godot-ui-rich-text — Claude Code skill for Godot BBCode

What godot-ui-rich-text does

The skill hands your agent ready-made patterns for Godot's RichTextLabel: BBCode tags, meta links wired to meta_clicked, RichTextEffect shaders and dynamic text. Ten GDScript files ship with it, covering a rainbow color cycle, a horror glitch, and a typewriter controller that reads [pause] and [speed] tags.

A good chunk of the text is about what breaks. Parsing a long string with hundreds of tags every frame tanks performance, so formatted strings get cached. Typewriter animation runs on visible_characters rather than rewriting the string each frame — otherwise parsing overhead and flicker show up. Custom effects also need registering in custom_effects or via install_effect(); the script alone does nothing.

For player-typed text in chats and lobbies there's a sanitizer. Skip it and someone types an [img] tag with a huge image path and your layout is gone. Heavy logic stays out of meta_clicked because that signal fires on the main thread — emit a command and process it elsewhere. Image sizes in [img] go through width_unit and height_unit instead of pixels, since fixed pixel widths fall apart at higher resolutions.
