Author here. You should be able to first download OpenStreetMap tiles in PMTiles format (http://github.com/protomaps/pmtiles) and then write out a new augmented tileset in the same format. It's a use case I want to have first-class support for, but the tooling doesn't exist yet.

To elabore on my comment, I was more wondering about how I generate those tiles from non-tiled raw PBF country extracts on Geofabrik.


The tile generation from PBF (actually OSMX) is not one of the parts that is open source; for that task I would look at https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker or https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles


I've already known about those, but thank you anyway.
