Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned thedivergentai/gd-agentic-skills at 4c4d0ff5c4.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides expert guidance for setting up and managing cameras in Godot game development, covering both 2D and 3D projects. It focuses on creating smooth, responsive camera systems that avoid common pitfalls leading to jittery movement or unprofessional visuals. The skill offers advice on positioning, smoothing, viewport management, and specialized effects like screen shake, all designed to enhance the player experience.

When to use it

  • When you're starting a new Godot project and need help setting up your initial camera system.
  • If your existing camera movement feels jerky or unnatural.
  • When implementing special camera effects like screen shake or mini-maps.
  • To ensure best practices for camera behavior in both 2D and 3D environments.

Key capabilities

  • Guidance on avoiding jittery camera movements using lerp() or position smoothing.
  • Best practices for permanent camera positioning versus temporary effects like camera shake.
  • Recommendations for smooth transitions when cameras reach limits (especially important in 2D).
  • Advice on managing multiple cameras within a viewport.
  • Tips for preventing clipping issues with SpringArm3D nodes.
  • Techniques for implementing realistic screen shake effects without disrupting follow logic.
  • Strategies for stable camera views when parenting to physics bodies.

Example prompts

  • "How do I create smooth camera movement in Godot?"
  • "What's the best way to implement screen shake in my 3D Godot game?"
  • "I'm having trouble with my 2D camera jittering; what should I check?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Read the "MANDATORY" scripts before implementing any camera behaviors. The skill emphasizes following specific guidelines to avoid common errors.
  • Be mindful of viewport performance, especially when creating mini-maps – explicitly set render_target_update_mode for efficiency.
  • Avoid direct linear interpolation for zoom effects; use exponential lerp or a Tween with TRANS_CUBIC instead.
