How to turn a working session into a MapLibre agent skill — you researched something MapLibre's docs did not cover, got it wrong before you got it right, shipped it, and the session is about to end. Covers what to capture while the context is still live, how to separate the durable claim from the project it came from, and where to hand it off. Use at the end of a MapLibre task that took real research, or when asked to capture one as a skill.

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

# Authoring a Skill From a Session

The most valuable input to [maplibre-agent-skills](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills) is a session where an agent got a MapLibre answer wrong, went and found the right one, and shipped working code. That session holds something no later reconstruction can recover: **the wrong answer that came first.** It is the evidence that a skill is warranted at all, and it exists only until the context ends.

This skill is about that harvest. It does not restate how to contribute — [`AGENTS.md`](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/blob/main/AGENTS.md) has the agent-specific rules and [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) has the lanes and the four-step order for writing a new skill. Read those for the handoff; read this before the session ends, because after that most of what follows is unrecoverable.

## When to Use This Skill

- A MapLibre task just took real research: docs, source, a CHANGELOG, an issue thread
- The first approach was wrong, or right for Mapbox GL JS and wrong for MapLibre

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-skill-authoring@sha256:675d76a1857f8528

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.25eeb74, 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.
