name: godot-api description: | Look up Godot engine class APIs — methods, properties, signals, enums. Use when you need to find which class to use or look up specific API details. Supports version-specific docs — reads the correct API for the project's Godot version.

Godot API Lookup

$ARGUMENTS

Version detection

Docs are stored per Godot version under doc_api/{version}/ and doc_api_csharp/{version}/.

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:

bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/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 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/{version}/_common.md — index of ~128 common classes
   • For C#: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api_csharp/{version}/_common.md
2. If the class isn't there, read _other.md in the same directory
3. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/doc_api/{version}/{ClassName}.md for full API
   • For C#: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/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
