About this skill

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 .rpy source directly. Use only the references relevant to the change; init is 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.

PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py setup
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py doctor
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py init /absolute/path/my-game --title "My Game"
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py lint /absolute/path/my-game
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py build-web /absolute/path/my-game
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py serve /absolute/path/my-game
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py status /absolute/path/my-game
PYTHON SKILL/scripts/renpy.py stop /absolute/path/my-game

The verified SDK pin is 8.5.3 with matching web support. Helpers return JSON and log paths; use --help for flags. A rebuild needs build-web --force to replace the project's prior helper-owned output, followed by a browser reload. Serving does not compile source changes.

Playable delivery

For a game-making request, continue through engine lint, web build, and browser playtesting. Inspect screenshots as well as story state: check the relevant outcomes, dialogue readability, sprite/expression continuity, and missing assets. Use fresh revisions and returned choice IDs with WebMCP; the browser reference describes fallback controls when native WebMCP is unavailable.

The optional test command runs authored Ren'Py testcases and opens a native game window. Web previews use the browser; native tests are separate coverage, not a prerequisite for opening a preview.

Deliver the source project, preview URL, web build path, and checks actually completed, identifying any unavailable capabilities. Leave a requested preview running with its stop command; stop servers created only for temporary validation.
