godot-resource-data-patternsExpert blueprint for data-oriented design using Resource/RefCounted classes (item databases, character stats, reusable data structures).
Godot Resource Data Patterns is an agent skill from thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills. Expert blueprint for data-oriented design using Resource/RefCounted classes (item databases, character stats, reusable data structures). Covers typed arrays, serialization, nested resources, and resource caching. Use when implementing data systems OR inventory/stats/dialogue databases. Keywords Resource, RefCounted, ItemData, CharacterStats, database, serialization, @export, typed arrays.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/migration-notes.md` and `references/resource-patterns-deep.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Game development and Caching. It works with Godot. The repository describes itself as: The official "Long-Term Memory" for Godot 4.7+ AI Agents. A high-density library of 99 expert skills and 27 genre blueprints, providing audited, strictly typed GDScript patterns… The licence is LGPL-3.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c4d0ff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 13 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.godotengine.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Godot Resource Data Patterns loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 804 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

Expert blueprint for data-oriented design using Resource/RefCounted classes (item databases, character stats, reusable data structures). Godot Resource Data Patterns is an agent skill from thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills. Expert blueprint for data-oriented design using Resource/RefCounted classes (item databases, character stats, reusable data structures).
Godot Resource Data Patterns fits situations like: implementing data systems OR inventory/stats/dialogue databases; tasks that involve Game development; tasks that involve Caching.
Run `npx skills add thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-resource-data-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/godot-resource-data-patterns in thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills) into .claude/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-resource-data-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/godot-resource-data-patterns in thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills) into .agents/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-resource-data-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns, .gemini/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns, .github/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns and .opencode/skills/godot-resource-data-patterns in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Godot Resource Data Patterns is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: docs.godotengine.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Godot Resource Data Patterns is published under the LGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
