## Structure

- `catalog.json` → one child Collection, **SkySatCollect** (`SkySatCollect.json`): post-event
  ~0.7 m SkySat collects, 8–9 June 2026. 5 scene Items under `SkySatCollect/<scene>.json`.
- STAC-GeoParquet index of the scenes: `SkySatCollect/items.parquet`.
- (Post-event only — no pre-event baseline in this release.)

## Items & assets

- One Item per scene; Item id = the Planet SkySat scene id (e.g. `20260608_232426_ssc1_u0001`).
- Asset keys:
  - `visual` — true-colour RGB COG (uint8, ~0.7 m), display-ready
  - `analytic` — pansharpened multiband COG (uint16), for analysis
  - `udm2` — Usable Data Mask 2 (clear / cloud / shadow / haze + confidence)
  - `udm` — Unusable Data Mask (single band)
  - `thumbnail` — small PNG preview
  - `metadata` — Planet item metadata (JSON sidecar)
- Item properties include `datetime`, `gsd` (~0.68), `eo:cloud_cover`, view/sun angles,
  `constellation` (skysat), `platform`, `proj:code`.
- Asset hrefs are absolute public https URLs to the COGs (no account or API key required).

## Data access

```sql
INSTALL spatial; LOAD spatial; INSTALL httpfs; LOAD httpfs;
SELECT id, datetime, assets['visual']['href'] AS visual_cog
FROM read_parquet(
  'https://data.source.coop/planet/disasterdata/philippines-earthquake-2026-06-08/SkySatCollect/items.parquet')
ORDER BY properties['eo:cloud_cover'];
```

```python
import rasterio
from rasterio.windows import from_bounds
with rasterio.open(visual_cog) as ds:            # /vsicurl streams only the needed bytes
    rgb = ds.read(window=from_bounds(*bbox, ds.transform))
```

## Explore with AI

Point Claude Code (https://claude.com/claude-code) or another agent at this llms.txt and ask
it to, e.g., "map the clearest SkySat scene of the affected area" or "render an RGB preview
of each scene."
