godot-genre-rts — Claude Code skill for Godot RTS games

What godot-genre-rts does

The skill walks an agent through building an RTS in Godot. It ships GDScript components: a marquee selection manager for 2D and a raycast one for 3D, a unit controller with states and a NavigationAgent, a pooled path query helper, an army manager running batches on WorkerThreadPool, fog of war as a SubViewport mask shader, an economy Autoload, and a MultiMeshInstance3D renderer for large armies.

Most of the file is a list of anti-patterns. It tells you not to update RVO avoidance every frame for every unit — enable it only while units move, and stagger path queries. Fog visibility should come from a shader mask, not per-unit checks. Hundreds of units belong in a MultiMeshInstance driven by INSTANCE_CUSTOM, not in separate MeshInstance3D nodes.

A decision table splits the two regimes: up to roughly 80 active units, plain NavigationAgent with RVO and regular nodes are fine; beyond that the skill points at pooled path queries and server-side simulation. It also chains to sibling skills for input, camera, navigation, shaders, TileMap and economy. Worth installing if you already have an RTS in Godot and hit a wall on performance or command logic.
