Godot API Lookup

This skill is a narrow reference tool. Keep answers targeted to the caller's question.

Do not list or enumerate ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/ or ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/doc_source/. Those directories contain nearly a thousand files and listing them wastes context. Navigate through _common.md, _other.md, and the specific class file you actually need.

How to answer

1. If you already know the class or likely class, search ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/_common.md and _other.md for the class name instead of reading the whole index files.
2. If the caller does not name a class, use ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/_common.md and _other.md to identify likely candidates, then read only the relevant docs.
3. Read only the relevant ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/{ClassName}.md file or files.
4. Return only what the caller needs:
   • Specific question (for example, "how to detect collisions") -> return the relevant methods, signals, or patterns with short descriptions
   • Full API request (for example, "full API for CharacterBody3D") -> return the whole class doc summary

C# syntax reference: ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/csharp.md — C# Godot syntax, patterns, and recipes. Read it when the caller asks about C# Godot syntax, idioms, or common patterns such as input handling, tweens, state machines, or signals.

Bootstrap if doc_api is empty:

bash ${GODOT_API_SKILL_DIR}/tools/ensure_doc_api.sh
