A development guide for Godot, a game engine used to build games and interactive applications. It covers the engine's scene structure, scripting, resources, signals, physics, input, and related systems, with attention to Godot 4.x.

Use it when building or changing a Godot project. It supports work on typed GDScript, scenes and nodes, movement, collisions, raycasts, input, signals, autoloads, and the SceneTree.

It helps developers use Godot's current project structure and coding patterns while checking which version a project actually uses. Version-specific advice may need rechecking as Godot changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00214	$0.02238
Opus 5	$0.00107	$0.01119
Sonnet 5	$0.00043	$0.00448
Haiku 4.5	$0.00021	$0.00224

Security

Grade A, and why

godot 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.

Godot Development

This skill tracks the current stable Godot, captured as a dated snapshot. The paradigms (typed GDScript, TileMapLayer over TileMap, annotation and signal syntax, call-down-signal-up) move slowly. The exact version numbers and per-release breaking changes move fast, so the version-specific facts are dated and meant to be re-verified.

Snapshot and freshness

Snapshot date: 2026-06-19 (the date in the frontmatter). The snapshot currently targets the Godot 4.x line, with 4.7 as the current stable. Each reference file also carries its own Verified date.
Check the project's Godot version first. Read project.godot for config/features (e.g. PackedStringArray("4.7", ...)) and the editor version. The installed major.minor decides which pitfalls and APIs apply. Never assume it from memory.
Staleness rule. If today is well past a reference file's Verified date, or a new Godot minor has shipped, treat that file's version-specific claims (breaking changes, "new in" features, default-changed behavior) as suspect and confirm against the official release notes. The core paradigm sections age far slower than the version notes.
Updating. When a claim matters for the task, confirm it against the official Godot docs or the release notes for that version, then refresh the reference file and bump its Verified line. Maintainers: see MAINTENANCE.md.

Core Rules

Always use static typing - typed GDScript is significantly faster and catches errors at parse time
Use TileMapLayer, not TileMap - TileMap is deprecated since 4.3
Use annotation syntax - @export, @onready, @tool (not the old keywords)
Use the current signal syntax - signal.connect(callable), signal.emit()
Call down, signal up - parents call children, children emit signals
Never combine @onready with @export - @onready overrides exported values

What ships with it

24 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

godot is a skill published in the GitHub repository Vollkorn-Games/godot-mcp (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 214 tokens to every session and 2,238 once invoked, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-31.

Game development

gameobject-component-destroy

Destroy one or more Components from a target GameObject. Missing (null) components are skipped — they cannot be destroyed. Use 'gameobject-find' and 'gameobject-component-get' to identify the components first.

unity-version-split

Split a C# file into Unity 6.5+ and pre-Unity 6.5 variants. Use when a file needs different implementations for different Unity versions due to API changes (e.g., EntityId vs int, GetEntityId vs GetInstanceID).

godot-signals-groups

Build event-driven, decoupled Godot 4.7 gameplay with signals and node groups: declare and emit custom signals, connect with Callables (incl. bind/one-shot), and broadcast to many nodes via groups and callgroup. Use when wiring node communication in a Godot project, replacing tight references with signals…
