Godot Programming Patterns

Apply a pattern only to a demonstrated design or performance pressure. A direct typed method call is often the best design.

Scope

Use this skill for:

• Applying SOLID as a diagnostic tool to Godot scripts and scene composition.
• Separating behavior into focused components without needless inheritance.
• Designing, emitting, connecting, and testing typed signals.
• Encapsulating reversible, queued, replayable, or remappable actions as commands.
• Implementing object pools with explicit acquire, activate, release, and reset contracts.

Do not use this skill for introductory node, scene, resource, Input Map, or editor guidance; use the fundamentals skill. Do not use it to choose authoritative game state, autoload managers, scene transitions, or persistence formats; use the game-architecture skill. Local patterns may support those systems, but this skill does not decide their ownership.
