Q: What does godot-characterbody-2d do?

It gives the agent movement patterns for `CharacterBody2D` in Godot 4: platformer and top-down locomotion, walls, dashes, one-way platforms and a state machine.

A Godot 4 skill with ready-made CharacterBody2D controllers: platformer feel, top-down controls, wall jumps, dashes and one-way platforms.

What godot-characterbody-2d does

The skill hands the agent a set of rules plus GDScript files for locomotion on CharacterBody2D. You get a platformer controller built around coyote time, a jump buffer and acceleration with friction, along with separate scripts for variable jump height, wall cling and wall jump, dash with invincibility frames, air drift and a ceiling bonk reset. For top-down games the recipes for 8-way and tank controls sit in references/movement-recipes.md.

Most of the guidance is written as things not to do. Do not scale velocity by delta before calling move_and_slide(), do not steer a body by assigning global_position, and do not keep applying gravity while is_on_floor() is true. Drop-through platforms get their own recipe: mark the platform collider as one-way and toggle collision layers or masks for a physics tick, rather than shifting the player downward.

Start from scripts/expert_physics_2d.gd. Wall, dash, stair, enemy-pooling and pixel-art rounding scripts are added on top once that controller exists, and its acceleration loops don't belong in the scene file afterwards. The code targets Godot 4, since it relies on move_and_slide(), is_on_floor() and get_slide_collision.

What it helps with

build platformer controls with coyote time and a jump buffer
make jump height depend on how long the button is held
let the player drop through one-way platforms without teleporting
add wall sliding and a wall jump
keep movement speed independent of frame rate

Example prompts for the agent

Build the CharacterBody2D controller with coyote time and a jump buffer, starting from scripts/expert_physics_2d.gd
Wire the dash with invincibility frames from dash_state_controller.gd into my existing controller
Set up one-way platforms with collision layers so the hero can drop down with down plus jump
