Routes any game-development request to the right specialized skill(s): it detects the engine (Godot, Unity, Unreal, Bevy, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, LÖVE, pygame, Roblox) and the task, then reads the chosen skill before acting. Use to make a game or to decide which skill applies — for players, levels, enemies, shaders, art direction, sprites, tiles, textures, 3D assets, UI/UX, cameras, game feel, physics, input, audio, saving, multiplayer, AI, dialogue, procedural generation, or performance, for genres (platformer, roguelike, RPG, FPS, tower-defense, card game, visual novel, survival-crafting, puzzle), and for shipping (game jam, Steam, itch). Start here when unsure which gamedev skill to use.

Full routing table — every authored skill

The exhaustive task → category → skill lookup the router body summarizes. Every name here is a real folder at skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md. Trigger words (says:) and file signals (files:) are the cues that should select each skill. * in a binding is filled with the detected engine (router body §1); where an engine lacks the exact skill, see "Binding gaps".

Binding gaps (be honest; do not fabricate a skill)

The collection does not yet have a skill for every engine × concept. Several cross-cutting concerns are now covered engine-neutrally by disciplines that pair with any detected engine — camera work (camera-systems), HUD/menus (game-ui-ux), juice/feedback (game-feel), and performance (performance-optimization) — so those are no longer gaps; bind them on top of the engine. The remaining true gaps are engine-specific primitives. When a genre binding names a slot the detected engine lacks, load the closest skill(s) and state the gap plainly:

  • No *-2d-movement for Unity / Unreal / web. For a Unity platformer, bind movement to unity-csharp-scripting + unity-physics; for Phaser, phaser-arcade-physics. Say there is no dedicated unity-2d-movement skill.
  • No dedicated 3D-essentials for Unity. For a Unity FPS, use unity-csharp-scripting + unity-physics + unity-navmesh; only Godot has godot-3d-essentials and Unreal has unreal-cpp-gameplay.
  • No *-tilemap for web / Bevy / pygame / Roblox / LÖVE. Use level-design for the concept and the engine's rendering skill for drawing; note the missing engine tilemap skill.
  • No engine-specific save skill except Roblox. save-systems owns the concept and cites Godot IO; roblox-datastores is the one engine-specific persistence skill.
