Godot Game Verification

Run headless Godot checks deterministically and read the report. Use this skill when adding or running automated Godot verification (scene audits, determinism gates, content validation). It needs only a Godot binary, a project, and a manifest — no other skill, root module, or game-specific setup.

Workflow

  1. Select the affected checks; run the smallest subset that covers the change

(--filter SUBSTRING). Expand for an affected dependency, failure or repository-required gate; do not add an unrelated full sweep to a small edit.

  1. Run the import pass once per session (it is on by default); pass

--skip-import only for repeat runs in the same unchanged checkout.

  1. Run the runner, then read metadata/report.json in the run directory:
bash
python3 /path/to/installed/godot-game-verification/scripts/run_checks.py \
  --project PATH --manifest checks.json

For the manifest schema, log capture rules, and timeout behavior, read references/checks.md.

Constraints

  • Godot errors can exit zero or hang: a check passes only with exit 0, its

success marker, no SCRIPT ERROR / parse / compile / ERROR: lines, and no leak warnings — inside its timeout.

  • Structural assertions (node counts, hashes, invariants) are separate from

rendered captures (screenshots, video); never judge one by the other.

  • Reject empty fixtures: a check that ran zero assertions or produced no

output is a failure, not a pass.

  • Never auto-overwrite a golden baseline; regenerating one is an explicit,

reviewed step with a diff of what changed.

  • Pin the Godot version for structural hashes: digests are comparable only

between runs of the same engine build (the report records the probed version).
