qgis-core-coordinate-systems

qgis-core-coordinate-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/QGIS-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 97 tokens per session (2,811 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A QGIS guide to coordinate reference systems, which define how locations on Earth are represented on a map, and to converting and measuring those coordinates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating coordinate systems, transforming data between them, applying datum settings, or measuring distances and areas.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misplaced data and incorrect distances or areas caused by assigning the wrong system or reversing latitude and longitude.

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-core-coordinate-systems 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 12d 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

Core CRS Classes

Class Purpose Key Methods
QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem Represents a spatial reference system isValid(), authid(), isGeographic(), mapUnits()
QgsCoordinateTransform Transforms coordinates between two CRS transform(), transformBoundingBox()
QgsCoordinateTransformContext Project-level datum transformation settings Used as parameter for transforms
QgsDistanceArea Measures distances and areas in any CRS measureLine(), measureArea(), setEllipsoid()

CRS Creation Methods

Input Format Constructor Syntax Example
EPSG code QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("EPSG:<code>") "EPSG:4326"
PostGIS SRID QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("POSTGIS:<srid>") "POSTGIS:4326"

Proj string QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("PROJ:<proj>") "PROJ:+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84"
WKT string QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem("WKT:<wkt>") "WKT:GEOGCS[...]"

CRS Property Methods

Method Returns Description
authid() str Authority identifier, e.g., "EPSG:4326"

Changes

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.
