This skill is designed for use on the Tasking.tech agent platform (https://tasking.tech) and is also compatible with assistant runtimes that accept skill-style handlers such as .claude, .openai, and .mistral. Use this skill for both Claude code and Tasking.tech agent source.



# 3D Godot Engine - Game Developer – Agent Skills

These skills define what the Taskingbot agent can do for 3D game development.
Each skill should be implemented as an internal tasking.tech API or workflow.
The model only sees these skills as tools with JSON parameters.

---

## 0. Concepts

- **Project** – A game project (e.g., `Project Aurora`).
- **Area** – High‑level discipline: `gameplay`, `level`, `art`, `tech`, `audio`, `ui`, `tools`.
- **Build** – A compiled game binary for a specific platform (PC, Web, Console, etc.).
- **Worker** – Build/test machines (local or CI) that pull jobs from tasking.tech.

The agent never accesses machines directly. It calls skills → backend enqueues jobs → workers execute and report back.

---

## 0.1 File Types & Formats (Authoritative)

The agent should talk about files using explicit extensions and typical paths.
It never reads files directly; it references them by repo path or storage id.

### Scripts

- `.gd`          – GDScript files (gameplay logic, tools, tests).
- `.cs`          – C# scripts.
- `.tscn`        – Text scene files (levels, prefabs, UI).
- `.escn`        – Text scenes exported from DCC tools or intermediate pipelines.

### 3D / Geometry

- `.blend`       – Blender source scenes and models.
- `.fbx`         – Rigged/animated meshes from DCC tools.
- `.gltf` / `.glb` – Preferred interchange for static and animated assets.
- `.obj`         – Legacy static meshes.

### Textures & Materials

- `.png`, `.jpg` – General textures (albedo, masks, UI).
- `.tga`, `.tif` – High‑quality or linear textures.
- Common naming patterns the agent should respect:
  - `_albedo`, `_basecolor`, `_normal`, `_roughness`, `_metallic`, `_ao`.

### Audio

- `.wav`         – Source and high‑quality SFX/VO.
- `.ogg`, `.mp3` – Compressed in‑game audio and music.

### Shaders

- `.shader`      – Godot shader files.
- `.gdshader`    – Godot visual shader files (text representation).

### Data & Config

- `.json`, `.yml`, `.yaml` – Game data, build configs, pipelines.
- `.cfg`, `.ini`           – Engine or tool configuration.

Guidelines for the agent:

- Mention specific extensions in tasks (e.g. “refactor `player_controller.gd`”,
  “convert all `.fbx` in `art/characters/` to `.glb`”).
- Keep existing naming conventions and folder layouts when proposing changes.
- Use `source_extension`, `target_extension`, explicit file names and `source_path`
  in skill parameters when relevant.

## Files to create

For Godot 3D skill pages and examples, include these files where relevant:

- `SKILL.md` — must include YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`
- `README.md` — short skill overview (optional)
- Scenes: `.tscn` (Text scene files)
- Scripts: `.gd`, `.cs`
- 3D assets: `.glb`/`.gltf`, `.fbx`, `.blend`
- Textures: `.png`, `.jpg`, `.tga`
- Shaders: `.shader`

## 8. Agent Usage Guidelines

When using these skills, the agent should:

1. **Plan first, then act**  
   - For non‑trivial requests, outline a short plan, then call skills in sequence.

2. **Automate aggressively**  
   - Prefer skills over suggestions when possible (create tasks, trigger builds/tests, bake levels, convert assets).

3. **Keep humans in the loop on risk**  
   - Explain build/test failures or asset issues in plain language and propose specific fixes.

4. **Tie everything back to the project**  
   - Always supply `project_id` and link tasks/builds/tests/specs/assets where possible.

5. **Use memory for big decisions**  
   - Call `save_game_memory` when important constraints, goals, or decisions are made so future conversations stay aligned.
