What it does
Godot Version Migration is an agent skill from thedivergentai/GD-Agentic-Skills. Full-history Godot version migration hub. Use when upgrading any Godot project toward the library target (currently 4.7)—from 1.x/2.x legacy eras through 3→4 and hop-by-hop 4.x minors—or finding Domain Skill-scoped migration notes. Trigger keywords: upgrade Godot, migrate Godot version, Godot 3 to 4, Godot 2 to 3, upgradingtogodot, version migration, breaking changes, convert-3to4, TileMapLayer, AnimationMixer, engine.cfg, project.godot.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 102 other files, including reference files (for example `references/2d-animation.md`, `references/2d-physics.md` and `references/3d-lighting.md`).
It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. 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.
When your agent uses it
- Keywords: upgrade Godot
- Migrate Godot version
- Upgradingtogodot
- Version migration
Example prompts
- “/godot-version-migration”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read project.godot (config_version, config/features) or legacy engine.cfg.
- Ask the user if files are ambiguous.
- Map to an era in references/era-index.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c4d0ff. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.godotengine.orggodotengine.github.iogodotengine.orggithub.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
Godot Version Migration loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~88k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 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.
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.

Godot Version Migration
Orchestrator for engine version upgrades from early Godot through the library target. Domain Skills document current APIs; this hub owns the upgrade path.
Library target: Godot 4.7+
Corpus: docs changelog · interactive changelog · download archive · GitHub releases · migrating index
NEVER Do
- NEVER skip majors — route 1.x → 2.x → latest 3.x → 4.0 before any 4.x minor ladder.
- NEVER skip 4.x hops — upgrade
4.0 → 4.1 → … → 4.7one minor at a time; stabilize after each hop. - NEVER claim automatic 1.x→4.x conversion or bit-exact autopilot.
- NEVER treat Domain Skill bodies as migration changelogs — load
references/<topic>.md(mirrored from each skill’sreferences/migration-notes.md). - NEVER load all module notes at once — only subsystems present in the project.
- NEVER mix server/client Godot minors for high-level multiplayer (especially across 4.2→4.3 SceneMultiplayer protocol changes).
- NEVER choose Mesh “Restart & Upgrade” without VCS backup (4.1→4.2 mesh format).
- NEVER run the 3→4 converter without a full backup (tool does not backup).
Version detect
- Read
project.godot(config_version,config/features) or legacyengine.cfg. - Ask the user if files are ambiguous.
- Map to an era in references/era-index.md.
Workflow router (MANDATORY)
| Detected era | Load | Do NOT |
|---|---|---|
| 1.x / early 2 | legacy/pre-2-context.md | Invent a 1→4 converter |
| 2.x | legacy/2-to-3.md then stabilize on latest 3.x | Jump straight to 4.7 notes |
| 3.x | bridges/3-to-4.md + official 3→4 guide | Skip latest-3.x stabilize gate |
4.x < 4.7 | Official hop guide + hop-index.md module notes for touched systems | Skip minors |
| Already 4.7+ | godot-master / Domain Skills | Treat this hub as a coding tutorial |
Steps (4.x minors)
- While
current < 4.7, perform exactly one hop tocurrent + 0.1. - Open the official upgrading page for the destination version.
- From hop-index.md, open only module notes for subsystems present in the project.
- Apply fixes; open in the new editor; playtest; repeat.
