Google Maps Platform's Agent Skills for writing map, places, routes, geocoding and environment features across web, Android, iOS and web service APIs, plus a Navigation SDK migration skill.
Access and use
npx skills add googlemaps/agent-skills. Installing it as a Gemini CLI extension also adds the Maps Code Assist MCP server, https://mapscodeassist.googleapis.com/mcp. The main skill tells the agent to fetch a skills index and sub-skills from www.gstatic.com on each request, with a client parameter naming the agent, and to send documentation questions to Google's Code Assist service. It also asks for a Google usage attribution ID, gmp_git_agentskills_v1, in the code it writes. For prototyping it points to the Maps Demo Key, which needs no billing account; production keys bill to a Google Cloud project. The README says it is not an officially supported Google product. Apache-2.0.
Who it is for
Developers whose coding agents add Google Maps features to an app.
