name: push-design description: Push GameGen Game Design to Godot by parsing AI responses and generating .tscn scene files. Consumes AI responses to build Godot objects/controls. allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash(python3:*), Glob, Grep, mcp__dynamodb__get_item, mcp__dynamodb__query_table, mcp__dynamodb__scan_table, mcp__dynamodb__put_item

Push Design Skill

Parses AI Game Design responses and generates initial Godot project structure.

This is an infrequent operation for setting up a new project or restructuring based on AI-generated designs. For regular syncing of layout changes, use project-sync instead.

What This Skill Does

1. Reads Game Design prompts from the AIPrompts table
2. Parses AI responses to extract scene hierarchies (tree structures like Root (Node2D) → UI (Control) → ...)
3. Merges with existing layouts preserving user-set positions/sizes
4. Generates .tscn files in proper Godot 4.x format
5. Updates project.godot with the main scene

When to Use

Use push-design when:

• Setting up a new project from AI Game Design
• Restructuring the scene hierarchy based on new AI design
• Initial project scaffolding

Use project-sync when:

• Syncing layout changes (positions, sizes, styles) to Godot
• Regular development workflow
• Exporting current DynamoDB state to .tscn

Usage

Ask Claude to:

• "Push design for project 2"
• "Build Godot project from the Game Design response"
• "Generate .tscn files from the AI design for project 1"

Workflow

1. Create Game Design in GameGen (right-click [PRJ] → Game Design)
2. Generate AI response describing the scene structure
3. Run push-design to convert AI response to .tscn files

Command Line

Copycd .claude/skills/push-design/scripts

# Parse AI Game Design and generate .tscn
python3 sync.py --project-id 2 --from-game-design

# Dry run to preview output
python3 sync.py --project-id 2 --from-game-design --dry-run

# Custom output directory
python3 sync.py --project-id 2 --from-game-design --output-dir /path/to/godot/project

Parser (parser.py)

Extracts scene hierarchies from AI responses. Handles formats like:

CopyRoot (Node2D)
├── UI (Control)
│   ├── ToolbarLeft (HBoxContainer)
│   │   └── Button_NewGame (Button)
│   └── StatusBar (HBoxContainer)
└── SlotMachine (Node2D)

Generator (generator.py)

Converts SceneNode trees to Godot .tscn format. This module is shared with project-sync.

DynamoDB Tables

Finding Game Design Prompts

Game Design prompts have:

• projectObjectID: "{projectID}_0" (e.g., "2_0")
• title: "Game Design"
• response: The AI-generated design document

Merging Behavior

When parsing Game Design with existing SceneLayout:

• Structure: Adopts the new AI-generated hierarchy
• Layout properties: Preserves user-set positions/sizes from existing nodes
• New nodes: Added with default properties
• Removed nodes: Dropped from the merged result

This allows iterative refinement: regenerate Game Design to restructure, keep manual layout adjustments.
