Set up a Godot 4.7 3D scene: Node3D transforms, Camera3D, lighting (DirectionalLight3D/OmniLight3D), WorldEnvironment for sky/ambient/tonemap/post, MeshInstance3D materials, and GridMap for tile-based 3D levels. Use when building a 3D scene in a Godot project, placing cameras/lights, configuring environment and post-processing, or working with Node3D/.tscn 3D content and GridMap.

Build networked games with Godot 4.7 high-level multiplayer: set up an ENetMultiplayerPeer server/client, define RPCs with the @rpc annotation (call via rpc()/rpc_id()), set per-node multiplayer authority, and replicate state with MultiplayerSpawner and MultiplayerSynchronizer. Use when adding multiplayer/networking to a Godot project, writing @rpc functions, or syncing player/world state across peers.

Create, improve, debug and package playable 2D games in Go with Ebitengine (github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2). Use for Ebitengine game requests: game design translated into a complete loop, input, rendering, text, audio, scenes, gameplay tests and desktop, browser or mobile builds. Also use when fixing these systems in an existing Ebitengine game. Do not apply to unrelated Go software or engine-internal patches merely because they depend on Ebitengine.

Routes any game-development request to the right specialized skill(s): it detects the engine (Godot, Unity, Unreal, Ebitengine, Bevy, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Defold, LÖVE, pygame, Roblox) and the task, then reads the chosen skill before acting. Use to make a game or to decide which skill applies — for players, levels, enemies, shaders, art direction, sprites, tiles, textures, 3D assets, UI/UX, cameras, game feel, physics, input, audio, saving, multiplayer, AI, dialogue, procedural ge

Write Godot 4.7 shaders in the Godot Shading Language: canvas_item shaders for 2D and spatial shaders for 3D, with vertex/fragment functions, uniforms (source_color, hint_range), TIME/UV animation, and screen-reading via hint_screen_texture. Use when authoring .gdshader files, writing fragment/vertex code, making 2D/3D visual effects, or porting 3.x shaders (SCREEN_TEXTURE, hint_color) to 4.x.

Use C#/.NET in Godot 4.7: partial classes extending nodes, the PascalCase lifecycle (_Ready/_Process/_PhysicsProcess), [Export] fields, [Signal] delegates as C# events, type-safe node lookup, and calling between C# and GDScript. Use when writing Godot game code in C# (.cs files, .csproj), needing the Godot .NET build, converting GDScript patterns to C#, or wiring Godot signals as C# events.

Play and mix audio in Godot 4.7: AudioStreamPlayer (2D/3D variants), audio buses with volume/mute and effects, music vs SFX routing, db/linear volume, and precise sync-to-beat playback timing. Use when playing sounds or music in a Godot project, routing AudioStreamPlayer nodes to buses, adjusting bus volume via AudioServer, or syncing gameplay to the beat.

Design data-driven Godot 4.7 games with custom Resource classes: define typed data with class_name + @export, save/load .tres/.res files, instance and duplicate resources, and load on demand with ResourceLoader (incl. threaded loading). Use when modeling items/stats/configs as data in a Godot project, creating .tres resources, or working with custom Resource subclasses and ResourceLoader/ResourceSaver.

Structure a Godot 4.7 project with the scene tree and node composition: build reusable scenes, instance PackedScenes at runtime, navigate the tree safely, and register autoload singletons. Use when designing .tscn scenes, deciding how to split nodes, spawning instances with instantiate(), wiring autoloads, or fixing "node not found"/freed-node errors in a Godot project.

Export and build a Godot 4.7 project for distribution: install export templates, define export presets (Windows/macOS/Linux/Web/Android), run headless command-line exports for CI, and handle web (HTML5) COOP/COEP and dedicated-server/headless builds. Use when exporting a Godot game, configuring export_presets.cfg, building for web/desktop/mobile, or automating builds from the command line.

Write idiomatic GDScript for Godot 4.7: static typing, the node lifecycle (_ready/_process/_physics_process), @export/@onready/@tool annotations, signals, and await for asynchronous flow. Use when editing .gd scripts in a Godot project (project.godot), writing or debugging GDScript, or porting 3.x GDScript to 4.x (function signatures, yield to await, export to @export).

Add "juice" and game feel that makes actions satisfying — screen shake, hit-stop/freeze frames, tweened/eased motion, squash & stretch, knockback, and layered audio-visual feedback — as engine-neutral techniques that pair with the detected engine's tween, particle, and camera APIs. Use when the user mentions game feel, juice, "make it feel good/punchy", screen shake, hit stop, screen freeze, easing, squash and stretch, impact frames, or feedback/polish on hits, jumps, pickups, and deat

Plan, generate, source, normalize, and validate cohesive visual game assets. Use for art direction, style bibles, sprites, tilesets, backgrounds, UI art, icons, textures, concept art, or 3D asset briefs.

Build game cameras that feel good — 2D follow with a deadzone, look-ahead, smoothing, and level-bounds clamping; 3D third-person orbit with collision and first-person look; plus multi-target framing and a shake hook. Engine-neutral techniques that pair with the engine's camera node and rigs like Unity Cinemachine or Godot Camera2D/PhantomCamera. Use when the user mentions camera follow, follow camera, deadzone, look-ahead, camera smoothing, camera bounds/ limits, third-person camera, o

Architect game input — action mapping (abstracting keys into named actions), rebinding with conflict detection and persistence, multi-device support (keyboard, gamepad, touch), analog deadzones, and feel features like input buffering and coyote time, plus accessibility. Engine-neutral. Use when the user mentions input mapping, rebind controls, gamepad support, deadzone, input buffering, coyote time, or accessible controls.

Write game shaders from cross-engine fundamentals — the vertex→fragment pipeline, coordinate spaces, UV math, and common 2D/3D effects (tint, UV scroll, dissolve, outline, fresnel rim, vignette) in GLSL with HLSL equivalents. Use when the user mentions shaders, fragment/pixel shader, vertex shader, UV, GLSL, HLSL, or effects like dissolve, outline, or rim light.

Find and fix game performance problems methodically — measure with the engine profiler first, reason about the frame-time budget, locate the CPU-vs-GPU bottleneck, then apply the right fix: object pooling, draw-call batching, fewer allocations/GC spikes, and asset budgets. Engine- neutral method that pairs with each engine's profiler. Use when the user mentions performance, optimize, low/dropping FPS, frame drops, stutter, lag, profiler, frame budget, draw calls, batching, garbage coll

Build a playable prototype in about an hour to answer one question — is it fun? — with greybox primitives, a hard timebox, and explicit keep/kill criteria. Use when prototyping a mechanic, making a vertical slice or MVP, greyboxing/blockout, or judging throwaway vs keep.

Build a production behavior-tree runtime (Blackboard, action/condition leaves, sequence/selector/parallel composites, decorators) and a Utility AI system (response curves — linear, exponential, sigmoid, quadratic — considerations, and action evaluators), plus hybrid BT-drives-Utility agents. Use when implementing a reusable behavior-tree or utility-based decision system, or tuning enemy/NPC decisions beyond a simple FSM, or when the user mentions behavior tree, blackboard, decorator, s

Plan and ship a game under a jam deadline: lock scope to the clock, schedule the hours, cut features, and submit on time. Use for a game jam (Ludum Dare, GMTK Jam, Global Game Jam), a 48-hour or weekend build, or scoping and submitting a jam entry.

Design, implement, backfill, audit, and release in-game changelogs with contiguous versioning, deployment provenance, menu-state navigation, accessible toggle, close, and Escape behavior, and responsive release-ledger UI. Use when Codex needs to add or revise a changelog or version screen in a game, reconstruct release history from deployments and Git, define version-bump rules, keep displayed versions synchronized with live builds, or test changelog mechanics across desktop and mobile
