unity-ecs-patterns

unity-ecs-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from sonereraslan/local-marketplace. It costs 129 tokens per session (1,557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Unity's DOTS systems: the Entity Component System, Job System, and Burst Compiler. These are Unity tools for processing large numbers of game objects efficiently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or converting systems with entities, components, jobs, Burst-compiled code, queries, baking, or entity command buffers.
Why use it?
It helps you choose and apply data-oriented patterns when ordinary object-based Unity code may not handle large workloads well.

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

unity-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 9d ago.

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.

Unity ECS Patterns

Production patterns for Unity DOTS: Entity Component System, Job System, and Burst Compiler

When to Use This Skill

  • Building high-performance Unity games with DOTS
  • Managing thousands of entities efficiently
  • Implementing data-oriented game systems
  • Optimising CPU-bound game logic
  • Converting MonoBehaviour/OOP code to ECS
  • Using the Job System and Burst Compiler for parallelism

ECS vs OOP — When to Use Which

Aspect MonoBehaviour / OOP ECS / DOTS
Data layout Object-oriented (scattered) Data-oriented (contiguous)
Memory access Cache-unfriendly Cache-friendly
Processing Per-object Batched by archetype
Scaling Degrades with count Linear scaling
Best for Complex behaviours, editor tools Mass simulation, performance-critical paths

Rule of thumb: Use MonoBehaviour for game logic that runs on a handful of objects. Use ECS when you need hundreds or thousands of the same thing processed every frame.


Core Concepts

Entity     — Lightweight ID only (no data, no behaviour)
Component  — Pure data struct, no methods (IComponentData)
System     — Logic that queries and processes components (ISystem)
World      — Container that owns all entities and systems
Archetype  — A unique combination of component types
Chunk      — 16KB memory block holding all entities of the same archetype

Component Types

Type Interface Use for
Data component IComponentData Per-entity data (Speed, Health, Position)
Tag component IComponentData (zero-size) Filtering queries without data (EnemyTag)
Buffer component IBufferElementData Variable-length array per entity (inventory)
Shared component ISharedComponentData Groups entities by value (TeamId, MaterialId)
Enableable component IEnableableComponent Toggle on/off without structural change
Singleton component IComponentData One entity, global access via SystemAPI.GetSingleton<T>()

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.
