A catalog of agent skills that teach AI coding tools to drive CARTO — the cloud-native location intelligence platform — correctly: right CLI flags, right SQL dialect, right job-handling patterns, right import shape.
Each skill is a short playbook the agent loads on demand when a user's request matches its domain, so the agent produces idiomatic, working CARTO output the first time.
Works with Claude Code, Skills CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI. All four harnesses load the same skills from a single source of truth: skills/catalog.json.
For installation, authoring, and usage details, see the official documentation:
docs.carto.com/carto-for-agents/agent-skills
Skills are organized in three tiers — pick what's relevant to your work; an agent will route to the right skill automatically based on user intent. See ARCHITECTURE.md for the rationale behind the layering.
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
carto-basics |
First-time setup: install, auth, profiles, global flags. |
carto-connect-datawarehouse |
Connect BigQuery / Snowflake / Redshift / Postgres / Databricks / Oracle. |
carto-query-datawarehouse |
Spatial SQL with dialect-specific guidance. |
carto-explore-datawarehouse |
Discover schemas, tables, columns, named sources. |
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
carto-import-export-data |
Imports, tilesets, and warehouse-native exports. |
carto-create-workflow |
Build, schedule, operate, and cross-profile-copy analytics DAGs in CARTO Workflows. |
carto-find-spatial-data |
Discover and subscribe to Data Observatory datasets. |
carto-manage-platform |
Org admin: users, quotas, audit, bulk ops. |
carto-create-builder-maps |
Author maps in CARTO Builder (layers, basemaps, styling, AI Agents) and copy them across orgs / profiles. |
carto-render-inline-map |
Render an ad-hoc deck.gl map inline in the chat via the CARTO MCP server. |
carto-preview-builder-map |
Preview an existing saved Builder map inline in the chat. |
carto-develop-app |
Generate from-scratch CARTO + deck.gl apps in TypeScript / JavaScript with auth, layers, widgets, and filters. |
Recipe skills that compose the platform skills above. Each carries trigger keywords so the agent routes on user intent (e.g. "find hotspots in this dataset" → carto-hotspot-analysis).
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
carto-hotspot-analysis |
Getis-Ord Gi* hotspots and spacetime hotspots. |
carto-spatial-autocorrelation |
Moran's I, LISA, HH/HL/LH/LL classification. |
carto-gwr |
Geographically Weighted Regression. |
carto-spatial-enrichment |
Demographics and spatial-features enrichment. |
carto-trade-area-analysis |
Catchment areas, isochrones, billboard scoring. |
carto-site-selection |
Site selection, cannibalization, twin-area discovery. |
carto-territory-planning |
Territory balancing and location allocation. |
carto-routing-od-analysis |
Routing, isolines, OD matrices. |
carto-geocoding |
Address-to-coordinate geocoding. |
carto-composite-scoring |
Composite indices, supervised/unsupervised scoring. |
carto-arcgis-migration |
End-to-end ArcGIS Portal / AGOL → CARTO migration (discover, migrate data, migrate maps). |
