Skills in this Repo

Skill	Description	Path
Google Maps Platform	A collection of skills for architecting and implementing production-ready code using Google Maps Platform APIs and SDKs for any map, place, address, geocoding, routing/ETA (including eco-friendly routing), nearby search, 3D / Street View / static map, marker clustering, custom styling, drawing, geofencing, heatmap, or environmental (air-quality / pollen / solar / weather) feature — across Web, Android, iOS, and Web Services APIs. For prototyping, use the public Maps Demo Key — no billing setup and no Cloud project required, covering a growing set of the most popular Google Maps Platform APIs. For production, the skill prompts you to create and restrict your own key. All non-trivial code is grounded in freshly retrieved docs via the Google Maps Platform Code Assist service (no reliance on training-data memory).	`skills/google-maps-platform/SKILL.md`
