Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add gamedev-skills-input-systems
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("gamedev-skills-input-systems")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install gamedev-skills-input-systems

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/gamedev-skills-input-systems/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/gamedev-skills-input-systems/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

.claude/skills/gamedev-skills-input-systems/SKILL.md

This gets SKILL.md only. The skill's 1 other file is not included.

Input systems

Never wire gameplay to raw keys. Map physical inputs (a key, a button, a touch) to named actions (jump, interact, move), and let gameplay read actions. That one indirection gives you rebinding, multi-device support, and accessibility almost for free. This skill is the engine-neutral architecture; bind it to unity-input-system, unreal-enhanced-input, or Godot's InputMap.

When to use

Use to design an input layer: actions, bindings, multiple devices, and a rebinding UI with conflict detection and saved bindings.
Use to add analog handling (deadzones, sensitivity) and game-feel features (input buffering, coyote time).
Use to make controls accessible (full remapping, hold-vs-toggle, sensitivity, no required simultaneous presses).

When not to use: for an engine's concrete input package/API, use unity-input-system, unreal-enhanced-input, or Godot's InputMap. For the movement/jump physics the buffer feeds, see physics-tuning and the engine movement skill. Persisting bindings to disk is save-systems.

Core workflow

Define actions, not keys. Gameplay asks "is jump pressed?", never "is Space pressed?". Actions are the stable contract; bindings are data.
Bind per device. Each action holds bindings for keyboard, gamepad, and touch. The active device is whichever last sent input; swap UI prompts to match.
Read the right edge. Use pressed-this-frame (edge) for discrete actions (jump, interact) and held (level) for continuous ones (move, aim). Confusing the two causes double-fires or missed presses.
Filter analog input. Apply a deadzone to sticks/triggers so resting drift reads as zero, and scale sensitivity/curve to taste.
Buffer for feel. Remember a pressed action for a short window so a slightly early press still fires (input buffering); allow a jump shortly after leaving a ledge (coyote time).
Make rebinding first-class. A UI that captures the next input, detects conflicts, and persists bindings — and a reset-to-default. Save via save-systems.
Verify on every device and with rebinds: keyboard, gamepad, touch; rebind an action mid-game and confirm gameplay and prompts follow.

Patterns

1. Actions over raw keys; edge vs held

# Gameplay reads ACTIONS. The mapping from key/button to action lives in data.
# Discrete (edge): fire once on the press frame.
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
    try_jump()
# Continuous (held): read every frame as an axis.
var move := Input.get_axis("move_left", "move_right")   # -1..1, one axis
player.velocity.x = move * RUN_SPEED
# Two axes (stick or WASD): get_vector applies a circular deadzone, rescales
# past it and caps the length at 1, so diagonals are not faster.
var dir := Input.get_vector("move_left", "move_right", "move_up", "move_down")
# RIGHT: name actions ("jump"); rebinding/devices just change the binding data.
# WRONG: `if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_SPACE)` — unrebindable, keyboard-only,
# and `is_key_pressed` is a held check that would re-fire jump every frame.

Engine equivalents (Godot 4.7, Unity 6.3 LTS, Unreal 5.8): Godot InputMap + Input.is_action_just_pressed (valid in _process and _physics_process); Unity Input System InputAction / action maps; Unreal Enhanced Input Input Actions + Input Mapping Contexts.

2. Analog deadzone and sensitivity

# Raw sticks never rest at exactly zero. Apply a RADIAL deadzone (on the vector
# length), not per-axis, so diagonals aren't clipped into the axes.
func apply_deadzone(stick: Vector2, dead := 0.2, curve := 1.0) -> Vector2:
    var mag := stick.length()
    if mag < dead:
        return Vector2.ZERO                      # inside deadzone -> no movement
    # Rescale so motion ramps from 0 at the edge of the deadzone, not from `dead`.
    var scaled := minf((mag - dead) / (1.0 - dead), 1.0)  # some pads report > 1 on diagonals
    return stick / mag * pow(scaled, curve)      # curve > 1 = finer aim near center
# WRONG: clamping each axis separately — it carves a square hole and snaps to axes.

Keep the response curve (exponent) separate from sensitivity (a plain gain on the result, usually a camera turn rate) and expose both. Godot's get_vector already does the deadzone and rescale above, using the average of the four actions' deadzones (0.2 by default per action) unless you pass one.

3. Input buffering + coyote time (forgiving, responsive feel)

# Buffer: a jump pressed slightly BEFORE landing still triggers on touchdown.
# Coyote: a jump pressed slightly AFTER walking off a ledge still works.
const BUFFER := 0.12   # seconds an early press stays "remembered"
const COYOTE := 0.10   # seconds after leaving ground you can still jump
var _buffer_timer := 0.0
var _coyote_timer := 0.0

func _physics_process(dt):
    _buffer_timer -= dt
    _coyote_timer = COYOTE if is_on_floor() else _coyote_timer - dt
    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"):
        _buffer_timer = BUFFER                  # remember the press
    if _buffer_timer > 0.0 and _coyote_timer > 0.0:
        velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
        _buffer_timer = 0.0; _coyote_timer = 0.0  # consume both so it fires once

4. Rebinding with conflict detection

# Godot 4.7. Capture the next physical input, reject conflicts, then persist.
var _waiting_for: StringName = &""               # set by the "press a key for Jump" button

func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if _waiting_for != &"" and _is_bindable(event):
        get_viewport().set_input_as_handled()
        if not rebind(_waiting_for, event):
            show_conflict_warning(event)         # offer swap or cancel
        _waiting_for = &""

func _is_bindable(e: InputEvent) -> bool:
    if e is InputEventKey or e is InputEventJoypadButton or e is InputEventMouseButton:
        return e.pressed and not e.is_echo()     # ignore releases and key repeat
    return e is InputEventJoypadMotion and absf(e.axis_value) > 0.5  # ignore stick noise

func rebind(action: StringName, captured: InputEvent) -> bool:
    var event := _to_binding(captured)
    for other in InputMap.get_actions():
        if other != action and not String(other).begins_with("ui_") \
                and InputMap.action_has_event(other, event):
            return false                         # already used -> let UI warn/swap
    for old in InputMap.action_get_events(action):
        if old.get_class() == event.get_class():  # replace only this device kind's binding
            InputMap.action_erase_event(action, old)
    InputMap.action_add_event(action, event)
    save_bindings()                              # persist (see save-systems)
    return true

func _to_binding(e: InputEvent) -> InputEvent:
    if e is InputEventKey:                       # bind the physical key, not the layout's letter
        var k := InputEventKey.new()
        k.physical_keycode = e.physical_keycode
        return k
    var b := e.duplicate() as InputEvent
    b.device = -1                                # all devices: a pad binding must not stick to pad 0
    if b is InputEventJoypadMotion:
        b.axis_value = signf(b.axis_value)       # keep the direction only
    return b
# Compare bindings with action_has_event() / InputEvent.is_match(), never `==`:
# two InputEvents with the same key are different objects, so `==` is false.
# Always provide "reset to defaults" (InputMap.load_from_project_settings()), and
# never let the player unbind a key they need to reach the menu without an alternative.

Keyboard bindings use the physical key (physical_keycode, with keycode left at 0, which is what makes Godot match by position), so WASD stays in the same place on AZERTY or Dvorak; show the label for the player's layout with DisplayServer.keyboard_get_label_from_physical. Unity Input System action.PerformInteractiveRebinding() and SaveBindingOverridesAsJson() / LoadBindingOverridesFromJson(); Unreal Enhanced Input User Settings (enable under Project Settings ▸ Enhanced Input) with player-mappable keys on the mapping context.

Pitfalls

Hardcoding keys in gameplay blocks rebinding, locks out gamepad/touch, and scatters input logic. Read named actions only.
Edge vs held confusion: using a held check for jump re-fires every frame; using an edge check for movement drops held input. Match the check to the action.
Per-axis deadzones clip diagonal stick input and snap movement to the axes. Use a radial deadzone on the vector magnitude.
No buffering/coyote time makes tight platformers feel unfair even when the physics are correct — players "clearly pressed jump". Add small windows.
Rebinding without conflict handling lets two actions share a key, or strands the player by unbinding menu access. Detect conflicts; guarantee a way back.
WASD lands in the wrong place on AZERTY/QWERTZ: bindings stored by key letter follow the layout. Store physical key positions and display the layout's label.
A rebound gamepad button works only for player 1: the captured event carried pad 0's device ID. Store bindings for all devices (Godot device = -1) unless the game assigns pads to players on purpose.
Not swapping prompts on device change shows "Press Space" to a gamepad player. Track the last-used device and switch glyphs.
Ignoring accessibility: required simultaneous presses, no remap, fixed sensitivity, hold-only actions. Offer remap, toggle-vs-hold, and sensitivity.
Reading input in the wrong loop: poll held state in the physics step for consistent movement; capture discrete presses so none are missed between frames.
