Install
npx skills add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills --skill godot-nodes-scenesInstalls 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.

- A pitfalls section with the mistakes to avoid
- Bundled 1 reference doc the agent reads when needed

Restructure my project into reusable scenes with an autoload for game state.About this skill
Structure a Godot 4.7 project with the scene tree and node composition: build reusable scenes, instance PackedScenes at runtime, navigate the tree safely, and register autoload singletons. Use when designing .tscn scenes, deciding how to split nodes, spawning instances with instantiate(), wiring autoloads, or fixing "node not found"/freed-node errors in a Godot project.

What's inside
- Instance a scene at runtime
- Safe node access: $, get_node_or_null, and unique names
- An autoload singleton (global game state)
