godot-ui — Claude Code skill: Godot UI and themes
Gives the agent working knowledge of Godot Control nodes, themes and common screens. Useful when building menus, HUDs or inventories.
npx skills add Zate/cc-godot --skill godot-ui -a claude-codeWhat godot-ui does
The skill loads a reference on Godot's UI system into the agent: the Control node hierarchy, anchors and offsets, layout containers, and interactive widgets such as Button, OptionButton, HSlider and Tree. A separate section covers theming — StyleBoxFlat for button states, fonts, colors, icons, spacing constants. You can build a theme in code or keep it as a .tres file.
It also ships layout blueprints for real screens: main menu, tabbed settings, a HUD with a health bar and score, an inventory. Each one is a node tree starting at CanvasLayer, so the agent doesn't have to guess where a MarginContainer belongs.
Responsive behavior is spelled out: connect to the viewport's size_changed and swap layouts based on aspect ratio. The skill is allowed Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep plus mcp__godot__* tools, so the MCP part only works if you have a Godot MCP server running — otherwise those calls go nowhere. Worth installing once your Godot scenes start turning into UI spaghetti.
What it helps with
- lay out a menu with containers instead of hand-tuned offsets
- build a button theme with normal, hover and pressed StyleBoxFlat states
- put together a HUD with a health bar and score counter
- switch layouts when the viewport size changes
- pick the right Control node for a given widget
Example prompts for the agent
- build a main menu on a CanvasLayer with a VBoxContainer and New Game, Settings, Quit buttons
- create a button theme with normal, hover and pressed StyleBoxFlat states
- rewrite the HUD so the layout adapts when the viewport gets narrow
