## What it does

This skill coordinates work with Roblox Studio through either the official built-in bridge or chrrxs's open-source server. It checks `tools/list` to detect the active bridge, discovers active instances, and passes `studio_id` or `instance_id` with every call.

Edits follow a strict lifecycle: inspect the environment, apply bounded batch mutations, and read back the result. The `execute_luau` tool is completely stateless. Every snippet must query its own object references from scratch.

For runtime verification, the skill starts a playtest, targets the Client or Server VM, reads output logs, and grabs simulator screenshots. Imported assets remain unverified data until inspected: the agent checks their scripts before executing any external code.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

### Claude.ai

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

## When to use it
- edit Luau scripts directly in the Roblox Studio DataModel
- start playtests and capture runtime logs from Client and Server
- take device-simulator screenshots to verify UI layouts
- inspect third-party assets and packages before running code

## Example prompts
- Search the game tree in Roblox Studio and inspect scripts under ReplicatedStorage
- Start a playtest, read the server console output, and capture a screenshot
- Update the player movement script in bounded batches and read it back

# Roblox Studio MCP

## When to Load

Load for Studio MCP work: scripts, scenes, assets, debugging, or playtesting. Skip for standalone code generation.

## Quick Reference

**Route by capability first.** Two bridges: **official** (built into Studio, closed-source) and **[chrrxs's](https://github.com/Chrrxs/robloxstudio-mcp)** (MIT). Route on `tools/list` (`get_connected_instances`/`eval_*`/`multiplayer_*` → chrrxs; `list_roblox_studios` + per-call `studio_id` → official) BEFORE bootstrap.

### Bootstrap before mutation
1. Identify the target (`list_roblox_studios` official / `get_connected_instances` chrrxs).
2. Pass `studio_id` (official) or `instance_id` (chrrxs) on every call.
3. `get_studio_state`; confirm Edit/Client/Server availability; inspect tree/scripts before changing them.

### Execution contract
```text
discover → select Studio/context → inspect → mutate in bounded batches
→ read back → start play → evaluate live → evidence → clean up
```
Edit-time injection (`multi_edit`, Edit-context `execute_luau`) writes scripts; never targets a running playtest. Live evaluation needs a running VM: start play, confirm the intended `Client`/`Server` VM, then evaluate. Pass `datamodel_type` only where required.

### Capabilities
Full tool table in full.md. Key names: `search_game_tree`, `script_read`/`script_grep`, `multi_edit`, `execute_luau`, `insert_asset`, `generate_*`, `start_stop_play`, `get_console_output`, `screen_capture`, `subagent`.

### Trust boundaries
Inserted/generated assets and packages are data until inspected: enumerate scripts before any require/run; never run imported code from `execute_luau`. Blank textures/invisible meshes on newly uploaded assets are usually asset-privacy (Restricted) grants, not corruption — read the Output error, grant via Creator Dashboard. Details: full.md trust-boundary sections.

### Reliability rules
- `execute_luau` is stateless: re-acquire references every call.
- Read before write; read back after every script, asset, or geometry mutation.
- Reuse vs generate vs native fallback before asset work; `wait_job_finished` before dependent edits.
