  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

Defold Assets Search is an agent skill from selimanac/defold-astar. Searches the Defold Asset Store for community libraries and extensions. Use BEFORE writing custom modules for pathfinding, RNG, UI, save/load, localization, tweening, input handling, etc. Helps find, compare, and install Defold dependencies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/generate_index.py`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Internationalization. The repository describes itself as: Pathfinder and A solver (astar or a-star) native extension for Defold Engine build on MicroPather.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Internationalization

Example prompts

  • “Use the defold-assets-search skill to search the Defold Asset Store for community libraries and extensions”
  • “/defold-assets-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Generate and search the index
  2. Research candidates in depth
  3. Present candidates to the user
  4. Install the dependency

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1471c54. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Defold Assets Search loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 617 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 617 words (~1,259 tokens).

“Search the Defold community Asset Store to find existing libraries instead of writing custom code.”
