Project screenshotsAbout this Skill
Choose and implement state machines, behavior trees, steering, and A-star pathfinding for enemies and NPCs.
Why we picked it
Provides a focused workflow, implementation patterns, and common failure checks for game ai & pathfinding. Pair it with the detected engine and any related systems required by the task.
What it helps with
- Use when your game task needs game ai & pathfinding.
What this skill helps you build
Choose and implement state machines, behavior trees, steering, and A-star pathfinding for enemies and NPCs.
Patterns in the upstream playbook
The entrypoint covers: Finite state machine (one state object, explicit transitions); Behavior tree tick (composite nodes return a status); Steering: seek and arrive (smooth, frame-rate independent); A* heuristic must not overestimate (or paths stop being shortest).
Use it in your project
Inspect the existing project
Describe the desired behavior and share the relevant project files, engine version, and current failure or target result.
Apply the focused playbook
Choose and implement state machines, behavior trees, steering, and A-star pathfinding for enemies and NPCs.
Verify in the matching runtime
Run the project or workflow with its actual dependencies and check the changed behavior before accepting the result.

Shared collection installation
Install the complete upstream collection with its router and keep each skill’s bundled references, scripts, and assets. The dispatcher selects an engine and the smallest relevant task set; a member listing is a focused entry into that shared package.
