awesome-gamedev-agent-skills
Make games with your AI coding agent, in the engine you already use. 79 skills for 12
engines: say what you're building, and a router loads the right 2 or 3 skills before your agent
writes code.

Agent Skills are small capability files an AI agent loads only when it
needs them. This repo gives your agent 79 game-dev skills and a router that picks the
right ones for you. You describe what you're building; the agent loads the matching engine and
task skills before it writes code.
- Cross-engine. Godot, Unity, Unreal, Ebitengine, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE, Defold, Roblox.
- You don't pick skills. The router detects your engine and task and loads only what fits.
- Art direction, not one-off generations. The asset workflow locks a visual target, builds
families, normalizes outputs deterministically, and checks them inside the game.
- Checked on the real engines. Every skill is written from official engine docs and pinned to
a current release (Godot 4.7.2, Unity 6.3 LTS, Unreal 5.8, Phaser 4.2.1, three.js r187 and
more, checked 2026-11-11). Code examples were run or compiled on the real toolchains for 10 of
the 12 engines, and in 366 blind test prompts the right skill loaded for 98.7% of the requests
that needed one. Results, method and limits ·
version support.

Quick start
One command, any agent. The skills CLI detects the
coding agent you already use and installs the router plus all 79 skills into the right place:
npx skills add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills
Add --list to preview first, -g to install for every project, or -a <agent> to target a
specific tool (-a cursor, -a claude-code, -a gemini-cli, …). The CLI needs Node.js 22.20 or
later. The same SKILL.md files load
natively in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, and
dozens more — there's nothing to convert.
Claude Code plugin (alternative). This repo is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace, so you
can install it with Claude's own commands:
claude plugin marketplace add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills
claude plugin install gamedev@awesome-gamedev-agent-skills
Building in only one engine? Install a smaller bundle — router plus your engine:
claude plugin install router@awesome-gamedev-agent-skills
claude plugin install godot@awesome-gamedev-agent-skills # or: unity · unreal · ebitengine · web-engines · other-engines
Install tip. If your agent already has many skills, install the router and your engine's
bundle instead of everything. Agents list every skill's description within a size limit, and
past that limit some descriptions are cut, which makes the right skill harder to pick. In Claude
Code the limit is 1% of the context window; raise it with the skillListingBudgetFraction
setting (for example 0.02) or set a character count with the SLASH_COMMAND_TOOL_CHAR_BUDGET
environment variable (Claude Code skills docs).
Prefer to copy the files by hand, or want the exact per-tool paths? See
docs/INSTALLATION.md.
Want to read the catalog as web pages instead? Every skill, engine group, and per-agent install
path is browsable at
gamedev-skills.github.io/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills,
generated straight from the SKILL.md files in this repo.
Then just talk to your agent — see below.
