What it does

Bevy Input is an agent skill from nolantait/bevy-starter. Reference for handling input in Bevy — keyboard, mouse, touch, gamepad, events vs resources, physical vs logical keys, and enhanced input.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A minimalist starter for bevy and rust. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/bevy-input”

Workflow steps

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

Messages — read MessageReader for input emitted by Bevy's input systems
Polling — resources like ButtonInput / Touches, or querying components like Gamepad

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 821df7d. 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 rust).
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

Bevy Input loads about 806 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 173 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~806

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.

description: Reference for handling input in Bevy — keyboard, mouse, touch, gamepad, events vs resources, physical vs logical keys, and enhanced input.
metadata.crate: bevy_input
metadata.bevy: 0.19

Two approaches

Messages — read MessageReader<T> for input emitted by Bevy's input systems
Polling — resources like ButtonInput<T> / Touches, or querying components like Gamepad

Input types

Type	Description
`ButtonInput<T>`	A "press-able" input, such as `KeyCode` or `MouseButton`
`Axis<T>`	Position data from certain input devices
`Touches`	A collection of `Touch`es that have happened
`TouchInput`	Messages representing touch-based input
`Gamepad`	Component on each connected controller, holding its button/axis state
`GamepadAxis`	Enum describing the axes available on a gamepad

ButtonInput methods

Method	Returns true
`pressed(k)`	Between press and release
`just_pressed(k)`	On the frame the press was processed
`just_released(k)`	On the frame the release was processed
`any_pressed([k1, k2])`	Any in list pressed

Keyboard

rust

fn jump(input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>) {
  if input.just_pressed(KeyCode::Space) { /* jump */ }
}

Physical vs logical keys

key_code — physical position on keyboard (use for gameplay)
logical_key — mapped to OS layout (use for text)

Mouse

rust

fn shoot(mouse: Res<ButtonInput<MouseButton>>) {
  if mouse.just_pressed(MouseButton::Left) { }
}

Mouse motion, cursor, wheel, gestures — read via MessageReader:

rust

fn mouse_events(
  mut motion: MessageReader<MouseMotion>,
  mut cursor: MessageReader<CursorMoved>,
  mut wheel: MessageReader<MouseWheel>,
) {
  for ev in motion.read() { }
  for ev in cursor.read() { }
  for ev in wheel.read() { }
}

Touch

rust

fn touch(touches: Res<Touches>) {
  for touch in touches.iter_just_pressed() { }
  for touch in touches.iter_just_released() { }
  for touch in touches.iter() { }
}

Gamepad

Gamepad is a component on each connected controller. Poll its own state, or use the ButtonInput<GamepadButton> / Axis<GamepadAxis> resources:

rust

fn gamepad(gamepads: Query<&Gamepad>, buttons: Res<ButtonInput<GamepadButton>>) {
  for pad in &gamepads {
    if pad.just_pressed(GamepadButton::South) { }
    if buttons.just_pressed(GamepadButton::South) { }
  }
}

Haptics

rust

commands.queue(GamepadRumbleRequest::Add {
  gamepad: entity,
  intensity: GamepadRumbleIntensity::strong_motor(0.5),
  duration: Duration::from_millis(300),
});

Modifiers (Shift/Ctrl)

rust

let shift = input.any_pressed([KeyCode::ShiftLeft, KeyCode::ShiftRight]);
let ctrl = input.any_pressed([KeyCode::ControlLeft, KeyCode::ControlRight]);
if ctrl && shift && input.just_pressed(KeyCode::KeyA) { }

Enhanced input (observer pattern)

Use observers to avoid scheduling issues with FixedUpdate:

rust

fn apply_movement(trigger: On<Fire<Move>>, mut players: Query<&mut Transform>) {
  let mut t = players.get_mut(trigger.context).unwrap();
  t.translation += trigger.value.extend(0.0);
}
