Answer spatial/geographic questions with DuckDB's spatial extension - joins, distances, containment, format conversion, and free Overture Maps global data.
About
A DuckDB skill for answering spatial and geographic questions - it runs spatial joins, distance calculations, containment checks and density analysis, and converts between formats like GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage and GeoParquet. It taps Overture Maps' free global data on S3 with zero API keys. Reach for it when a solo builder needs to work with coordinates, addresses, maps or 'near/within/closest' queries without standing up a full GIS stack.
