## What it does

The skill acts as an entry coordinator for Roblox development. It examines requests and steers the agent toward focused sub-skills covering networking, DataStores, UI, physics, or Rojo project syncing. This layout prevents context bloat. The agent pulls reference files only for the active system.

It enforces key engine conventions: strict server authority, `pcall` guards for cloud calls, and modern alternatives to deprecated functions like `spawn()` or legacy body movers. Without `pcall` wrappers around `DataStoreService` or HTTP requests, transient network failures will crash running scripts. The guidelines also instruct agents to configure `Enum.SignalBehavior.Deferred` and adopt the `task.*` scheduler.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nonlooped/roblox-suite --skill roblox -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nonlooped/roblox-suite --skill roblox -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install nonlooped/roblox-suite roblox
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/nonlooped/roblox-suite --path roblox
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nonlooped/roblox-suite --skill roblox -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/nonlooped/roblox-suite/tree/HEAD/roblox/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- choose system architecture and script placement in Studio
- validate client network requests on the server
- handle persistent player state through DataStore safely
- migrate legacy scripts to the modern task scheduler

## Example prompts
- Set up a secure client-server remote structure for player inventory
- Show how to handle player data saving with pcall error handling
- Structure my game modules across ServerScriptService and ReplicatedStorage

**Engine API Reference (always the source of truth for classes/properties):** https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine

Full documentation indexes for agents:
- https://create.roblox.com/docs/llms.txt (start here, then route to Engine vs Open Cloud sub-indexes)
- Engine-specific: https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/llms.txt

This hub skill gives the big picture and routes to specialist `SKILL.md` entry points. Each specialist owns its deep `references/` index so agents load only the material needed.

## Specialist skills

Choose the skill matching the task. Each specialist links to its own detailed references.

<!-- catalog:specialists:start -->
- [roblox-core](../roblox-core/SKILL.md): Choose services, types, serialization, and script locations
- [roblox-networking](../roblox-networking/SKILL.md): Design remotes, validate client requests, and control replication
- [roblox-datastores](../roblox-datastores/SKILL.md): Save player data, handle concurrent writes, and recover versions
- [roblox-user-interfaces](../roblox-user-interfaces/SKILL.md): Build responsive GUIs, handle input, and add UI effects
- [roblox-animation](../roblox-animation/SKILL.md): Animate rigs, configure IK, tween properties, and time marker events
- [roblox-vfx](../roblox-vfx/SKILL.md): Build particles, flipbooks, beams, trails, and highlights
- [roblox-audio](../roblox-audio/SKILL.md): Build audio graphs, mix effects, and migrate legacy Sound code
- [roblox-gamepasses](../roblox-gamepasses/SKILL.md): Handle passes, products, subscriptions, transfers, and purchase policy
- [roblox-open-cloud](../roblox-open-cloud/SKILL.md): Automate Roblox resources through REST APIs or supported HttpService calls
- [roblox-teleport](../roblox-teleport/SKILL.md): Move players between places, coordinate matchmaking, and hand off data
- [roblox-rojo](../roblox-rojo/SKILL.md): Set up filesystem projects, sync with Studio, build, and export places
- [roblox-mcp](../roblox-mcp/SKILL.md): Connect agents to Studio, inspect instances, edit scripts, and playtest
- [roblox-physics](../roblox-physics/SKILL.md): Build mechanisms, choose constraints, and assign physics ownership
- [roblox-npcs](../roblox-npcs/SKILL.md): Navigate NPCs, handle blocked paths, and build patrol or chase behavior
- [roblox-testing](../roblox-testing/SKILL.md): Reproduce bugs, write tests, and profile performance
<!-- catalog:specialists:end -->

## Shared constraints

1. **Server authority first.** Validate or simulate on the server. Client is for input, prediction, and cosmetics.
2. **Everything that talks to the cloud is fallible.** Wrap DataStore, Marketplace, Http, etc. calls in pcall. Have a plan for transient vs permanent errors.
3. **Preload assets.** ContentProvider:PreloadAsync for animations, images, sounds, models.
4. **Use modern APIs.** Animator + LoadAnimation, task.* scheduler, TweenService, IKControl, CollectionService tags, Attributes, etc. Avoid deprecated BodyMovers, wait/spawn/delay, Humanoid:LoadAnimation, etc.
