SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Setting up a game engine for a new project involves manual configuration of version pins, technical preferences, specialist routing, and reference documentation, which is time-consuming and error-prone, especially for engine versions beyond the LLM's training data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Engine Selection: Recommends the best engine (Godot, Unity, Unreal) based on project genre, target platform, team experience, and budget, with honest tradeoff analysis for each option.
  • Automated Project Configuration: Pins the engine version in project config files, populates language-specific naming conventions, input/platform settings, and specialist routing rules.
  • Reference Doc Management: Auto-generates engine reference documentation for versions beyond the LLM's training data, and supports refreshing docs or auditing upgrades between engine versions.
  • Use Case: A solo indie developer starting a 2D mobile puzzle game can complete full engine setup for Godot, including version pinning, GDScript configuration, and reference docs, in a single guided session instead of hours of manual research and file editing.

Quick Start

Use the setup-engine skill to configure Unity 2023.3 as your project's game engine with C# as the primary language and full console support enabled.
