godot-master
Consolidated expert library for professional Godot 4.x game and application development. Orchestrates 94 specialized blueprints through architectural workflows, anti-pattern catalogs, performance budgets, and Server API patterns. Use when: (1) starting a new Godot project, (2) designing game or app architecture, (3) building entity/component systems, (4) debugging performance or physics issues, (5) choosing between 2D/3D approaches, (6) implementing multiplayer, (7) optimizing draw calls or script time, (8) porting between platforms. Primary entry point for ALL Godot development tasks.
