What it does

Gm Scaffold is an agent skill from RandallLiuXin/GodotMaker. Scaffold a new Godot project: project.godot + addons + base directories + e2e/conftest.py + initial git commit. Lifetime-once role — runs only on fresh projects. Explicit invocation only — use /gm-scaffold.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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, Project scaffolding and End-to-end testing. It works with Godot. The repository describes itself as: Autonomous text-to-game pipeline for Godot, powered by Claude Code,Codex,Opencode.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Game development
  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding
  • Tasks that involve End-to-end testing

Example prompts

  • “/gm-scaffold”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather minimal inputs
  2. Initial commit
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1d4702c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Gm Scaffold loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 713 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 713 words (~1,890 tokens).
