Game recon

Goal: in about five minutes, know what you're dealing with and which route to take. Write the answer down so every later step can rely on it.

0. Has another agent been here?

um kb search "<game>" (and the engine name). A field note in the shared knowledge base can hand you the working versions, the route, and the gotchas before you touch anything. See the share-field-notes skill.

1. Find it and fingerprint it

um scan --list                 # Steam, Epic and Xbox installs (Windows, WSL, Linux, macOS)
um scan "<name or folder>"     # engine, version, exes (.NET?), anti-cheat, loaders, mod folders, saves, routes
um scan "<game>" --json        # the same, machine-readable

um lives at bin/um in the universal-modder repo (plugins and clones put it on PATH). Anywhere else: uv tool install git+https://github.com/rehan-remade/universal-modder.
