthetic.
  • Interactive Map Design: Dynamically adjusting map styling based on user interactions or data updates.

Key capabilities

  • Mapbox GL Style Generation
  • Custom Visual Styling (roads, water, buildings)
  • Data-Driven Styling
  • Thematic Mapping Support

Example prompts

  • "Create a Mapbox style that highlights bike lanes in green."
  • "Generate a map with roads colored by speed limit."
  • “Style the water bodies on my map to appear as a light blue.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Mapbox GL Style Specification.
  • The skill’s output is dependent on valid Mapbox style syntax.
