What it does

Bevy Timers is an agent skill from nolantait/bevy-starter. Reference for Bevy timers — Timer as resource, component, or Local; tick, isfinished/justfinished, TimerMode::Once vs Repeating.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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-timers”

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 Timers loads about 804 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~804

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.

name: bevy-timers
description: Reference for Bevy timers — Timer as resource, component, or Local; tick, is_finished/just_finished, TimerMode::Once vs Repeating.
metadata.crate: bevy_time
metadata.bevy: 0.19

Timer modes

TimerMode::Once — stays finished after reaching the end until reset manually
TimerMode::Repeating — auto-resets when it reaches the end

Timers tick up from zero to their Duration.

is_finished stays true after the tick that finished a Once timer, while just_finished is only true on that tick. For a Repeating timer the two are equivalent. A repeating timer can finish more than once per tick, so use times_finished_this_tick to know how many times it finished.

Timer as resource

rust

#[derive(Resource)]
struct MatchTime(Timer);

impl Default for MatchTime {
  fn default() -> Self { Self(Timer::from_seconds(60.0, TimerMode::Once)) }
}

fn countdown(time: Res<Time>, mut match_time: ResMut<MatchTime>) {
  match_time.0.tick(time.delta());
}

fn end_match(match_time: Res<MatchTime>) {
  if match_time.0.is_finished() { /* game over */ }
}

Implement Default by hand for this kind of wrapper: a derived Default would create a zero-length timer, since that is what Timer::default returns.

Timer as component

rust

#[derive(Component)]
struct Cooldown(Timer);

fn tick_cooldowns(mut commands: Commands, mut cooldowns: Query<(Entity, &mut Cooldown)>, time: Res<Time>) {
  for (entity, mut cd) in &mut cooldowns {
    cd.0.tick(time.delta());
    if cd.0.is_finished() {
      commands.entity(entity).remove::<Cooldown>();
    }
  }
}

Local timer

Local values are initialized from Default, and a default Timer has a zero-length duration, so wrap it in a type that builds a real timer through FromWorld:

rust

struct LocalTimer(Timer);

impl FromWorld for LocalTimer {
  fn from_world(_world: &mut World) -> Self {
    Self(Timer::from_seconds(5.0, TimerMode::Once))
  }
}

fn local_timer(time: Res<Time>, mut timer: Local<LocalTimer>) {
  timer.0.tick(time.delta());
  if timer.0.just_finished() {
    info!("Timer finished");
  }
}

Key methods

Method	Description
`tick(delta)`	Advance the timer
`is_finished()`	True if timer has reached duration
`just_finished()`	True if finished on the last tick
`times_finished_this_tick()`	How often a repeating timer finished this tick
`fraction()` / `fraction_remaining()`	Progress / remaining as `f32` (0.0 to 1.0)
`pause()` / `unpause()`	Pause or resume
`reset()` / `finish()`	Reset to zero / snap to finished
`duration()` / `set_duration()`	Get/set duration
`elapsed()` / `remaining()`	Elapsed or remaining time

Prefer the run conditions on_timer, on_real_timer, once_after_delay, and repeating_after_delay to run a system on an interval.

Time resource

Res<Time> is Time<Virtual> (affected by pause/speed). Use Time<Real> for unscaled time and Time<Fixed> inside FixedUpdate.

rust

fn time_info(time: Res<Time>) {
  info!("delta: {:?}", time.delta());
  info!("seconds: {:?}", time.delta_secs_f64());
  info!("elapsed: {:?}", time.elapsed());
}
