What it does

Monarch Screen Setup is an agent skill from selimanac/defold-astar. Organizes screens and popups in a Defold game using Monarch screen manager. Use when creating new screens, popups, or setting up navigation between them.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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. It works with Lua. 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

Creating new screens
Setting up navigation between them

Example prompts

“Use the monarch-screen-setup skill to organiz screens and popups in a Defold game using Monarch screen manager”
“/monarch-screen-setup”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

A component screen_proxy referencing /monarch/screen_proxy.script with properties
An embedded component collectionproxy of type collectionproxy pointing to /screens/gameplay/gameplay.collection.

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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are lua and protobuf).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
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

Monarch Screen Setup loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 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: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.1k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 713 words (~2,107 tokens).

“Before applying any guidance from this skill, you MUST confirm that the project actually uses Monarch. Check the game.project file in the project root for a dependency URL containing britzl/monarch (e.g. dependencies#N = https://github.com/britzl/monarch/archive/...). Alternatively, check for the presence of…”
