Use the skills with your AI tool

Every importer package includes skills that teach your AI tool to write correct zImporter code.

Skills are short Markdown guides written for AI tools. Every zImporter package now includes a set made for that engine, so your AI uses the right methods and follows the responsive layout rules without you explaining them.

What's included

SkillWhat it teaches
zimporter-setupInstalling, loading scenes, finding elements, switching scenes
zimporter-componentsButtons, toggles, sliders, scrollbars, states, text and text inputs
zimporter-responsive-layoutMoving, scaling, hiding and animating elements without breaking the layout
zimporter-animation-and-spawningTimelines, cue points and spawning templates at runtime

Get them

Skills are included from version 1.0.98 of zimporter-pixi, 1.1.2 of zimporter-pixi8, 1.0.73 of zimporter-phaser and 1.1.2 of zimporter-html. Update to the latest version:

npm i zimporter-pixi@latest

The skills are now in your project, in this folder:

node_modules/zimporter-pixi/skills/

Option 1: Add them in zStudio

Use this if your AI tool is connected to zStudio over MCP, or if you use the built-in AI Chat.

  • Open Help → AI Skill Libraries…
  • Choose Add Library Folder… and pick the skills folder above.

The AI then loads only the skills it needs for each task, alongside your own libraries.

Option 2: Point your AI tool at the folder

Use this for any AI tool that can read files in your project. Tell it where the skills are:

Before writing code that uses zimporter-pixi, read the skills in
node_modules/zimporter-pixi/skills/ and follow them.
Add that instruction to your AI tool's project instructions file, so it applies to every session and you don't have to repeat it.

The skills update whenever you update the package, so they always match the version you have installed.
