geopandas · davila7 — Claude Code skill: geodata and setup

This skill gives Claude Code a workflow for reading, transforming, and analyzing vector geodata. Use it for spatial operations, coordinate systems, area calculations, and maps.

What geopandas does

The skill equips Claude Code to work with GeoPandas-style vector data. It covers loading and exporting Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, Parquet, and PostGIS data, changing coordinate reference systems, buffering shapes, dissolving boundaries, spatial joins, overlays, and clipping.

Its guidance includes GeoSeries and GeoDataFrame, filtered reads, Arrow-backed file output, geometry operations, and map creation. Optional packages named in the skill cover interactive maps, classification schemes, PostGIS connections, basemaps, and cartographic projections.

Area and distance results depend on the coordinate system. Use a projected CRS for those calculations and check the layer CRS before running them.

What it helps with

  • read vector layers from GeoJSON or GeoPackage
  • transform a layer into another CRS
  • join points to polygons by spatial relation
  • calculate geometry areas and distances
  • export analysis results to GeoPackage or PostGIS

Example prompts for the agent

  • Inspect data.geojson, check its CRS, and calculate feature areas.
  • Join points.geojson to the polygon layer by location, then save the result as results.gpkg.
  • Create an interactive map using the population column and save it to map.html.

Questions about geopandas

How do I install geopandas in Claude Code?

Run npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill scientific/geopandas.

What does the geopandas skill do?

It guides Claude Code through vector-data work with GeoPandas, including file I/O, CRS transforms, spatial analysis, geometry operations, and maps.

Which CRS should I use for area and distance calculations?

Use a projected CRS. Check the layer CRS first, then transform it when the current CRS is not suitable for measurement.
