qgis-impl-georeferencing

qgis-impl-georeferencing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/QGIS-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A QGIS guide for matching an image or vector map data to real-world coordinates using ground control points—locations known in both the source and target data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when georeferencing scanned maps, images, or vector features in QGIS, including managing reference points, transforming data, and checking residual errors and accuracy.
Why use it?
It helps avoid inaccurate results caused by too few reference points or by choosing an unsuitable transformation method.

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-impl-georeferencing 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 Classes

Class Module Since Purpose
QgsGcpPoint qgis.analysis 3.26 Ground control point with source/destination coords
QgsGcpTransformerInterface qgis.analysis 3.20 Creates and applies coordinate transformations
QgsGcpGeometryTransformer qgis.analysis 3.18 Transforms QgsGeometry objects using GCPs
QgsVectorWarper qgis.analysis 3.26 Warps vector features via transformFeatures()

Transformation Types

Method Enum Min GCPs Use Case
Linear Linear 2 Simple offset and scale, no rotation needed
Helmert Helmert 2 Rotation + scale + translation, rigid body
Polynomial 1 PolynomialOrder1 3 General affine transformation
Polynomial 2 PolynomialOrder2 6 Moderate local distortion correction
Polynomial 3 PolynomialOrder3 10 Heavy local distortion correction
Projective Projective 4 Perspective correction (scanned oblique images)
Thin Plate Spline ThinPlateSpline 1 Exact interpolation through all GCPs

Enum Access

from qgis.analysis import QgsGcpTransformerInterface
TM = QgsGcpTransformerInterface.TransformMethod

TM.Linear            # 0
TM.Helmert           # 1
TM.PolynomialOrder1  # 2
TM.PolynomialOrder2  # 3
TM.PolynomialOrder3  # 4
TM.ThinPlateSpline   # 5
TM.Projective        # 6

Critical Warnings

NEVER call warpLayer() on QgsVectorWarper -- this method does NOT exist. ALWAYS use transformFeatures() with a feature iterator and feature sink.

NEVER use QgsImageWarper from Python -- it has NO Python bindings. ALWAYS use GDAL Python bindings (osgeo.gdal) for raster georeferencing.

NEVER use fewer GCPs than the minimum required for the chosen transformation type. The createFromParameters() factory returns None when GCP count is insufficient.

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.
