Eight map and data animations with exact presets: globe-to-country dive, satellite flyover between two places, vector route map, watercolor travel route, self-drawing bar and line chart, count-up statistic, versus timeline (two numbers diverging over the years) and an audio visualizer (silk ribbons, wireframe terrain, ASCII stream). Presets give camera paths on the van Wijk zoom-pan curve, flight durations, line widths, chart rules (bars from zero, one accent series, direct labels), number…

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

# Maps and data motion: travel maps, charts, counters and audio visualizers

Eight animations where the data or the place is the story. One paused timeline drives the camera, the numbers and the audio bands, so a frame renders the same on every pass, and the map credits are designed in rather than pasted on.

## Gates

- **Licensed tiles and credits.** Vector maps from Natural Earth (public domain) need no credit. Satellite and street tiles need the provider's plan and its credit string on screen; never render from tile.openstreetmap.org.
- **The person's real numbers.** Charts and counters show data the person gives you, with its source; never round a number into a different claim.
- **Seek-safe.** Every value is a function of timeline time; randomness is seeded by frame. No `Date.now()`, `requestAnimationFrame` or unseeded `Math.random()`.
- **No credits here.** These templates render locally for free. Generated footage, voice or music is the varg-ai skill: call `estimate_cost` and wait for the person's approval before any generation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varghq/skills/maps-and-data-motion@sha256:12e42dc093cd10ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
