What Game AI does

Game AI helps design NPC and enemy decision-making with finite state machines, behavior trees, steering behaviors, and A* pathfinding. Use it for patrol/chase logic, movement steering, or routing agents around a map.

Game AI is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Game AI comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, antigravity, awesome-list and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Game AI: decisions, steering, and pathfinding

Build believable NPC behavior from three separable layers: decide (what to do), steer (how to move there), and path (how to route around the map). Keep them decoupled — a behavior tree picks a target, the pathfinder produces waypoints, steering follows them. This skill teaches the engine-neutral algorithms; bind them to your engine via the related skills below.
