At a glance

Concise reference for the gz-sim Entity-Component-System architecture — how Entities, Components, Systems, the ECM, the Server, and SimulationRunner fit together.

  • Works in 2 steps: include/gz/sim/EntityComponentManager.hh… → include/gz/sim/System.hh — the…
  • The user asks how gz-sim is organized
  • SKILL.md covers The core types, Adding behaviour: pick a…, The "Cmd / state / Reset"… and Querying the ECM efficiently, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gz Ecs Overview is an agent skill from harunkurtdev/ros2-claude-code-template. Concise reference for the gz-sim Entity-Component-System architecture — how Entities, Components, Systems, the ECM, the Server, and SimulationRunner fit together. Trigger when the user asks how gz-sim is organized, where to add code, or how the simulation loop runs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks how gz-sim is organized
  • Where to add code
  • How the simulation loop runs

Example prompts

  • “/gz-ecs-overview”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. include/gz/sim/EntityComponentManager.hh — every comment matters.
  2. include/gz/sim/System.hh — the interfaces are tiny and tell you

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b3a43d. 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 (its code samples are cpp).

    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

Gz Ecs Overview loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 382 words (~1,230 tokens).

“topics. Do not mutate the world here unless you're spawning fixtures.”
