# roblox-building

A skill for building geometry, maps and props in Roblox Studio through MCP or plain Luau. It keeps you from guessing coordinates and pushes each build to a verifiable result.

## What it does

The skill loads when you build or edit geometry, maps, props or generated assets, whether through MCP or standalone Luau. It also covers map gaps, z-fighting, scale, collisions and players escaping the map.

What's inside is a working order. First an inspection pass over Studio, Workspace and assets: root name, origin, dimensions. Then phased building with readback and checks on the tree, the view and traversal. Dimensions get named out loud, sub-parts are offset from anchor CFrames instead of guessed world coordinates, and snapping goes to 0.125, 0.25 or 0.5 studs. For complex CSG it advises building near the origin and moving the result with `PivotTo` afterwards.

Assets are searched in the project and Toolbox first, checking type, creator, price, scripts and fit. For paid or cross-owner insertions the skill wants the creator, ID, price and rights disclosed up front, and unneeded code stripped out. It also flags asset privacy: new accounts and groups create Images, Decals and Meshes as Restricted, so a blank texture or invisible mesh is usually a missing grant rather than a broken file. Read the Output error and grant the experience in Creator Dashboard. `EditableImage` and `EditableMesh` need permission and memory headroom.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-building -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/roblox-building/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/roblox-building/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-building -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/roblox-building/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-building -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/roblox-building/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TabooHarmony/roblox-brain roblox-building
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/roblox-building/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-building -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --path skills/gameplay/roblox-building
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/roblox-building/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-building -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain/tree/HEAD/skills/gameplay/roblox-building/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a map from zones and landmarks without guessing coordinates
- close gaps in geometry and kill z-fighting
- fix scale against player height and path traversal
- insert a Toolbox asset and strip its unneeded scripts
- work out why a texture is blank or a mesh invisible

## Example prompts
- Build an arena: root at origin, zones and spawn points, name every dimension
- Check the map for gaps and z-fighting, show the tree and the readback
- Insert this Toolbox prop, disclose creator, ID, price and rights first

# Roblox Building

## When to Load

Load for geometry, props, maps, and spatial onboarding via MCP or Luau.

## Quick Reference

### MCP Build Mode
1-2. Inspect Studio/Workspace/assets; name root, origin, dimensions, assets.
3-4. Build in phases with readback; verify tree, view, traversal.

### Asset Choice
- Search project assets and Toolbox first; check type, creator, price, scripts, fit.
- Paid/cross-owner insertion: disclose creator, ID, price, rights first. Inspect scripts/dependencies; remove unneeded code. See `roblox-security`.
- MCP: `generate_procedural_model`, `generate_mesh`, `generate_material`.
- Check mesh bounds, collision, PBR, and quality levels.
- Use permitted images; wait for jobs to finish.
- `EditableImage`/`EditableMesh`: permission + memory limits.
- Native Parts/CSG when reuse/generation is unsuitable.
- **Asset privacy:** new accounts/groups create Images/Decals/Meshes Restricted — blank texture/invisible mesh usually means a missing grant, not corruption. Read the Output error; grant the experience in Creator Dashboard. See `roblox-studio-mcp`.

### Player Scale
Player ~5 studs | Door 4w×7h | Ceiling 10-14 | Counter 3.5-4 | Seat 1.5 | Path 6+

### Spatial Rules
```
