Ren'Py
Author Ren'Py projects directly in the user's workspace. This folder contains the project template, SDK/build/preview helper, and browser bridge. Resolve bundled paths relative to this SKILL.md; the folder can be copied to another skill installation without its containing repository.
Start from the task
- New game or narrative/art work: read story-and-art.md. Shape the story and visuals around the user's brief. The starter is a runnable sample; replace its cast, plot, notes, and route tests as needed.
- Existing game: preserve its structure and edit
.rpysource directly. Use only the references relevant to the change;initis for a new project. - SDK, builds, or preview: read toolchain.md for prerequisites, configuration, and build behavior.
- Browser playtesting or bridge integration: read browser-control.md for tool discovery, state, and supported screens.
For generated art, use the native ImageGen tool and the system imagegen skill that documents it. This workflow does not pin an image API model. If multiple imagegen skills are installed, select the one for the native tool. Selected files belong in the project, with their source references retained. If native generation is unavailable, report the limitation and continue with existing or temporary art where useful; an alternative image provider needs the user's choice.
Local toolchain
Use an available Python 3.11.8+ interpreter for scripts/renpy.py; it uses only the standard library. Ren'Py runs through the SDK's bundled runtime. Below, PYTHON and SKILL stand for the resolved absolute interpreter and skill-directory paths, not literal commands.
