google-maps-platform
Google's main agent skill for writing code against Google Maps Platform.
What the skill teaches
Google's main agent skill for writing code against Google Maps Platform. When loaded, it tells the coding agent how to approach any Maps task on the web, Android, iOS or the web service APIs: it first fetches a published index of more specific Maps skills and current documentation, then follows rules on safe and cost-aware API use, terms of service and avoiding retired APIs. It covers maps, places, geocoding, routing, Street View, 3D maps and environmental data such as air quality and pollen. For prototypes it points to a public demo key; for production it asks the user to create a restricted key. It can fall back to the Code Assist MCP server for documentation.
