SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the modernization of Godot 3.x UI scenes and scripts to Godot 4.x best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Theme extraction: centralize UI styling into Theme resources to enable consistent visual updates across the project.
  • Anchoring standardization: convert manual positioning to anchors and layout containers for responsive UI.
  • hiDPI & scaling: implement hiDPI-safe scaling and responsive sizing to support multiple displays.
  • BBCode modernization: migrate RichTextLabel BBCode to Godot 4.x patterns and fonts usage.
  • Reusable controls: create and adopt custom controls with built-in theming for reuse across projects.

Quick Start

Start by auditing all UI scenes for hardcoded styles and replace with Theme resources. Create a Theme resource at res://ui/themes/main_theme.tres and assign it to the root Control. Update all Control anchors and LayoutContainer usage to ensure responsive behavior. Update RichTextLabel BBCode patterns to Godot 4.x syntax.
