Unreal Engine Skills (quodsoler)

31 Unreal Engine C++ skills checked against the UE 5.8 headers: gameplay framework, GAS, animation, networking, rendering, AI, UI, tools and more.

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

Any agent (skills CLI)
npx skills add quodsoler/unreal-engine-skills --skill ue-project-context ue-character-movement

Installs this skill plus ue-project-context, which writes the project document every skill in this pack reads first. 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.
