What it does

Bevy Relationships is an agent skill from nolantait/bevy-starter. Reference for Bevy entity relationships — ChildOf/Children hierarchy, custom relationships with Relationship/RelationshipTarget, spawning children, and traversal.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: A minimalist starter for bevy and rust. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/bevy-relationships”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd6f56b. 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 Relationships loads about 722 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~722

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.

metadata.crate: bevy_ecs
metadata.bevy: 0.19

Built-in parent/child

Two components kept in sync:

ChildOf(Entity) — the relationship, added to child entities
Children(Vec<Entity>) — the target, auto-maintained on parent

The built-in hierarchy is wired into Bevy's transform and visibility propagation, so a parent's Transform and Visibility are inherited by its children automatically.

Children is declared with linked_spawn: despawning the parent also despawns its children and their descendants. Use detach_children or detach_all_children first if you want to keep them alive.

Spawning children

rust

// Via with_children
commands.spawn(Fleet).with_children(|parent| {
  parent.spawn((Ship, Name::new("Ship 1")));
});

// Via children! macro
commands.spawn((Fleet, children![(Ship, Name::new("Ship 2"))]));

Custom relationships

Define a Relationship and a RelationshipTarget:

rust

#[derive(Component)]
#[relationship(relationship_target = ShipAttachments)]
struct AttachedToShip(pub Entity);

#[derive(Component)]
#[relationship_target(relationship = AttachedToShip, linked_spawn)]
struct ShipAttachments(Vec<Entity>);

The RelationshipTarget must hold a collection implementing RelationshipSourceCollection — e.g. Vec<Entity>, an entity hash set, or a single Entity. linked_spawn means despawning the entity holding the RelationshipTarget also despawns the entities holding the Relationship. Without it, those Relationship components are still removed, but the entities stay alive.

Spawning with custom relationship

rust

let ship = commands.spawn(Ship).id();
commands.spawn((GunTurret, AttachedToShip(ship)));

// Or with related! macro:
commands.spawn((Ship, related!(ShipAttachments[
  (GunTurret, Name::new("Turret 1")),
])));

Querying relationships

rust

// Parent → children
fn from_ship(ships: Query<&ShipAttachments>, turrets: Query<&Name, With<GunTurret>>) {
  for attachments in &ships {
    for &attachment in &attachments.0 {
      if let Ok(name) = turrets.get(attachment) { }
    }
  }
}

// Children → parent (iter_ancestors)
fn from_turret(turrets: Query<Entity, With<AttachedToShip>>, att: Query<&AttachedToShip>) {
  for turret in &turrets {
    for parent in att.iter_ancestors(turret) { }
  }
}

// Parent → children (iter_descendants)
fn from_ship_desc(ships: Query<Entity, With<Ship>>, att: Query<&ShipAttachments>) {
  for ship in &ships {
    for child in att.iter_descendants(ship) { }
  }
}

Limitations

No native many-to-many relationships
ChildOf can only point to a single entity
Relationships don't fragment archetypes like other components
