qgis-agents-map-generator

qgis-agents-map-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/QGIS-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 104 tokens per session (4,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating complete maps from geographic data in QGIS, a desktop application for working with maps and location-based data. It covers loading data, styling it, adding labels and map elements, and exporting the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Loading vector and raster data, setting coordinate systems, choosing symbols, placing labels, composing layouts, adding legends and scale bars, and exporting PDF, PNG, or SVG maps.
Why use it?
It provides the steps needed to turn raw geographic layers into a readable map and avoid common problems such as blank exports.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qgis-agents-map-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quick Reference

Map Generation Pipeline

Step Action Key Classes
1. Data Loading Load vector/raster layers, validate QgsVectorLayer, QgsRasterLayer
2. CRS Setup Set project CRS, reproject if needed QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, QgsProject
3. Symbology Apply renderer matching data type QgsCategorizedSymbolRenderer, QgsGraduatedSymbolRenderer
4. Labeling Configure label placement and format QgsPalLayerSettings, QgsTextFormat
5. Layout Create print layout with map items QgsPrintLayout, QgsLayoutItemMap
6. Cartographic Elements Add legend, scale bar, north arrow, title QgsLayoutItemLegend, QgsLayoutItemScaleBar
7. Export Export to PDF/PNG/SVG QgsLayoutExporter

Export Format Decision

Format When to Use
PDF Print-ready output, multi-page documents, atlas exports
PNG Web display, raster-only output, fixed resolution
SVG Editable vector output, post-processing in Illustrator/Inkscape

Critical Warnings

NEVER export a layout without first setting the map extent — this produces blank or mispositioned maps. ALWAYS call map_item.zoomToExtent() or map_item.setExtent() before export.

ALWAYS call layout.initializeDefaults() after creating a new QgsPrintLayout — without this, the layout has no pages and export fails silently.

NEVER export without checking the result code from QgsLayoutExporter — result 0 means success; any other value indicates a specific failure (memory, file, print, SVG layer, or iterator error).

ALWAYS call layer.triggerRepaint() after changing symbology or labeling — without this, the map canvas and layout exports render stale styles.

NEVER use QgsRandomColorRamp for thematic maps — random colors destroy visual hierarchy and make maps unreadable. ALWAYS select a color ramp matching the data type (sequential, diverging, or qualitative).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
