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:

1. If the caller specifies a version (e.g. "4.4"), use that
2. If project.godot exists in the working directory, extract from config/features
3. 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#.

1. Read doc_api/{version}/_common.md — index of common classes
   • For C#: doc_api_csharp/{version}/_common.md
2. If the class is not there, read _other.md in the same directory
3. Read doc_api/{version}/{ClassName}.md for the full API
   • For C#: doc_api_csharp/{version}/{ClassName}.md
4. Return what the caller needs:
   • Specific question → relevant methods/signals with descriptions
   • Full API request → the entire class doc
