defold-project-setup

name	defold-project-setup
description	Downloads Defold project dependencies into .deps/ folder. Also provides recommended game.project settings. Use FIRST before any other task when .deps/ folder is missing or empty, or after editing dependency URLs in game.project. Also use when creating a new project, configuring game.project, or asking about recommended project settings.

Setup Defold Project

Downloads and extracts Defold library dependencies and engine builtins into the .deps/ directory, which is used as read-only context for resolving module references. Also provides recommended game.project settings for new projects.

When to Run

• Before any task if the .deps/ folder does not exist or is empty.
• After editing dependencies in game.project (any [project] dependencies#N entry was added, removed, or changed).

How to Run

Execute the setup script from the project root:

Windows (PowerShell):

python .agents/skills/defold-project-setup/scripts/fetch_deps.py

Linux/macOS:

python3 .agents/skills/defold-project-setup/scripts/fetch_deps.py

Use --dry-run to print what would be done without downloading or extracting anything.

What It Does

1. Reads game.project and parses all [project] dependencies#N URLs.
2. Downloads each dependency zip to a temporary directory.
3. Inspects each zip's game.project for [library] include_dirs.
4. Extracts only the declared include directories into .deps/.
