Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Game Multiplayer Netcode skill fit in?

Use when designing or debugging real-time netcode in any engine — choosing a sync model (authoritative server vs deterministic lockstep vs rollback/GGPO), client-side prediction with server reconciliation, snapshot interpolation, lag-compensated hit registration, and bandwidth work (delta compression, quantization, interest management). Triggers on 'rubber-banding', 'desync', 'hit reg', 'client prediction', 'reconciliation', 'rollback', 'GGPO', 'tick rate', 'lag compensation', 'jitter buffer'. Not for Godot connection plumbing — peers, @rpc semantics, node authority (use game-multiplayer-basics), MultiplayerSynchronizer setup and tuning (use game-multiplayer-sync), headless/dedicated server builds (use dedicated-server), or lobbies and matchmaking services (use game-steamworks-sdk).
