Build branching dialogue and narrative — a node/choice graph with conditions, variables, and localization hooks — and choose between authoring tools Ink and Yarn Spinner or a custom data-driven runner. Engine-neutral. Use when the user mentions dialogue system, branching dialogue, conversation tree, choices, Ink (.ink), Yarn Spinner (.yarn), or NPC dialogue.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dialogue systems Model conversations as a **graph**: nodes hold lines, choices branch the flow, conditions gate options, and variables remember what the player did. The first real decision is *build vs. buy* — adopt a proven authoring tool (**Ink** or **Yarn Spinner**) or write a small data-driven runner. This skill owns both Ink and Yarn; the `visual-novel` and `rpg` genres consume it. ## When to use - Use to design branching conversations, choice menus, or narrative state (flags, relationship values) that affect later dialogue. - Use to decide between Ink, Yarn Spinner, and a custom JSON/resource format. - Use to wire a dialogue script into your game loop (advance line, present choices, run commands, resolve variables). **When *not* to use:** for engine UI (text boxes, portraits, choice buttons), use `godot-ui-control` or the engine's UI skill. For persisting narrative variables across sessions, use `save-systems`. For data-as-resources in Godot/Unity, see `godot-resources` / `unity-scriptableobjects`. ## Core workflow 1. **Choose the authoring approach.** - **Ink** — prose-first, writer-friendly, weave/gather flow; great for …

How to install
mdr add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills/dialogue-systems@sha256:1ffcc673e7309c19The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.e4e9569, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
