What it does

Once installed, the agent knows how to set up globe.gl, a JavaScript library that draws an interactive 3D Earth in a web page. It can write starter code for showing data on the globe as points, arcs, polygons, labels and similar layers, and it gives tips on sizing and performance. The skill only shapes the agent's written answers and code; it does not run anything on your machine by itself.

Great for

  • Front-end developers building a data map or globe visualization for a website
  • Designers prototyping an interactive globe with overlays such as flight routes or city markers
  • Data people who want a quick 3D view of geographic datasets

Skip it if

  • Flat 2D maps or charts, where a library like Leaflet or D3 is simpler (globe.gl is only for 3D globes)
  • Production work that needs guaranteed mobile performance without testing, since the skill itself warns that large point counts can be slow on phones
  • Anyone expecting the skill to handle non-web environments; it targets plain HTML or React only

Try asking

  • “Create a plain HTML page with a globe.gl globe showing city points from my CSV”
  • “Add arcs between these airports on a dark neon-style globe”
  • “Set up react-globe.gl in my Next.js dashboard with polygon country highlights”
  • “Make the globe fill a responsive container and reduce point count for mobile”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Tell the agent up front whether you use plain HTML, ESM bundling, or React so it picks the right snippet.
  • Describe the exact layers and fields you need (for example lat, lng, value) so the code matches your data.
  • Ask for a darker globe texture if you want neon-style overlays, and test the page on a phone before shipping.
