Choosing what form your data needs for MapLibre GL JS — GeoJSON read straight from a file versus vector or raster tiles, the feature-count and file-size thresholds where each stops working, and how a basemap and your own data combine as separate sources. Use when deciding which source type a dataset needs, not when hosting or configuring one.

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 Tile Sources

MapLibre GL JS does not ship with map data. You provide a **style** that references **sources** — URLs or inline data that MapLibre fetches and renders. MapLibre works equally well for a store locator with 200 addresses, a city transit map, and a global basemap — the right source type depends on geographic scale and level of detail, update frequency, infrastructure constraints, and use case.

This skill is about **choosing** that source type. For getting a configured source to render see [maplibre-source-wiring](../maplibre-source-wiring/SKILL.md).

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up a new MapLibre map and choosing where your data comes from
- Deciding between GeoJSON and tiles for a dataset of a given size
- Working out whether you need tile infrastructure at all
- Planning how a basemap and your own data fit together

## How styles and sources work

A **style** (a style JSON, style document, or style object) is the configuration you pass to MapLibre. It contains the specific rendering rules governed by the [MapLibre Style Specification](https://maplibre.org/maplibre-style-spec/), maintained with parity for MapLibre GL JS and MapLibre Native.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-tile-sources@sha256:2204437ad60c80da

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.f651ae2, 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.
