Cartographic principles for MapLibre GL JS — label and symbol legibility on imagery vs. vector basemaps, figure-ground for point icons, styling vector roads over aerial imagery, visual hierarchy, layer ordering for data injection, and accessibility. Use when styling a map, choosing text or symbol colors, making markers or roads readable on satellite/aerial imagery, or ordering layers correctly.
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 Cartography MapLibre renders exactly what you describe in your style. This skill covers how to describe it well: choosing label colors for readability on any basemap, building a coherent visual hierarchy, and ordering style layers correctly. For font/glyph setup, see [maplibre-fonts-glyphs](../maplibre-fonts-glyphs/SKILL.md); for sprites, icon sourcing, and route shields, see [maplibre-sprites-icons](../maplibre-sprites-icons/SKILL.md). ## When to Use This Skill - Reviewing a style against cartographic best practices before it ships - Choosing label `text-color` and `text-halo-color`, or point symbol/icon colors, for a new or migrated style — including cases where they read fine on a flat vector basemap but disappear or camouflage once the basemap is imagery - Setting up or debugging `sprite`, icons, or route shields — see [maplibre-sprites-icons](../maplibre-sprites-icons/SKILL.md); for `glyphs`, see [maplibre-fonts-glyphs](../maplibre-fonts-glyphs/SKILL.md) - Injecting your own data layers into an existing basemap without covering labels - Restyling roads from a light-basemap vector palette so they sit in (not on top of) imagery …

How to install
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-cartography@sha256:e4a0282cfc761c0fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.5bdf7cd, 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.
