A guide for adding tile-based maps to KX Dashboards using OpenLayers and WMTS, a standard for loading map tiles from a server.

Use it for maps with circles, icons, lines, annotations, or a custom tile server.

It helps configure map layers, tile sources, and map-specific dashboard settings correctly.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00128	$0.01172
Opus 5.5	$0.00051	$0.00469
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

kx-quad-map 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KX QuadMap Component — OpenLayers / WMTS

Also read kx-dashboard-core for: envelope, screen/widget wrapper, data sources, ViewState, binding patterns, actions, notifications, and the pre-flight checklist.

key: "QuadMap" · definitionId: "1036" · version: "v2.19.0"

This skill uses progressive disclosure: the component identity, the QuadMap-specific hazards, the workflow, and the output checklist are here; the bulky per-layer JSON schemas, field tables, and the full worked example live in reference/. Read only the reference file relevant to your current step.

Reference Files

File	Read it when you need…
reference/component-schema.md	The canonical `options` object, the top-level wrapper, the `Basics` / `WTMS` field tables, the per-layer schemas (Circle / Icon / Line common properties and sub-objects), the `Actions` item shape, and the `Annotation` / `Export` field tables plus the sub-sections summary.
reference/examples.md	A complete copy-ready minimal working example — a Circle-layer QuadMap with OpenStreetMap base layer.

⚠️ QuadMap-Specific Hazards

WTMS.URL (note spelling — the JSON key is WTMS, not WMTS) must be set when Basics.DefaultLayer is "Tile Server".
Points is an array of data layer objects, each with its own DataType ("Circle", "Icon", or "Line"). Do not confuse it with a single object.
possiblePoints in each layer is auto-populated by the UI — always emit it as [] when building from scratch.
Tile server changes require a page reload to take effect (DefaultLayer tooltip: "Requires a page restart to see the new Default layer").
Basics.Projection controls the WMTS tile projection ("WGS 84" = EPSG:4326, "Mercator" = EPSG:3857). Match this to your tile server's native projection.
The component uses OpenLayers — it is not MapLibre/MapTiler based.

Workflow

Confirm the map source. Decide Basics.DefaultLayer ("none" | "Open Street (Default)" | "Tile Server") and, if using a tile server, the TileServer URL and its projection; set WTMS.URL for a WMTS service. Component identity (key, definitionId, version) is in the identity line above.
Set the camera. Choose CenterLat / CenterLng / Zoom, and FitToData if the extent should auto-fit loaded data. See the Basics table in reference/component-schema.md.
Build the Points data layers. Add one object per layer to the Points array. Pick each layer's DataType ("Circle", "Icon", or "Line") and wire its DataSource, ID, Latitude, Longitude, and the type-specific sub-object. Use the common-properties and per-layer schemas in reference/component-schema.md; always emit possiblePoints: [].
Wire interactivity (optional). Add Actions items to publish clicked/hovered values to a ViewState, configure Annotation for spatial filtering, or Export for PNG export. See the Actions, Annotation, and Export sections in reference/component-schema.md.
Match the worked example. Copy the closest shape from reference/examples.md and adapt it.
Validate against the Pre-flight Checklist below.

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.
