v0.1.1 - Artifact to Engine

October 16, 2026

  • gdas-reader: reads a source tree, web bundle, asset folder, WASM module, or PE/ELF header into an evidence ledger. It is shared by both engines and is not part of either hub mirror.
  • godot-rea: emits a Godot 4.7 stub project from that ledger. Unknown behavior stays pass.
  • bevy-rea: emits a Bevy 0.20 stub crate from the same ledger. Empty systems stay empty until a Domain Skill fills them.
  • License gate: asset bytes are copied only when you pass a real license note and --allow-assets.

v0.1.0 - Bevy skills

October 11, 2026

  • Two engines: Godot 4.7+ under godot-master and Bevy 0.20+ under bevy-master, each with its own hub and Domain Skills.
  • Route by engine: Godot work starts at godot-master. Bevy work starts at bevy-master. There is no singular product-wide master.
  • Bevy Domain Skills: ECS ownership, rendering, gameplay, UI, platforms, and genre skills. Install one path at a time.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_11.webp" alt="Agent Eyes Update - v0.0.11" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.11 — Agent Eyes

  • 500 stars — thank you. That puts this repo in roughly the top 0.4% of all public GitHub repositories.
  • New — godot-agent-vision: agents get eyes — capture GUI / assets / editor viewports to budgeted WebP, then score what they see against a granular production rubric (typography-weighted, anti-slop, identity).
  • Cross-platform host CLI (Win / macOS / Linux) + TEMP editor bridge under .gdskills/ — not an in-game Autoload.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_10.webp" alt="Migration Station Update - v0.0.10" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.10 — Version Station

  • Version Station: New Architecture skill - godot-version-migration - full-history engine upgrades from early Godot through 4.7 (legacy eras, official 3 to 4, then hop-by-hop 4.x).
  • Per-skill version notes: Every Domain Skill ships references/migration-notes.md; Domain SKILL.md bodies stay on current APIs.
  • Routing: Analyst, Auditor, Builder, foundations, GDScript, and TileMap point engine-version work at that hub; godot-master routes upgrades there.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_9.webp" alt="The Reference Rail Update - v0.0.9" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.9 — The Reference Rail Update

  • The reference rail: Every Domain Skill now ends with curated official documentation (docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/) plus Related Skills (Prerequisites / Complements / Downstream / Master), so agents can research deeper without leaving the skill graph.
  • Script and reference footers: Research-link comment blocks on Domain Skill scripts and reference notes (marker GDSkills research links (agents)) - non-executing, file-specific, progressive disclosure.
  • SPECIAL MENTION — <a href="https://github.com/DedInc"><img src="https://wsrv.nl/?url=github.com/DedInc.png&w=64&h=64&mask=circle&fit=cover&maxage=1w" width="22" height="22" alt="@DedInc" /></a> @DedInc: First external Domain Skill — godot-monte-carlo-balancer — source-driven Monte Carlo balance lab (Rust + rayon), Resource-first extract, playstyle CI bands, economy careers, and headless Godot calibration. Thank you!
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_8.webp" alt="The Director's Cut Update - v0.0.8" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.8 — The Director's Cut Update

  • Godot 4.7 Director's Cut: Full library upgrade to Godot 4.7+ - AreaLight3D, HDR output, Asset Store, built-in virtual joystick, and a version digest for 4.6 to 4.7 projects.
  • Domain Skills: Renamed "Micro-Skills" to Domain Skills - 92 modular topic skills, each with a 4.7 baseline and targeted version deltas.
  • Persona Squad: Anara, Aurelius, and Builder updated for 4.7 scoring, never-lists, and GODOT_PATH CLI overrides.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_7.webp" alt="The Analyze, Audit, Build! Update - v0.0.7" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.7 — The Analyze, Audit, Build! Update

  • Three Persona-Based Skills: We introduced specialized agent skills for @godot-analyst (Anara), @godot-auditor (Aurelius), and @godot-builder to streamline and unify our persona development and code optimization workflows.
  • MCP Clean-up & Direct Building: Defunct MCP Setup and MCP Builder skills have been removed; we now use Auditor and Builder to construct and compile projects directly via the Godot CLI, maximizing native efficiency.
  • Full Skills Audit: Completed a comprehensive and rigorous audit of all microskills to elevate the knowledge depth and execution quality to the highest agentic standard.
  • Lead Architect Sync: Synchronized all audited advancements with the central godot-master hub, making the orchestrator smarter, faster, and more robust.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_6.webp" alt="The Expert Augmentation Update - v0.0.6" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.6 — The Expert Augmentation & Master Orchestration Update

  • Microskill Overhaul: We spent many hours updating all microskills to contain top expert-level knowledge, directly extracted from the Godot documentation. This massive update ensures all resources are true to the current engine state, empowering developers with best practices and reducing AI slop.
  • Godot Master Takes Control: We updated the godot-master skill to fully orchestrate and integrate this major skill update. It is now a true, all-in-one Godot Master skill!
  • Feedback Requested: We'd love your feedback on the new updates! The easiest way to share your thoughts is to open an issue or start a discussion on our GitHub.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_5.webp" alt="The Looper Update - v0.0.5" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.5 — The Looper Update

  • Resource Harvesting: Introduced godot-game-loop-harvest for interactive gathering, node depletion, and rarity-based drop tables.
  • Time Trials & Ghosts: Added godot-game-loop-time-trial with precise millisecond timing and ghost transform recording/playback.
  • Wave-Based Survival: Implemented godot-game-loop-waves for round-based difficulty scaling and dynamic enemy pool management.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_4.webp" alt="The Easter & Renewal Update - v0.0.4" width="100%" /> </div>

v0.0.4 — The Easter & Renewal Update

  • Seasonal Theming Identity: Introduced godot-theme-easter for safe, runtime aesthetic injection (StyleBox duplication & material swapping).
  • Core Loop Expansion: Added godot-game-loop-collection for volumetric procedural spawning and godot-mechanic-revival for "Souls-like" mortality.
  • Interaction Secrets: Implemented godot-mechanic-secrets for input sequence buffering (Konami code) and hidden discovery persistence.
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/banner_0_0_3.webp" alt="The Romance Update - v0.0.3" width="100%" /> </div>

The Philosophy

Game Dev Agentic Skills (GDAS) is an agent-first knowledge library for shipping real games — not AI slop. Each engine gets its own master and Domain Skills.

  • Godot 4.7+ is fully supported: doc-true patterns, personas, and production scripts under godot-master.
  • Bevy 0.20+ is fully supported: ECS ownership and Domain Skills under bevy-master.
  • Skills stay engine-scoped. Install one path so you do not trigger a Context Storm.

If this project helps your development or empowers your agents, please give it a star! 🌟

⚡ Quick Start

Choose one path so you do not trigger a "Context Storm" (flooding the agent with every skill at once).

Path A: Godot

New Godot project, or an existing one that needs a Godot 4.7+ standards check - install the Godot hub or one Godot Domain Skill:

npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/godot-master
# or one Domain Skill:
npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/godot-characterbody-2d

Path B: Bevy

Bevy work starts at the Bevy hub or one Bevy Domain Skill:

npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/bevy-master
# or one Domain Skill:
npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/bevy-ecs-composition

Path C: One specialist skill

Need a single feature and already know which skill owns it - install only that path (either engine):

npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/godot-inventory-system
npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/bevy-inventory-system

[!DANGER] NEVER use the --all flag when installing this repository (e.g., npx skills add ... --all). That is an "Instant No-No" — it forces your agent to load every metadata entry across 184 skills and triggers an unrecoverable Context Storm.

🧭 Agent Installation Rubric

Use this when installing via the skills CLI, or when an agent is reading this README after a repo clone (DIA path) instead of a normal plugin install.

Agent-a flagProject pathGlobal path
Cursorcursor.agents/skills/~/.cursor/skills/
Claude Codeclaude-code.claude/skills/~/.claude/skills/
Codexcodex.agents/skills/~/.codex/skills/
Windsurfwindsurf.windsurf/skills/~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/
Gemini CLIgemini-cli.agents/skills/~/.gemini/skills/
GitHub Copilotgithub-copilot.agents/skills/~/.copilot/skills/
OpenCodeopencode.agents/skills/~/.config/opencode/skills/

Rules

  1. Preferred install: one path only, for example npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/godot-master -g -a <agent> -y or npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/bevy-master -g -a <agent> -y (swap the skill path for a Domain Skill when needed).
  2. Verify: npx skills list -g -a <agent>
  3. Restart the host agent after install — most agents load skills once at session start.
  4. Clone / DIA path (no npx skills add): query skills_index.json, then read skills/<name>/SKILL.md with the agent's file tool. Do not hand-symlink into host skill dirs unless the user asks for that.
  5. Canonical store: ~/.agents/skills/ is the CLI's shared copy; per-agent discovery paths differ by design.

Troubleshooting

  • Skill installed but missing in the agent → confirm with npx skills list, re-run with the correct -a <agent>, then restart the agent.
  • Do not treat a manual Claude-only symlink into ~/.claude/skills/ as the default fix — that only helps one host.

🧠 Context Management: Performance Guidelines

To keep your AI agent fast and accurate, follow these "Expert Efficiency" rules:

1. The "Power of One" Rule

Either use an engine master (godot-master / bevy-master) OR individual Domain Skills — never both masters plus a pile of Domain Skills.

  • Godot Master is an "Orchestrator" skill. It is dense (~15k tokens) but provides a complete blueprint. Use it when the "Big Picture" matters.
  • Domain Skills are "Surgical" skills (~2-5k tokens). They are fast, reliable, and keep the agent focused on one specific API.

2. Why "Install All" Fails

Installing 184 skills simultaneously creates a "Metadata Flood":

  • Token Bleed: ~15,000 tokens are "permanently" used just to tell the agent which skills exist.
  • Instruction Conflicts: Having multiple overlapping expert instructions (e.g., 20+ different genre blueprints) can cause the agent to lose its specific focus.
  • Reasoning Lag: The model has to sift through 100+ KB of text before deciding what to do.

3. Repository Clones vs. Plugin Installs

  • Plugin Install (npx skills add): Copies/links the skill into your agent's skill directory (see Agent Installation Rubric). The agent can then discover it automatically. This is why installing too many at once causes a "Context Storm."
  • Repository Clone: If you merely clone this repo to a folder (e.g., Downloads/GDSkills), the agent will NOT auto-load skills unless you are working inside that directory. Use skills_index.json + read each SKILL.md with the agent's file tool (DIA loop below).
<div align="center"> <img src="assets/engine_godot.webp" alt="Godot hub" width="100%" /> </div>

godot-master is the hub for Godot 4.7+ projects. It orchestrates 99 Domain Skills, personas, workflows, and production scripts into one architectural framework. Install the hub or a single Domain Skill when you are shipping on Godot.

<details> <summary><b>Explore Godot</b></summary>

🏆 Godot Master - Godot hub

godot-master is the Godot hub. It orchestrates the Godot Domain Skills into one architectural framework for Godot 4.7+ projects. It does not route Bevy work. Bevy starts at bevy-master.

🎯 What Makes Godot Master Special?

Unlike individual Domain Skills that focus on isolated features, godot-master is your system architect. It provides:

📚 Comprehensive Knowledge Base

  • 100 Reference Documents: Complete markdown guides for every skill, from foundations to advanced genres
  • 982 Unique Production Scripts: Battle-tested, production-ready GDScript implementations
  • 11 Workflow Patterns: Step-by-step architectural workflows (scaffolding, entity orchestration, persistence, optimization, multiplayer, Builder CLI scene builds, etc.)

🧠 Expert Frameworks

  • Architectural decision guide: Choose the right pattern for your project (component-driven, event-driven, resource-streaming, deterministic networking)
  • 15 Anti-Patterns: Explicit "NEVER DO THIS" rules with non-obvious explanations (e.g., why get_tree().root.get_node() breaks, why load() in _process kills performance)
  • Performance Budgets: Concrete numbers for mobile/desktop targets (draw calls, triangle counts, script time)
  • Server API Patterns: Expert escape hatch for 10K+ entities using RenderingServer/PhysicsServer RIDs

🏗️ The Layer Cake Architecture

Godot Master enforces a signal-based separation of concerns:

    LOGIC -->|Signals ⬆️| DATA[💾 DATA<br/>Resources / .tres / Stats]

Critical Rule: Signals travel UP only. Presentation layer never modifies Data directly. Infrastructure speaks exclusively through signals.

🏆 Bevy Master - Bevy hub

bevy-master is the Bevy hub. It orchestrates the Bevy Domain Skills into one architectural framework for Bevy 0.20+ apps. It does not route Godot work. Godot starts at godot-master.

🎯 What Makes Bevy Master Special?

Unlike individual Domain Skills that focus on isolated features, bevy-master is your system architect. It provides:

Comprehensive knowledge base

  • Hub plus 82 Domain Skills: composition, rendering, gameplay, UI, platforms, adaptation, and genre skills
  • ECS ownership: every piece of state names a component or resource, a system that may mutate it, and the message or observer that should see it
  • Schedule literacy: app setup, plugins, states, and the order systems actually run

Expert frameworks

  • Architectural decision guide: component vs resource vs plain struct, app state vs per-entity mode, messages vs observers
  • Anti-patterns: Godot types inside a Bevy crate, an entity spawned for every config value, systems that mutate data they do not own
  • Plugin boundaries: features live in plugins; the hub tells you which Domain Skill to open next
  • Data rules: data that is not simulated stays a resource or a plain Rust struct

The schedule architecture

Bevy Master enforces ownership along the schedule, not a scene tree:

graph TD
    APP[APP SETUP<br/>App / plugins / states] --> ECS[COMPONENTS / RESOURCES / SYSTEMS]
    PLUG[PLUGINS AND STATES] --> APP
    ECS --> DOMAIN[DOMAIN BEVY SKILLS<br/>one feature at a time]

    style APP fill:#1f2937,stroke:#58A6FF,stroke-width:2px,color:#fff

    style DOMAIN fill:#1f2937,stroke:#F778BA,stroke-width:2px,color:#fff

Critical rule: Name the owner before you write the system. A system reads and writes only the data it owns.

All skills are catalogued in the machine-readable skills_index.json with keywords, descriptions, and dependency chains.

[!NOTE] This JSON index is a repository-level file and is only present if you have cloned the source repository.

🤖 For Agents — The Discovery-Ingestion-Application Protocol

AI agents must follow the DIA loop for maximum quality:

1. Discovery

Query skills_index.json and pick the engine first.

Godot example: "smooth character movement" -> godot-characterbody-2d, then godot-master if the project needs architecture.

Bevy example: "ECS player movement" -> bevy-character-movement, then bevy-master if ownership and schedules are still open.

2. Ingestion

Agents must not implement from general training data alone.

Read the chosen SKILL.md with the file tool. Godot skills carry Godot 4.7+ nuances (StringName lookups, signal direction). Bevy skills carry ECS ownership (Component, Resource, Query, Commands, .chain(), Fixed / FixedMain).

Complex Godot projects: load godot-master. Complex Bevy projects: load bevy-master. Do not load both hubs for one task.

3. Application

Follow the skill chain in the skill header. Apply patterns from the deepest dependency upward, staying inside the same engine.

Godot workflow:

User: "Build a player controller" (Godot)
Agent: Query skills_index.json -> godot-characterbody-2d
Agent: Read dependencies (godot-composition, godot-state-machine-advanced) first
Agent: Implement movement on top of those patterns

Bevy workflow:

User: "Build a player controller" (Bevy)
Agent: Query skills_index.json -> bevy-character-movement
Agent: Read bevy-master if component vs resource is unclear
Agent: Implement locomotion on Fixed / FixedMain

Anti-Erosion Policy

Documentation stays in sync with implementation. When a Godot 4 or Bevy 0.20 API changes, update the relevant SKILL.md.

🏗️ Infrastructure Integration

Godot programmatic building (godot-builder)

Godot scene scaffolding and headless automation go through godot-builder (also mirrored in godot-master Workflow 11). Use Godot CLI scripts such as create_scene.py, add_node.py, and run_project.py.

Bevy apps scaffold through Cargo and bevy-project-foundations (App::new(), DefaultPlugins / MinimalPlugins). Do not point Bevy tasks at godot-builder.

Project standards

Godot code follows Godot 4.7+ conventions:

  • Static typing: func move(vec: Vector2) -> void:
  • Signal / Callable / Tween (Godot 4 syntax)
  • StringName for performance-critical lookups
  • Component composition over deep inheritance

🤝 Contributing

We welcome contributions from developers and agents!

📖 Read the full contribution guide: CONTRIBUTING.md

Quick Guidelines:

  • Every skill must provide Expert Knowledge Delta (not tutorials)
  • Include anti-patterns with non-obvious explanations
  • Godot skills: Godot 4.7+ GDScript, statically typed, scripts parse without warnings
  • Bevy skills: Bevy 0.20+ Rust, ECS ownership explicit, no Godot types in Bevy crates

Submit: Open an issue with [Request] tag or submit a PR describing the knowledge delta your skill adds.
