Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/godot-ui
Restart Cursor to activate godot-ui. Access via /godot-ui in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Advanced Controls
Popup: Modal/modeless popup window
PopupMenu: Context menu

SubViewport: Embedded viewport for 3D-in-2D UI
Anchor & Container System
Anchor Presets:
# Common anchor configurations# Top-left (default): anchor_left=0, anchor_top=0, anchor_right=0, anchor_bottom=0# Full rect: anchor_left=0, anchor_top=0, anchor_right=1, anchor_bottom=1# Top wide: anchor_left=0, anchor_top=0, anchor_right=1, anchor_bottom=0# Center: anchor_left=0.5, anchor_top=0.5, anchor_right=0.5, anchor_bottom=0.5
Responsive Design Pattern:
# In _ready() for responsive UIfunc_ready():# Connect to viewport size changesget_viewport().size_changed.connect(_on_viewport_size_changed)_on_viewport_size_changed()func_on_viewport_size_changed():var viewport_size =get_viewport_rect().size
# Adjust UI based on aspect ratio or screen sizeif viewport_size.x / viewport_size.y <1.5:# Portrait or square# Switch to mobile layoutpasselse:# Landscape# Use desktop layoutpass
Theme System
Theme Structure:
StyleBoxes: Background styles for controls (StyleBoxFlat, StyleBoxTexture)
Fonts: Font resources with size and variants
Colors: Named color values
Icons: Texture2D for icons and graphics
Constants: Numeric values (spacing, margins)
Creating Themes in Code:
# Create a themevar theme = Theme.new()# StyleBox for buttonsvar style_normal = StyleBoxFlat.new()style_normal.bg_color =Color(0.2,0.2,0.2)style_normal.corner_radius_top_left =5style_normal.corner_radius_top_right =5style_normal.corner_radius_bottom_left =5style_normal.corner_radius_bottom_right =5style_normal.content_margin_left =10style_normal.content_margin_right =10style_normal.content_margin_top =5style_normal.content_margin_bottom =5var style_hover = StyleBoxFlat.new()style_hover.bg_color =Color(0.3,0.3,0.3)# ... same corner radius and marginsvar style_pressed = StyleBoxFlat.new()style_pressed.bg_color =Color(0.15,0.15,0.15)# ... same corner radius and marginstheme.set_stylebox("normal","Button", style_normal)theme.set_stylebox("hover","Button", style_hover)theme.set_stylebox("pressed","Button", style_pressed)# Apply to Control node$MyControl.theme = theme
Theme Resources:
Best practice: Create .tres theme files and save them in resources/themes/
@onreadyvar start_button =$VBoxContainer/StartButton
func_ready():# Connect button signals start_button.pressed.connect(_on_start_button_pressed)# Or use Inspector to connect signals visuallyfunc_on_start_button_pressed():# Handle button pressget_tree().change_scene_to_file("res://scenes/main_game.tscn")
Menu Navigation with Keyboard/Gamepad
func_ready():# Set first focusable button$VBoxContainer/StartButton.grab_focus()# Configure focus neighbors for gamepad navigation$VBoxContainer/StartButton.focus_neighbor_bottom =$VBoxContainer/SettingsButton.get_path()$VBoxContainer/SettingsButton
Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Steps
1Install skill using provided installation command
2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
3Evaluate output quality and relevance
4Iterate on prompts to improve results
5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices
✓ Do
+Start with clear, specific prompts
+Provide relevant context and constraints
+Review and refine all outputs before using
+Iterate to improve output quality
+Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
−Don't use without understanding skill limitations
−Don't skip validation of outputs
−Don't share sensitive information in prompts
−Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
★Be specific about desired format and style
★Ask for multiple options to choose from
★Request explanations to understand reasoning
★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path
1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
