Using Claude Code for working on a module

You can use an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition module files for AI assisted module world.  You stay in creative control while an AI helps build, modify, and extend your module via natural language.  You can get the tool here: https://github.com/Txpple/nwn-mcp

Using Claude Code for working on custom content

If you use Claude Code, it can significantly help your custom content work, as well as modernize your workflows past using legacy tools like Tileset Duplicator, Set Editor, GFFEdit to manage your palettes, and the like.  This assumes you have working knowledge of Claude Code and/or are willing to teach yourself.  Of  Of course you need a subscription, too.
Having   To make the most of it, having CLI tools are essential, and you should get them at https://github.com/niv/neverwinter.nim

One way you can help your workflow is set your working folder to development or override in Claude Code and use rules to inform it of the files you are working with.  Claude Code rules are markdown files that provide Claude with domain-specific knowledge when working in a project. They act as persistent reference material — whenever Claude encounters relevant files, the rules automatically load into context so it understands the conventions, file formats, and pitfalls specific to your work.

How to Use These Rules

  1. In your NWN project directory that CC is pointed to (usually development or maybe override), create a .claude/rules/ folder
  2. Save each rule as a .md file in that folder (e.g., .claude/rules/nwn-set-file-format.md)
  3. When you start a Claude Code session in that project, the rules load automatically based on the files you're working with

Rules can optionally include a paths: frontmatter to scope when they load. For example, a rule with paths: ["**/*.set"] only activates when you're working with .set files.

Available Rules

The rules below cover NWN Enhanced Edition tileset development. With these, you can use Claude to edit your .set files, ITP files, and perform many tileset related tedious operations with AI assistance.
