godot-camera-systems — Claude Code skill: steady Godot cameras

Q: How do I install godot-camera-systems in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-camera-systems -a claude-code`. The skill lands at `~/.claude/skills/godot-camera-systems/SKILL.md`.

Q: Why not just assign the player position to the camera?

Copying `global_position` every frame produces jerky motion. The skill calls for `lerp()` or `position_smoothing_enabled = true`, plus a rig decoupled from the physics body.

Ready-made recipes and GDScript files for Godot cameras in 2D and 3D: smooth follow, screen shake, deadzones, transitions. Useful when your player camera jitters.

What godot-camera-systems does

This skill tells the agent how to move a camera behind a character without the picture stuttering. It ships GDScript sources: follow rigs decoupled through RemoteTransform2D and RemoteTransform3D, platformer deadzone and drag handling, damped zoom, and a state machine that switches between follow, static framing and cinematic shots.

Screen shake runs on a trauma value that builds up and decays, rather than a random offset picked every frame. A debug script draws the decay curve so you can tune it. For 3D the skill covers SpringArm3D and raycast occlusion, and it has SubViewport setups for minimaps and split-screen.

The rules section is blunt: never copy the target position into global_position each frame, and never parent the camera straight to a fast physics body. Read the matching script before writing your own rig, not after. A SpringArm3D without a collision mask passes through walls, so that is the first thing to check in an existing scene.

What it helps with

stop camera jitter while following a player
add impact screen shake that fades out
set up deadzone and drag for a platformer
switch the camera between follow and cinematic framing
keep the camera inside level bounds with smooth edges

Example prompts for the agent

Set up smooth player follow in Godot 2D using the skill's script, without copying the position every frame
Add screen shake with a trauma system so the kick decays after a hit
Configure SpringArm3D with a collision mask for a third-person camera

Questions about godot-camera-systems

How do I install godot-camera-systems in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add thedivergentai/Game-Dev-Agentic-Skills --skill godot-camera-systems -a claude-code. The skill lands at ~/.claude/skills/godot-camera-systems/SKILL.md.

What does godot-camera-systems do?

It hands the agent camera patterns and scripts for Godot: follow, deadzones, shake, 3D occlusion and mode transitions.

Why not just assign the player position to the camera?

Copying global_position every frame produces jerky motion. The skill calls for lerp() or position_smoothing_enabled = true, plus a rig decoupled from the physics body.
