msw-search — Claude Code skill for MSW API and asset search

Search MSW API references and guides, or look up sprites, animations, sounds, resource packs, and avatars. Use it when .d.mlua lacks the detail you need or you need an RUID.

What msw-search does

This skill routes requests to two search paths: vector lookup through the msw-mcp MCP server for API material, and a REST API for game assets. API results can include explanations, code samples, and related methods. Asset lookup covers sprites, animations, sounds, resource packs, and avatars, including searches for RUIDs.

When you know an API name, check .d.mlua first for signatures, types, and properties. For more context, the skill uses mlua_api_retriever; for implementation guidance and patterns, it uses mlua_document_retriever. Asset searches begin with resource_pack by default, then narrow down to individual RUIDs inside the pack. Search examples use Maker Editor syntax, so convert them before putting the code in a .mlua file.

The documentation search depends on msw-mcp tools. If a call fails, the skill falls back to .d.mlua rather than guessing, so detailed API material may not be available through that search path.

What it helps with

  • look up an API usage example
  • inspect method parameters beyond a signature
  • find a guide for implementing a feature
  • locate a resource pack for a monster or background
  • retrieve a sprite or sound RUID

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find an example for AttackComponent and its related APIs.
  • Search for a guide to building an inventory system.
  • Find a resource pack for a monster and list suitable sprite RUIDs.

Questions about msw-search

How do I install msw-search in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add MSW-Git/msw-ai-coding-plugins-official --skill msw-search -a claude-code. The skill file is at ~/.claude/skills/msw-search/SKILL.md.

What does msw-search do?

It searches MSW API material through msw-mcp and game assets through a REST API. For a known API name, it checks .d.mlua before seeking extra detail.

Why does asset lookup start with resource_pack?

A pack can bundle the sprites, animations, and sounds for one asset. The skill searches the pack first, then drills down to individual RUIDs; it switches to another resource type when the request explicitly names one.
