Author, edit, publish, and validate CARTO Builder maps via the `carto maps` CLI. Use when the user wants to create a map from a natural-language request, edit an existing map (datasets, layers, styling, privacy, popups, widgets, SQL parameters), duplicate one, upload custom marker icons, or wire up an AI agent on a map. Covers the full `carto maps` subcommand surface — `list`, `get`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `publish`, `validate`, `schema`, `agents`, `markers`, `screenshot`, `datasets update`.
Start here for first-time CARTO use — install the CLI, authenticate, switch profiles, understand JSON output and async job patterns. Also orients on the two parallel access paths into the CARTO platform (CLI for authoring/scripting, MCP server for inline interactions in chat hosts) and which skills cover each.
Write spatial SQL against the connected warehouse — dialect-specific guidance, performance defaults, and CARTO's query/job execution model.
Generate a working geospatial app powered by CARTO and deck.gl — basemap, layers (vector / H3 / quadbin / raster), widgets, filters, legend, inputs, optional chat-with-map agent, and the right auth strategy (public token, OAuth, SSO, or M2M).
Render an ad-hoc interactive map inline in the chat from a deck.gl declarative spec via the CARTO MCP server's view_map tool. Use whenever the user asks to map, visualize, or show the geographic distribution of points, polygons, hexagons, quadbins, clusters, density (heatmaps), or raster — and the map is exploratory or throwaway, not meant to be saved as a permanent CARTO Builder map. Triggers on "show me X on a map", "visualize Y", "make a heatmap of Z", "render the points/clusters/raster of W". Distinct from carto-create-builder-maps (CLI authoring of permanent maps), carto-preview-builder-map (loading an existing saved Builder map), and carto-develop-app (writing a from-scratch deck.gl app in TypeScript / JavaScript).
Guides the user through building composite score workflows when they ask about composite scores, indexes, multi-variable scores, ranking areas, site scoring, market potential, resilience indexes, risk indexes, weighted scores, PCA, or supervised/unsupervised scoring.

Org-level operations: managing users and invitations, monitoring quotas, auditing activity, and superadmin bulk ops on resources. Most of these commands require Admin or Superadmin role; non-admin users will see permission errors.
For querying activity data interactively (the exploratory side), use carto-query-datawarehouse/references/activity-queries.md. This skill is for the operational/admin surface around activity data.

users delete if the receiver-id isn't valid. Pass valid emails or user IDs; check via users get first.users delete requires a receiver to inherit the deleted user's resources. Without a receiver argument, the command fails. Plan handoff before deletion: carto users delete <departing-user> <receiving-user>.org stats shows what you can see. Some fields (AI limits, billing) only render for Admin/Superadmin. Don't assume the absence of a field means the resource doesn't exist.admin batch-delete deletes the listed resource IDs without further confirmation per item. Double-check the input list, or do a dry-run with admin list first.activity events, not the CLI return values. To answer "who deleted map X", query the MapDeleted events — see the activity-queries reference.
