What it does
Unity Patterns is an agent skill from Besty0728/Unity-Skills. Advise on choosing Unity design patterns
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Game Development, covering Design patterns. The repository describes itself as: AI automation skills specifically designed for Unity. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Design patterns
Example prompts
- “/unity-patterns”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12a40e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Unity Patterns loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 703 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Before calling any skill in this module: if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via
GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.
Triggers
- Deciding which pattern fits a problem
- Structuring decoupled systems
- Choosing event/state-machine/pool approaches
- 判断哪种模式适合某问题、构建解耦系统、在事件/状态机/对象池方案间抉择
Unity Pattern Selector
Use this skill to decide whether a pattern is justified. Do not recommend every pattern at once.
Guardrails
Mode: Documentation only — no REST skills to gate; load freely under any operating mode (Approval / Auto / Bypass).
- Recommend at most 1-3 patterns, and explain why simpler options are not enough.
Pattern Guide
ScriptableObject- Use for authored config, shared static data, event channels, and reusable data assets.
- Avoid as the default home for per-run mutable gameplay state.
C# events / delegates- Use for one-to-many notifications with clear ownership and unsubscribe points.
- Avoid for imperative flows that need ordering, return values, or complex debugging.
Global event bus / observer hub- Use sparingly and only when many systems truly need broad decoupled notifications.
- Avoid as the default answer to coupling. It often hides ownership and makes debugging harder.
Interfaces- Use when multiple implementations or clearer dependency boundaries are needed.
- Avoid adding interfaces around every class without a real seam.
State machine- Use for actors with mutually exclusive states and explicit transitions.
- Avoid when a few booleans or a small command flow is enough.
Object pool- Use for frequent spawn/despawn of bullets, VFX, enemies, UI items.
- Avoid for rare objects or when lifetime is simple.
Service layer- Use for a small number of cross-scene systems with explicit bootstrap and interfaces.
- Avoid turning everything into hidden singletons or service locators.
Generics / custom attributes- Use when they remove repeated boilerplate with clear type safety or editor metadata value.
- Avoid when they make gameplay code harder to read than duplicated simple code.
Decision Lab: Same Goal, Multiple Implementations
The Pattern Guide above answers "which pattern?". For most non-trivial design decisions, the better exercise is: pick the 2-3 plausible implementations, put them side by side, and compare on switch cost, query cost, code complexity, and failure modes. Below is a worked example; use it as the shape for other decisions rather than as the answer.
Show full SKILL.md (323 more words)Show less
Worked example: "Pause AI on 100 enemies for a cutscene"
| Implementation | Switch cost (enter/exit cutscene) | Per-frame cost while paused | Code complexity | Failure modes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Field flag: each EnemyAI.Update starts with if (_paused) return;; manager sets the flag | O(N) writes, no allocations | N branch tests + dispatch overhead per frame | Lowest — one bool, one guard clause | Silent bugs when a dev adds a new Update and forgets the guard |
enabled = false: manager disables the MonoBehaviour on every enemy | O(N) writes, no allocations | Zero — Unity skips disabled Behaviours in its message list | Low, but state spread across components | OnDisable / OnEnable side effects (coroutines stop, listeners unsubscribe) may fire unexpectedly |
Subset list: manager keeps _active / _frozen lists; no per-enemy Update — manager ticks only _active | O(N) list move on switch | Proportional to _active count only — perfect early-cull | Highest — one source of truth for ownership, requires managed ticking | Adding a new Update on enemies reintroduces per-frame cost; the list is easy to desync if other code respawns enemies directly |
How to use
- Pick the smallest scale where the trade-off matters. At N=5 all three are indistinguishable; at N=5000 only the subset list stays flat.
- State what gets worse under each option, not only what improves. A table with only upsides is a sign you haven't thought about it yet.
- The ECS lesson is that the same three shapes (value change, structural change, enableable) show up everywhere — the labels transfer even when the framework does not. Source:
Dots101/Entities101/Assets/HelloCube/13. StateChange/SetStateSystem.cs:42-80— one system dispatches to three implementations behindconfig.Mode, each with measurably different cost in the profiler.
When to skip this exercise
If one option is obviously bounded (N ≤ 10, state changes once per session, or the code runs once at startup), a single paragraph "we picked X because it's simplest" is enough. Decision Lab is for choices that will outlive the current task.
Output Format
- Recommended pattern(s)
- Why they fit this case
- Why not the simpler alternative
- Minimal implementation boundary
- Known tradeoffs
