Game Dev Agentic Skills (GDAS) - agent library for Godot 4.7+ and Bevy 0.20+
"A skill forgotten is a power lost." — The Code Architect
Brought to you by Divergent AI
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.
📜 Update Archive
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.
- 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.
- 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; DomainSKILL.mdbodies stay on current APIs. - Routing: Analyst, Auditor, Builder, foundations, GDScript, and TileMap point engine-version work at that hub;
godot-masterroutes upgrades there.
- 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 —
@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!
- 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_PATHCLI overrides.
- Three Persona-Based Skills: We introduced specialized agent skills for
@godot-analyst(Anara),@godot-auditor(Aurelius), and@godot-builderto streamline and unify our persona development and code optimization workflows. - MCP Clean-up & Direct Building: Defunct
MCP SetupandMCP Builderskills 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-masterhub, making the orchestrator smarter, faster, and more robust.
- 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-masterskill 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.
- Resource Harvesting: Introduced
godot-game-loop-harvestfor interactive gathering, node depletion, and rarity-based drop tables. - Time Trials & Ghosts: Added
godot-game-loop-time-trialwith precise millisecond timing and ghost transform recording/playback. - Wave-Based Survival: Implemented
godot-game-loop-wavesfor round-based difficulty scaling and dynamic enemy pool management.
- Seasonal Theming Identity: Introduced
godot-theme-easterfor safe, runtime aesthetic injection (StyleBox duplication & material swapping). - Core Loop Expansion: Added
godot-game-loop-collectionfor volumetric procedural spawning andgodot-mechanic-revivalfor "Souls-like" mortality. - Interaction Secrets: Implemented
godot-mechanic-secretsfor input sequence buffering (Konami code) and hidden discovery persistence.
- New Genre Mastery: Introduced the comprehensive Romance & Dating Sim skill set.
- Master Integration: Unified the Romance skill into the godot-master orchestration layer.
- Production Scripts: Added battle-tested GDScript patterns for affection tracking, relationship routing, and date events.
- Unified Architecture: Upgraded
godot-masterto an all-in-one orchestration layer for all 87 specialized skills. - Decision trees: Integrated expert-level Godot 4 architectural decision trees and anti-pattern guides.
- Workflow Scaffolding: Added programmatic scene building and project initialization patterns.
- The Foundation: Released the initial library of 80+ Godot 4.x Agentic Skills.

- Core Systems: Atomic implementations for 2D, 3D, UI, and Gameplay fundamentals.
Game Dev Agentic Skills is one product with per-engine trees. Pick the master for the engine you are shipping — there is no singular product-wide master.
| Engine | Master | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Godot 4.7+ | godot-master | 99 Domain Skills, personas, workflows, production scripts |
| Bevy 0.20+ | bevy-master | ECS hub plus 82 Domain Skills |
Install one engine master or one Domain Skill — never --all. Pick the engine you are shipping; skills stay engine-scoped.

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! 🌟
Choose one path so you do not trigger a "Context Storm" (flooding the agent with every skill at once).
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-2dBevy 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-compositionNeed 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
--allflag 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.
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.

Rules
- Preferred install: one path only, for example
npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/godot-master -g -a <agent> -yornpx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills/skills/bevy-master -g -a <agent> -y(swap the skill path for a Domain Skill when needed). - Verify:
npx skills list -g -a <agent> - Restart the host agent after install — most agents load skills once at session start.
- Clone / DIA path (no
npx skills add): queryskills_index.json, then readskills/<name>/SKILL.mdwith the agent's file tool. Do not hand-symlink into host skill dirs unless the user asks for that. - Canonical store:
~/.agents/skills/is the CLI's shared copy; per-agent discovery paths differ by design.
- 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.
To keep your AI agent fast and accurate, follow these "Expert Efficiency" rules:
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.
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.
- 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. Useskills_index.json+ read eachSKILL.mdwith the agent's file tool (DIA loop below).
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.
Explore Godot
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.
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, whyload()in_processkills 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:

Explore Bevy
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.
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:

Data that is not simulated can stay a plain Rust struct or a resource. Do not spawn an entity for every config value.
Bevy Domain Skills are modular Bevy 0.20+ modules. Install bevy-master or one skill below. 82 Domain Skills sit with the hub. Schedules replace a scene tree: name the component, the resource, and the system.

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.
AI agents must follow the DIA loop for maximum quality:
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.
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.
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
Documentation stays in sync with implementation. When a Godot 4 or Bevy 0.20 API changes, update the relevant SKILL.md.
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.
Godot code follows Godot 4.7+ conventions:
- Static typing:
func move(vec: Vector2) -> void: Signal/Callable/Tween(Godot 4 syntax)StringNamefor performance-critical lookups- Component composition over deep inheritance
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.
