godot-gdscript
GDScript programming skill for Godot Engine, including signals, coroutines, and performance optimization.
Best use case
godot-gdscript is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
GDScript programming skill for Godot Engine, including signals, coroutines, and performance optimization.
Teams using godot-gdscript should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Godot GDScript Skill
GDScript programming for Godot Engine development.
## Overview
This skill provides capabilities for implementing game logic using GDScript, Godot's Python-like scripting language.
## Capabilities
### Language Features
- Classes and inheritance
- Signals and connections
- Coroutines with await
- Static typing
### Node Interaction
- Scene tree navigation
- Node references
- Group management
- Signal connections
### Performance
- Object pooling patterns
- Cache node references
- Optimize loops
- Use typed arrays
### Best Patterns
- State machines
- Singletons (autoload)
- Resource management
- Export variables
## Prerequisites
- Godot 4.0+
- GDScript knowledge
## Usage Patterns
### Signal Pattern
```gdscript
class_name Player extends CharacterBody2D
signal health_changed(new_health: int)
signal died
@export var max_health: int = 100
var health: int = max_health
func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
health = max(0, health - amount)
health_changed.emit(health)
if health <= 0:
died.emit()
```
### Coroutine Pattern
```gdscript
func spawn_enemies() -> void:
for i in range(10):
spawn_enemy()
await get_tree().create_timer(1.0).timeout
```
## Best Practices
1. Use static typing
2. Cache node references in _ready
3. Use signals for decoupling
4. Prefer composition over inheritance
5. Profile with built-in profiler
