Sprites and icon images for MapLibre GL JS — choosing a `Marker`, a sprite, or `addImage`; the `sprite` base URL and its `{id, url}` array form for several sheets; self-hosting and building sprites; runtime images, SVGs included, with `addImage`; finding a missing icon with the console warning and `hasImage`; and route shields that render as bare numbers. Use when deciding how to put icons on a map, when a symbol layer's icons never appear, when adding your own icons to a style whose sprite…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MapLibre Sprites and Icons

An icon on a MapLibre GL JS map is either part of the map, drawn by a symbol layer from a **sprite** (a PNG atlas plus a JSON index served from the style's `sprite` URL) or from an image registered at runtime with `addImage`, or on top of the map as a `Marker`, outside the style. For icon color, halos, and figure-ground against imagery, see [maplibre-cartography](../maplibre-cartography/SKILL.md); for text and glyph setup, see [maplibre-fonts-glyphs](../maplibre-fonts-glyphs/SKILL.md).

## When to Use This Skill

- Choosing between a `Marker`, a sprite, and `addImage` for icons on a map
- A symbol layer's icons do not render
- Adding your own icon sheet to a style whose `sprite` you do not control
- Setting up, self-hosting, or building a `sprite` from SVGs (for `glyphs`, see [maplibre-fonts-glyphs](../maplibre-fonts-glyphs/SKILL.md))
- Registering icons, including SVGs, for a layer your app adds at runtime
- Route shields render as bare numbers or missing badges
- Writing tooling that reads or generates symbol layers and has to recognize a shield

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-sprites-icons@sha256:ae3e7125d763fad5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.a5566a4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
