Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00047 | $0.03652 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01826 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00730 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00365 |
Grade A, and why
3d-essentials scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts

3D Essentials in Godot 4.3+
All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs. GDScript is shown first, then C#.
Related skills: player-controller for CharacterBody3D movement, physics-system for 3D collision shapes and raycasting, camera-system for Camera3D follow and transitions, shader-basics for spatial shaders and post-processing, godot-optimization for 3D performance tuning, animation-system for AnimationTree and 3D animation blending.
1. 3D Coordinate System & Core Nodes
Coordinate System
Godot uses a right-handed coordinate system with metric units (1 unit = 1 meter):
| Axis | Direction | Color |
|---|---|---|
| X | Right | Red |
| Y | Up | Green |
| Z | Out of screen (+Z toward viewer) | Blue |
Cameras and lights point along -Z by default. When a character "faces forward," they look along -Z.
Essential 3D Nodes
| Node | Purpose |
|---|---|
Node3D |
Base transform node — position, rotation, scale |
MeshInstance3D |
Displays a mesh with a material |
Camera3D |
Required to render 3D — perspective or orthogonal |
DirectionalLight3D |
Sun/moon — parallel rays, cheapest light |
OmniLight3D |
Point light — emits in all directions |
SpotLight3D |
Cone light — flashlights, spotlights |
WorldEnvironment |
Sky, fog, tonemap, post-processing |
Decal |
Projected texture onto surfaces |
GPUParticles3D |
GPU-driven particle effects |
CSGBox3D etc. |
Constructive Solid Geometry — prototyping |
GridMap |
3D tile-based level building |
Godot 4.7+:
GridMapexposes its internal octants for spatial queries (cell_octant_size,get_used_octants(),get_octants_in_bounds()and friends) so you can scope work to a region instead of walking every cell.CSGShape3Dgainsautosmooth/smoothing_anglefor automatic face smoothing.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

3d-essentials is a skill published in the GitHub repository jame581/GodotPrompter (677 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 3,652 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
