build-scene

build-scene is a skill for Claude Code from n24q02m/better-godot-mcp. It costs 18 tokens per session (973 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for constructing Godot scenes, which are the saved objects and node hierarchies that make up a game level or interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build platformer and top-down characters, menus, and other scenes from tested node layouts with their required companion nodes.
Why use it?
It prevents common missing-node mistakes, such as creating a moving character without the collision shape needed for collisions.

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

build-scene 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 12d 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

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build Scene

Construct Godot scenes from proven patterns. Each pattern includes REQUIRED companion nodes that LLMs commonly forget.

Scene Patterns

Platformer Character

CharacterBody2D "Player"
  CollisionShape2D          # REQUIRED -- CharacterBody2D without this = no collisions
  Sprite2D                  # Visual representation
  AnimationPlayer           # Idle, run, jump, fall animations
  Camera2D                  # Follow camera
    position_smoothing_enabled = true
    position_smoothing_speed = 5.0

Companion rule: CharacterBody2D MUST have a CollisionShape2D child. Without it, move_and_slide() works but detects zero collisions.

Top-Down Character

CharacterBody2D "Player"
  CollisionShape2D          # REQUIRED
  Sprite2D
  NavigationAgent2D         # Pathfinding (if AI/NPC)
    path_desired_distance = 4.0
    target_desired_distance = 4.0

UI Screen

Control "MenuScreen"
  MarginContainer           # Prevents content touching edges
    VBoxContainer           # Vertical layout for menu items
      Label "Title"
      Button "StartButton"
      Button "OptionsButton"
      Button "QuitButton"

Companion rule: Always wrap UI content in MarginContainer first. Direct children of Control have no automatic margins.

Projectile

Area2D "Bullet"
  CollisionShape2D          # REQUIRED -- Area2D signals need this to detect overlaps
  Sprite2D
  VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D # Auto-cleanup when off-screen (connect screen_exited -> queue_free)

Companion rule: Area2D without CollisionShape2D will never emit body_entered or area_entered signals.

Pickup Item

Area2D "Coin"
  CollisionShape2D          # REQUIRED
  Sprite2D
  AudioStreamPlayer         # Pickup sound effect

Tilemap Level

Node2D "Level"
  TileMapLayer              # Godot 4.3+ (NOT TileMap -- deprecated)
  Camera2D
    limit_left = 0
    limit_top = 0

Note: TileMap node is deprecated in Godot 4.3+. Use TileMapLayer instead.

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.

build-scene is a skill published in the GitHub repository n24q02m/better-godot-mcp (37 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 973 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
