Drawing elevation in MapLibre GL JS once a raster-dem source works — hillshade and `hillshade-method`, the `color-relief` layer and the `["elevation"]` expression, runtime contours with `maplibre-contour`, and 3D terrain with its camera and sky. Use when relief looks harsh, flat, or absent, or when the layer type or property for an elevation effect is unclear.
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 Terrain Rendering A `raster-dem` source is elevation, not a picture. Four different things draw it, each with its own layer type or API, and most of the wrong answers here are Mapbox GL JS properties that MapLibre never had. ## When to Use This Skill These are symptoms as you would observe them, before you know the cause: - **Harsh hillshade contrast:** black-and-white ridges, blown-out slopes, chalky valleys — or several hillshade layers stacked to soften them (one layer with `hillshade-method: "multidirectional"`). - **Dynamic elevation coloring:** the map needs coloring by height, client-side, with no pre-rendered tiles (a `color-relief` layer over `["elevation"]`, not `raster-color` on a `raster` layer). - **Runtime contour lines:** contour lines straight from a `raster-dem` source, with no pre-generated contour tileset (`maplibre-contour`, not a hand-rolled marching-squares pipeline). - **Flat 3D terrain:** `map.setTerrain()` is on and nothing extrudes (the camera is at `pitch: 0`, and raising `exaggeration` will not fix it). …

How to install
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-terrain-rendering@sha256:8baad1b8bfff2146The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.801d568, 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.
