SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Large Godot scripts often grow beyond 150 lines, mixing gameplay, UI, and data logic, making them hard to read, test, and maintain. This skill detects oversized, multi-responsibility scripts and reorganizes them into focused component scripts that preserve behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatically identifies monolithic scripts and splits them into dedicated components (e.g., MovementComponent, CombatComponent, InventoryComponent, UIComponent).
  • Preserves existing behavior and public API while updating wiring and references; commits each split for traceability.
  • Integrates with the godot-refactor orchestrator and supports subsequent signaller integration and scene updates as needed.

Quick Start

Run the godot-split-scripts skill against a project with monolithic scripts to automatically create component scripts and update references, with a Git commit per split.

When should I refactor GDScript into single-responsibility components?▼

You should refactor GDScript into single-responsibility components when scripts exceed 150 lines and mix gameplay, UI, and data logic, making them hard to read, test, and maintain.

Does splitting Godot scripts automatically preserve existing behavior and references?▼

Do I need Git to refactor GDScript files into components?▼

Yes, you need Git to refactor GDScript files into components, as the process runs validations and commits each split operation individually to ensure traceability and safe recoverability.

Does this GDScript refactoring tool work with Godot 4.x projects?▼

Yes, this GDScript refactoring tool works with Godot 4.x projects, requiring Godot 4.x to automatically detect oversized scripts and generate dedicated component scripts with updated wiring.

What is the best way to organize large GDScript files in Godot?▼

The best way to organize large GDScript files is to split them into focused component scripts handling specific tasks like movement, combat, inventory, and UI, preserving behavior while updating references.
