godot-animation-player — Claude Code skill: setup & features

Q: How do I install godot-animation-player in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-animation-player -a claude-code`. This registers the skill and makes its reference scripts available to the agent.

Q: Why should I avoid animation_finished on looping clips?

The `animation_finished` signal does not fire when a clip loops. You should connect to `animation_looped` instead or check `current_animation`.

Guides AnimationPlayer patterns in Godot, covering track types, RESET track setups, root motion physics synchronization, and method call modes.

What godot-animation-player does

This skill directs the agent on reliable AnimationPlayer patterns for Godot projects. It outlines rules for Value, Method, and Audio tracks to prevent subtle engine bugs. For one-shot gameplay triggers like hitboxes, it enforces CALL_MODE_DISCRETE. Leaving call mode on continuous triggers the method every single frame across the key.

The skill references task-specific GDScript templates for common game mechanics. For example, root_motion_physics_sync.gd aligns bone root motion with physics ticks on CharacterBody3D, while active_animation_culler.gd sets active = false for off-screen nodes to cut CPU usage. Mutating an AnimationLibrary while a clip plays causes transform glitches or engine crashes. You must stop playback first.

What it helps with

sync root motion bone displacement with CharacterBody3D physics
set up RESET tracks to prevent property leaks across scenes
switch method tracks to CALL_MODE_DISCRETE for one-shot hits
cull off-screen AnimationPlayer nodes to reduce CPU load

Example prompts for the agent

Set up root motion sync between AnimationPlayer and CharacterBody3D in Godot
Create a method track for attack hitboxes using CALL_MODE_DISCRETE
Generate an Animation resource programmatically using programmatic_anim.gd

Questions about godot-animation-player

How do I install godot-animation-player in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-animation-player -a claude-code. This registers the skill and makes its reference scripts available to the agent.

Why does this skill mandate RESET tracks?

Without a RESET track, animated properties remain stuck in their modified state across scene changes. The skill enforces saving initial default values to maintain state hygiene.

Why should I avoid animation_finished on looping clips?

The animation_finished signal does not fire when a clip loops. You should connect to animation_looped instead or check current_animation.
