  • A new Godot system

What it does

Godot Grill is an agent skill from jame581/GodotPrompter. Use when a new Godot system or feature has open design decisions — interrogates them in batched rounds, scope first, each question with a recommended answer, and records the answers before any design or code. Triggers on "grill me", "ask me first", "question me on the design", "what do I need to decide before building". Not for choosing between nodes or APIs, and not for bug fixes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. It works with Godot. The repository describes itself as: Agentic skills framework for Godot 4.x. Domain-specific skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot, Antigravity, Cursor). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A new Godot system
  • Feature has open design decisions — interrogates them in batched rounds
  • Each question with a recommended answer
  • Records the answers before any design

Example prompts

  • “grill me”
  • “ask me first”
  • “question me on the design”
  • “/godot-grill”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Decisions, not facts
  2. The seeded dependency tree
  3. Rounds
  4. Ending the grill
  5. The decision record
  6. Anti-patterns

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e7d79d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Godot Grill loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 908 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when a new Godot system or feature has open design decisions — interrogates them in batched rounds, scope first, each question with a recommended answer, and records the answers before any design or code. Triggers on "grill me", "ask me first", "question me on the design", "what do I need to decide before building". Not for choosing between nodes or APIs, and not for bug fixes.

Godot Grill

Settle the decisions only the developer can make, before anyone designs a scene tree or writes code. The output is a decision record, not a design.

Related skills: godot-brainstorming for the scene tree, signal map, and plan once decisions are settled, scene-organization for composition vs. inheritance trade-offs, godot-mentor for teaching-mode delivery of what follows.

1. Decisions, not facts

Ask only what only the user knows: intent, constraints, priorities, taste.

Node types, API signatures, and version differences are facts. Look them up (godot-brainstorming/references/node-selection.md, the domain skills), decide, and record the choice. Never spend a question on one.

Architecture choices — data home, state representation, save format — are decided from the user's answers, not asked as technology picks. Ask the constraint behind them ("will designers edit items in the Inspector?"), then map the answer to Resource .tres yourself.

QuestionVerdict
"Throwaway prototype, or a system other code builds on?"Decision — ask
"Should the player be a CharacterBody2D or a RigidBody2D?"Fact — decide, record it
"When two clients disagree, who is right?"Decision — ask
"Can a Tween chain steps in 4.3?"Fact — never ask

2. The seeded dependency tree

Four roots have no prerequisites:

RootOptions
Scopethrowaway slice / one feature / a system others build on
Dimension2D / 3D / 2.5D
LanguageGDScript / C# / both
Authoritysingle-player / networked (and if networked, who is authoritative)
Settling this……unblocks
Scopeprunes branches: a throwaway slice skips persistence, data home, networking, and testing
Authoritystate ownership (source of truth); signals vs. RPCs
Dimensionphysics model; camera model
Languageinterop boundary, when the answer is "both"
Scope + Dimensionentity model: composition vs. inheritance
Entity modeldata home (Resource .tres / autoload / node-local @export); communication (signals up, calls down / EventBus / DI)
Authority + Entity modelstate representation (enum FSM / node FSM / AnimationTree / none); persistence boundary
Data home + Persistencesave format (ConfigFile / JSON / Resource serialization)

The right-hand column names what an answer lets you decide; ask the user the constraint behind it, never the technology. The tree is a seed, not a script. Answers grow it — "networked" creates branches a single-player answer never does. Skip any root the request or the project already answers (project.godot, existing scripts). Most sessions visit few nodes.

3. Rounds

Before round 1, read where the project keeps decision records, checking in order: the user's instructions or the project's agent instructions file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, …); then an existing decisions or ADR directory. A recorded decision is a settled prerequisite: never re-ask it; start the frontier past it.

The frontier is every open decision whose prerequisites are settled. Ask the whole frontier in one message, numbered, each with a recommended answer:

text
❓ **Q1** — **<title>**: <the question, with its options>

➡️ <recommended answer, and why in one clause>

Then stop and wait. A question whose prerequisite is still open belongs to a later round.

Round 1 is small and settles scope first — scope prunes the most tree. A "throwaway slice" answer commonly ends the session at round 2.

After each round, re-derive the frontier from the answers. If an answer contradicts a recorded decision, say so and ask whether to reopen it — never overwrite a record silently.

4. Ending the grill

The grill ends when the frontier is empty, or on the off-ramp: "just build it" / "skip the questions" / "stop grilling", in any round, including the first message. Then stop asking, and list every assumption you are now making for the open decisions, where the user can scan and overrule them.

On the off-ramp there are no confirmation or approval gates: list the assumptions, write the record, and build — with the matching domain skill, or godot-brainstorming from Step 2 without its per-section check-ins.

When the frontier empties, write the record (§5), confirm shared understanding in one message, and wait. Then hand off:

  • it needs a scene tree, signal map, or plan → godot-brainstorming, from Step 2
  • it is a single known change → the matching domain skill

5. The decision record

GodotPrompter has no decisions folder of its own. Write the record where this project keeps them, checking in order: the user's instructions or the project's agent instructions file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, …); then an existing decisions or ADR directory. If none applies, ask the user, suggesting docs/decisions/, or use docs/decisions/ when you cannot ask (a subagent or non-interactive run). Name the file YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md. The path must stay stable: the next grill reads it back.

markdown
# <Topic> — decisions

| Decision | Choice | Why | Revisit when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bag model | Fixed 20 slots | Grid UI already designed | a weight system is wanted |
| Item data | Resource `.tres` | Inspector editing, typed exports | items exceed ~200 |

## Open / deferred
- Equipment stat aggregation — deferred to a later pass.
- Save slots — **assumed** 1 (off-ramp); revisit before shipping.

Revisit when keeps a decision reopenable, not binding. Off-ramp assumptions go under Open / deferred, marked assumed. If you cannot write files, put the record in your final message instead.

6. Anti-patterns

Anti-patternWhy it is wrongInstead
One question at a timeOrder fixed in advance; questions arrive before their prerequisites; more turnsAsk the whole frontier
Asking a factSpends the user's attention on the model's jobLook it up, decide, record
A question with no recommendationThe user answers in a vacuum; rounds slow downEvery question gets ➡️
Grilling a bug fix or an explicit askThe over-correction this skill must not becomeRoute to the domain skill
Re-asking a recorded decisionFeels like amnesia; wastes the recordRead where the project keeps decision records first
Coding after the last answerSkips the shared-understanding checkConfirm, then hand off

Checklist

  • Read existing decision records before round 1
  • Round 1 settled scope first
  • Every question is a decision — numbered, with a recommended answer
  • Whole frontier per round; waited after each
  • Off-ramp taken → assumptions listed
  • Record written (or in the final message when files cannot be written)
  • Frontier emptied → user confirmed before design or code; off-ramp → no gates, built on the listed assumptions
