74 portable SKILL.md skills for Godot, Unity, Unreal, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE and Roblox, with a router.
Listed from the author's README. GameSkill has not run this end to end yet. Agent support and install steps are as documented by the author.
Install
npx skills add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills --skill camera-systemsInstalls only this skill. Add -a claude-code (puts it in .claude/skills/), -a codex or -a cursor (.agents/skills/) to choose the agent, and -g to install it for your user instead of the project.
Commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository before running anything on your machine.
Install for a specific agent
| Agents | -a | Folder |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude-code | .claude/skills/ |
| Codex | codex | .agents/skills/ |
| Cursor | cursor | .agents/skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | gemini-cli | .agents/skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot | github-copilot | .agents/skills/ |
| OpenCode | opencode | .agents/skills/ |
| Windsurf | windsurf | .windsurf/skills/ |
Add -a <flag> to the command. These are project folders; add -g to install for your user account instead.
What you get
- Worked steps: Godot 2D built-in follow: smoothing + bounds; Frame-rate-independent smooth follow; Deadzone + look-ahead; 3D third-person orbit with collision push-in
- A pitfalls section with the mistakes to avoid
- Bundled 1 reference doc the agent reads when needed
Good fit
- Requests about camera follow, follow camera, deadzone, look-ahead or camera smoothing

Give my 2D player a follow camera with a deadzone, look-ahead and level bounds.About this skill
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, orbit camera, first-person look, Cinemachine, or camera jitter.

What's inside
- Godot 2D built-in follow: smoothing + bounds (don't hand-roll first)
- Frame-rate-independent smooth follow (when you hand-roll it)
- Deadzone + look-ahead (lead the player, ignore jitter)
- 3D third-person orbit with collision push-in
- Screen shake hook (owned trigger lives in game-feel)
