SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new Godot 4 project requires manually creating directory structures, writing a valid project.godot with input mappings, and wiring a main scene, which is error-prone and repetitive. ## Core Features & Use Cases - New Project Scaffolding: Creates the standard scripts/, scenes/, and assets/ directory layout plus a complete project.godot with display, rendering, and input settings. - Input Action Setup: Preconfigures standard input actions (move_left, move_right, move_up, move_down, shoot, jump, pause) mapped to WASD, mouse, Space, and Escape. - Existing Project Verification: Scans an existing project via MCP tools, reports project name, main scene, and file counts, then fixes gaps like missing directories or an unset main scene. - Use Case: When starting a new 2D game, ask the assistant to initialize the project and immediately get a runnable main scene with pixel-art texture filtering configured. ## Quick Start Initialize a new Godot 4 project in the current directory with the standard folder structure, input actions, and a runnable main scene.

Frequently Asked Questions about godot-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new Godot 4 project structure?▼

Create scripts/, scenes/, and assets/ directories, then write a project.godot with config_version=5, an application name, and a main scene path. Add a minimal main.tscn with an attached GDScript and run it to verify the setup.

How to configure input actions in project.godot for Godot 4?▼

Define actions in the [input] section using InputEventKey or InputEventMouseButton objects with physical_keycode values. Standard mappings include WASD for movement, Space for jump, Escape for pause, and left mouse button for shoot.

Does this work with existing Godot projects?▼

Yes, it scans existing projects using godot_get_project_state, reports the project name, main scene, and file counts, then fixes gaps such as missing directories, absent main scenes, or incomplete project.godot settings.

How do I set pixel art texture filtering in Godot 4?▼

Set rendering/textures/canvas_textures/default_texture_filter=0 in project.godot for nearest-neighbor pixel art rendering. Use a value of 1 for smooth linear filtering instead.

Why does my Godot project fail to launch after initialization?▼

Common causes are a missing or incorrect run/main_scene path in project.godot or a scene file referencing a nonexistent script. Use godot_run_scene and godot_get_errors via MCP to identify and fix the issue.
