What problem does it solve?

Watching and iterating on game content (JSON configs, PNGs, TMX maps, etc.) during development often requires restarting the game, which stalls feedback. This Skill enables automatic content hot-reload to streamline the workflow and keep iteration fast.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-folder content model: source Content/ and output Content/ to map changes without full rebuilds.
  • Watchers with debouncing and selective reloading strategies: in-place updates for simple changes and screen restarts for structural edits.
  • API-driven workflows: integrate with Screen.WatchContentDirectory and WatchContent to keep content in sync during development.

Quick Start

Configure a screen to watch the Content folder and rely on the built-in hot-reload to automatically refresh assets during development.
