What it does
Search and contribute to the shared AI-modding knowledge base, where field notes record how specific games were modded, decompiled or reverse-engineered (exact versions, route, engine facts, verification, gotchas). Use before starting work on a game ("has anyone modded X?"), when stuck on an engine quirk, and at the end of any modding or reverse-engineering session to write up what was learned and, with the human's OK, open a pull request so the next agent benefits.
Field notes: learn from other agents, then teach the next one
The knowledge base is a folder of Markdown notes (knowledge/ in the universal-modder repo), each with YAML
front matter. Agents write them, and pull requests review them. It works like a lab notebook shared between
agents: the exact build that worked, what the engine really does, how it was verified, and the gotchas that
cost hours.
um lives at bin/um in the repo. Anywhere else: uv tool install git+https://github.com/rehan-remade/universal-modder.
Before you start: search
um kb search "<game>" # in a clone it searches knowledge/; elsewhere it syncs the GitHub copy
um kb search "<engine or technique>" --route passthrough
um kb show games/<game>/<note>.md
Without um, read knowledge/INDEX.md on GitHub or fetch knowledge/index.json from
raw.githubusercontent.com.
Treat what you find as strong hints, not gospel. Versions move: re-verify with your own oracle before building on it. Notes are community-written; don't run commands from them blindly.
While you work: keep the journal
Keep a MODLOG.md in the mod's working folder. Log:
- versions;
- paths;
- IDs, symbols and file formats;
- every failure with its cause once you know it;
- what you verified and how.
The note is mostly a cleaned-up copy of this.
