bevy-ecs-patterns

bevy-ecs-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,212 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to advanced patterns for Bevy, a Rust game engine whose Entity Component System organizes game data and behavior. It covers complex queries, scheduling, change detection, and performance decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimize queries, model entity relationships, control system order, detect data changes, and handle parallel or batch operations.
Why use it?
It helps when basic Bevy patterns are not enough and systems become difficult to order, query, maintain, or optimize.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bevy-ecs-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bevy ECS Patterns

Advanced patterns and techniques for Bevy's Entity Component System, focusing on performance, maintainability, and complex game architectures.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use bevy-game-engine instead when...
Optimizing ECS query performance Setting up a new Bevy project from scratch
Implementing complex entity relationships or hierarchies Learning basic ECS concepts (components, systems, resources)
Designing system scheduling and ordering Handling input, assets, or game states
Using change detection (Changed<T>, Added<T>) Writing basic game logic or app structure
Working with ParamSet, parallel iteration, or batch operations Configuring rendering, UI, or audio
Debugging archetype fragmentation or storage strategies Adding plugins or common Bevy dependencies

Core Expertise

Advanced Queries

  • Complex query filters and combinations
  • Query state and caching
  • Entity relationships and hierarchies
  • Parallel iteration strategies

System Scheduling

  • System ordering and dependencies
  • Run conditions and gating
  • System sets and scheduling
  • Fixed timestep systems

Change Detection

  • Changed<T> and Added<T> filters
  • Ref<T> for change tracking
  • Efficient reactive systems

Advanced Query Patterns

Query Filters

use bevy::prelude::*;

// Multiple filters
fn targeting_system(
    query: Query<
        (&Transform, &mut Target),
        (With<Enemy>, Without<Dead>, Changed<Health>)
    >,
) {
    for (transform, mut target) in &query {
        // Only enemies that are alive and recently damaged
    }
}

// Optional components
fn flexible_system(
    query: Query<(&Transform, Option<&Velocity>, Option<&Acceleration>)>,
) {
    for (transform, velocity, acceleration) in &query {
        if let Some(vel) = velocity {
            // Has velocity
        }
    }
}

// Or filters
fn pickup_system(
    query: Query<Entity, Or<(With<HealthPickup>, With<AmmoPickup>)>>,
) {
    for entity in &query {
        // Process any pickup type
    }
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bevy-ecs-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository laurigates/claude-plugins (58 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,212 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
