assets-pipeline

assets-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from jame581/GodotPrompter. It costs 29 tokens per session (3,605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to bringing images, 3D scenes, audio, and other files into Godot and managing the settings Godot creates for them. It explains import configuration, reimporting, and which generated files belong in version control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when importing or configuring textures, 3D scenes, audio, animations, and other Godot resources. It also covers compression, file formats, and import-related performance concerns.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes such as editing generated cache files, committing temporary data, or forgetting to reimport an asset after changing its settings.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

assets-pipeline 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 11d 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.

Assets Pipeline in Godot 4.3+

All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs. GDScript is shown first, then C#.

1. How Importing Works

The Import System

When you add a file to res://, Godot auto-imports it based on its type. Import settings are stored in .import sidecar files alongside the original.

project/
├── textures/
│   ├── player.png           ← original file (committed to VCS)
│   └── player.png.import    ← import settings (committed to VCS)
└── .godot/
    └── imported/            ← compiled cache (NOT committed — .gitignore it)

Key Rules

  • Never modify files in .godot/imported/ — they are regenerated from originals
  • Commit .import files to version control — they store your settings
  • Reimport after changing settings: select file → Import dock → click Reimport
  • .godot/ should be in your .gitignore

Changing Import Settings

  1. Select the file in the FileSystem dock
  2. Open the Import dock (next to Scene dock by default)
  3. Change settings
  4. Click Reimport (or Reimport All for batch changes)

Import settings can also be set via Advanced Import Settings for 3D scenes (double-click the .glb/.gltf file).


2. Image Import

Compression Modes

Mode Quality VRAM File Size Use For
Lossless Perfect High Large Pixel art, UI elements
Lossy Good High Small Large photos, backgrounds
VRAM Compressed Reduced Low Small 3D textures, large 2D sprites
VRAM Uncompressed Perfect High Large When VRAM compression artifacts are unacceptable
Basis Universal Reduced Low Very small Cross-platform, multiple GPU formats

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.
