Godot API Lookup
$ARGUMENTS
Version detection
Docs are stored per Godot version under doc_api/{version}/ and doc_api_csharp/{version}/
when the local API cache has been prepared.
Determine the version to use:
- If the caller specifies a version (e.g. "4.4"), use that
- If
project.godot exists in the working directory, extract from config/features
- Otherwise fall back to
latest
Bootstrap if docs for the target version are missing. Resolve tools/ relative
to this skill directory:
bash tools/ensure_doc_api.sh [version]
How to answer
Language selection: doc_api/{version}/ contains GDScript docs. doc_api_csharp/{version}/ contains C# docs. Default to GDScript unless the caller asks about C#.
- Read
doc_api/{version}/_common.md — index of common classes
- For C#:
doc_api_csharp/{version}/_common.md
- If the class is not there, read
_other.md in the same directory
- Read
doc_api/{version}/{ClassName}.md for the full API
- For C#:
doc_api_csharp/{version}/{ClassName}.md
- Return what the caller needs:
- Specific question → relevant methods/signals with descriptions
- Full API request → the entire class doc
