Rewrite /dots-dev skill: Workflow-first, two-review sandwich, 6.5 pins
Realigns the skill with how sessions actually run now — it predated the Workflow tool and the ultracode two-review practice. Driven by an analysis of the full session history + the 26-file memory corpus + skill-authoring research, adversarially reviewed. Key changes: - Workflow-first orchestration: drop the dead manual "swarm (<=N agents)" model and the impossible 3-5-agent impl swarm; implementation is serial orchestrator MCP edits. New references/workflow-patterns.md (ground fan-out + design-review lens/critic) replaces agent-briefs.md. - Pre-code design-review + post-impl diff-review are now first-class gated phases (the spine that catches what green tests + a clean Play miss). - Size by blast-radius / netcode-heaviness, not time estimates. - Lean SKILL.md (222 -> 131 lines, -25% KB): leans on CLAUDE.md instead of duplicating its MCP cheat-sheet / anti-patterns / error-recovery. - ctx7 CLI / find-docs mechanism (the MCP verbs are gone); live-verified 6.5-era library pins; kill the dead NetCodeTestWorld test path. - Encode operator gates (no-time-estimates, present-forks, never-defer, tuning-autonomy) + the highest-recurrence MCP-edit / Workflow gotchas.

description: Run an adaptive Unity DOTS + Netcode for Entities dev session — sizes the task (trivial / small / feature), then orchestrates context7-led research, plan-mode-gated design, parallel agent swarms, DOTS-correct implementation, DOTS-aware validation, and a mandatory vault + memory update. Use when the operator types /dots-dev, "dots-dev", or opens a session on a Unity DOTS / ECS / Netcode-for-Entities project (anything like "let's work on <game>", "dots-dev: implement X", "design Y system", or other dev-session openings). Use as the default driver for any non-trivial DOTS work. Defaults all API/code research to context7. Detects a missing DOTS foundation and defers to the one-time project setup task rather than setting up inline.

# /dots-dev — Adaptive Unity DOTS / Netcode Dev Session Orchestrator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Drives an end-to-end Unity 6 development session for a **DOTS (Entities) + Netcode for Entities** game. The genre is project-specific (read it from `CLAUDE.md` + the vault); the constant is the tech stack: **data-oriented ECS, Burst, jobs, baking, server-authoritative netcode with client prediction**.
|
Drives a Unity 6.5 **DOTS (Entities) + Netcode for Entities** session. **`CLAUDE.md` (always-loaded) is authoritative** for conventions, build gotchas, the MCP cheat-sheet, anti-patterns, the memory layers, git rules, and the bootstrap/world model — this skill does not re-teach them; it carries the **orchestration process** CLAUDE.md lacks, and inlines only the few highest-recurrence gates it directly depends on (flagged ★). When the two disagree, `CLAUDE.md` wins.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This skill is **adaptive**: it sizes the task first, then runs only the phases that size needs. It is **reusable and path-portable** — it hardcodes no machine-specific absolute paths and works identically on macOS and Windows. It defaults every API / best-practice question to **context7** (Unity's DOTS APIs move fast). It keeps two things non-negotiable at every size: the **plan-approval gate** (`ExitPlanMode` before any state change) and the **doc + memory update** at session end.
|
The spine: **size by blast-radius → ground → (design-review) → plan-gate → serial implement → verify-ladder → (diff-review) → doc/memory bookend → offer commit.** Two adversarial reviews bookend the code; everything else flexes by size.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> **One-line reminder**: set max reasoning before invoking a Feature-track session. `/dots-dev` Feature track is heavy by design.
|
## Non-negotiables (every track)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Core principles (read first)
|
1. **context7-first for volatile DOTS APIs ★.** Resolve Entities/Netcode/Physics/Burst/Collections API shape via the **`ctx7` CLI** (or the **`find-docs` skill**) before writing it — never training-data recall. Two-source rule: docs for the *current API*, `unity_reflect` for the *installed engine shape* (they can disagree — reflection wins for the pinned version). Pins + flow → [`references/context7-libraries.md`](references/context7-libraries.md).
|
||||||
|
2. **Plan-approval gate ★.** Phases up to approval are read-only. Code is written only after the operator approves and you call **`ExitPlanMode`**. Self-policed, not harness-enforced.
|
||||||
1. **context7-first for anything DOTS.** Any API name, signature, pattern, or "current best practice" for Entities / Netcode / Physics / Burst / Collections is resolved through **context7** (`resolve-library-id` → `query-docs`) before it is written, and cross-checked against the official ECS Samples repo. Do not trust training-data recall for these — they change between minor versions. See [`references/context7-libraries.md`](references/context7-libraries.md).
|
3. **Doc + memory bookend ★.** Scan the vault/memory at start; update it at end (incl. CLAUDE.md self-maintenance). Protocol → `CLAUDE.md` Memory section + [`references/memory-protocol.md`](references/memory-protocol.md).
|
||||||
2. **DOTS-correct, not MonoBehaviour-correct.** The conventions are ECS conventions. `ISystem`+Burst by default, `IComponentData`/buffers/enableable, baking, jobs, `EntityCommandBuffer`, determinism. The classic-Unity rules (MonoBehaviour singletons, `[SerializeField] private`, coroutines) mostly do not apply. See [`references/dots-conventions.md`](references/dots-conventions.md).
|
4. **DOTS-correct.** ECS conventions per `CLAUDE.md` + [`references/dots-conventions.md`](references/dots-conventions.md). Any violation found in review is blocking.
|
||||||
3. **Plan mode through approval.** Phases up to operator approval are read-only. Code is written only after the operator approves and `ExitPlanMode` is called. Self-police this — it is not harness-enforced.
|
5. **Commit only when asked.** Gated like the plan — offer + propose grouping in the final report; commit only on explicit "commit"; **never push** unless asked.
|
||||||
4. **Documentation Protocol bookends.** Every non-trivial session starts with a vault/memory scan and ends with a vault/memory update. See [`references/memory-protocol.md`](references/memory-protocol.md).
|
6. **Operator gates.** Present-forks-don't-auto-decide · no time/effort/deadline estimates · never-silently-defer · tuning-defaults autonomy. See *Operator gates* below.
|
||||||
5. **Cross-platform.** Discover the project root (cwd / `$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`). Reference the vault repo-relative as `<repo>/Docs/Vault/`. Never write `/Users/...` or `C:\...` into code, docs, or config — committed `.mcp.json` uses `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}`.
|
7. **Path-portable.** Never write machine-specific absolute paths (`/Users/…`, `C:\…`) into the skill, code, docs, or `.mcp.json` — use repo-relative / `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}`.
|
||||||
6. **Synthesize early.** After each swarm, write a tight summary; pass only the upstream summary downstream. Never carry raw agent dumps forward.
|

**Use** for real DOTS work: a new system, component set, ghost/netcode surface, baking pipeline, refactor, balance pass, or design pass — on a project whose foundation already exists.

|
||||||
|
|

**Do NOT use** for: one-shot questions (answer directly); mechanical edits the operator already designed (just do them); harness/tooling setup; **project setup / installing the DOTS stack** (that is the separate one-time setup task — see Pre-flight); non-DOTS work.

||||||
## Adaptive track selection (do this first)
|
## Size by blast-radius — do this first (NOT by time)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Size the goal, then run the matching track. Plan-approval and the doc/memory update are mandatory in **all** tracks.
|
Pick the track from the *surface touched*, never from a minutes estimate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Track | When | Phases run |
|
| Track | When | Path |
|
||||||
|---|---|---|
|
|---|---|---|
|
||||||
| **Trivial** | one-file edit, rename, a fix you already understand | inline: quick scan → do → `read_console` → one-line session-log append. No swarm, no research swarm. Still plan-gate if it mutates anything non-obvious. |
|
| **Inline** | one-file edit, rename, a fix you already understand; a pure `*Math` helper with no wire/bake change | scan → do → `read_console` clean → one-line session-log append. Plan-gate only if it mutates anything non-obvious. |
|
||||||
| **Small** | a single system/component with clear design | Phase 0/0b (lite) → Phase 3 context7 research (1 agent) → Phase 4 plan → **approve** → Phase 6 implement → Phase 7 validate → Phase 8 doc. |
|
| **Small** | a single system/component, clear design, **no** ghost/prediction/RPC/relevancy/ordering/singleton-collision change | Ground (lite) → ctx7 verify → plan → **approve** → serial implement → verify L1–L2 → doc. |
|
||||||
| **Feature** | new mechanic, netcode surface, cross-cutting change, or anything >~30 min | full swarm, Phases 0–9 below. |
|
| **Feature** | new mechanic, **any replicated-surface change**, cross-cutting refactor, anything on netcode-heavy surface | full spine incl. **both** reviews. The standard **ultracode** mode. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When unsure, ask the operator with one `AskUserQuestion` ("Treat this as a quick edit or a full feature pass?") rather than guessing big.
|
**Blast-radius trigger** (forces Feature + the pre-code review) — touches any of: a `[GhostField]` / ghost prefab · prediction or rollback · an `IRpcCommand` / input · `GhostRelevancy` · cross-system `[UpdateBefore/After]` / group ordering · a singleton resolve where a second of that type exists. A pure `*Math.cs` helper that doesn't change wire/bake is cheap — but still run the ghost/ordering check. Unsure → one `AskUserQuestion` ("quick edit or full feature pass?"), don't guess big.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 0 — Pre-flight + intake gate
|
**ultracode** = the named heavy mode for Feature work: raise reasoning, run the two-review sandwich + Workflow orchestration. The project ships in numbered **Slices**; run the Phase 4 review before each netcode-heavy Slice (standing practice — see CLAUDE.md / MEMORY).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Foundation check (DOTS installed?).** Read `Packages/packages-lock.json` (or `manage_packages action=list`). If `com.unity.entities` / `com.unity.netcode` are **absent**, STOP: tell the operator the project foundation isn't set up and point them to the **one-time setup task** (installs the DOTS stack, asmdefs/bootstrap, vault, memory MCPs, `CLAUDE.md`). Do **not** install packages or scaffold inline — that is out of scope for this skill.
|
## The spine
|
||||||
2. **Unity ready?** Read `mcpforunity://editor/state`. If `ready_for_tools == false` or no instance is connected, surface it and ask the operator to open the Unity project. Don't spawn swarms until ready. If multiple editors are open, read `mcpforunity://instances` and `set_active_instance` on the right one.
|
|
||||||
3. **Memory stack reachable?** Quick probe: `basic-memory` (semantic recall) and `serena` (`find_symbol`). If either is down, note it and fall back (obsidian-cli + Glob/Grep). Continue — the protocol works either way. If Serena's C# LSP stalls on the Unity solution, record it and use Glob/Grep (or `claude-context` if installed) for this session.
|
|
||||||
4. **Max-reasoning nudge** (Feature track only, once): *"Feature track benefits from max reasoning — raise the slider before approving the plan."* Don't nag.
|
|
||||||
5. **Intake gate.** If scope / surface / depth / output is unclear, bundle 2–4 ambiguities into a single `AskUserQuestion` before spawning anything. If the prompt is already specific, skip the gate.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 0b — Plan-mode entry + Documentation Protocol scan
|
### Phase 0 — Pre-flight
|
||||||
|
1. **Foundation check.** `com.unity.entities`/`com.unity.netcode` in `Packages/packages-lock.json`? If **absent**, STOP — point to the one-time setup task (`Docs/dots-setup-task.md`). Never install/scaffold inline.
|
||||||
|
2. **Unity ready.** `mcpforunity://editor/state` → `ready_for_tools`. Not ready / no instance → surface, ask operator to focus Unity. Multiple editors → `mcpforunity://instances` + `set_active_instance`. (An unfocused editor throttles to near-idle and breaks Burst recompiles — ask for focus on heavy build/test/Burst sessions.)
|
||||||
|
3. **Memory stack.** Probe `basic-memory` + `serena`; on failure fall back (obsidian-cli + Glob/Grep) and continue.
|
||||||
|
4. **Intake gate.** Unclear scope/surface/output → bundle 2–4 ambiguities into one `AskUserQuestion`. Specific prompt → skip.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Declare plan mode active for phases 1–5: read-only only (`Read`, `Glob`, `Grep`, MCP resource reads, `unity_reflect`, `unity_docs`, `read_console`, context7, obsidian-cli reads, `basic-memory`, serena reads). No script writes, no `manage_gameobject` mutations, no vault writes, no `Edit`/`Write`, no state-mutating `Bash`.
|
### Phase 1 — Ground (read-only, plan mode)
|
||||||
|
Declare plan mode: read-only tools only (`Read/Glob/Grep`, MCP resource reads, `unity_reflect`, `unity_docs`, `read_console`, ctx7/find-docs, obsidian-cli reads, `basic-memory`, serena reads). No writes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Scan, in order (via obsidian-cli unless the Obsidian REST MCP is present):
|
Run the **Documentation-Protocol scan** (`CLAUDE.md` → vault MoC + latest session log → open DRs/roadmap → `basic-memory` recall on the goal's nouns → native `MEMORY.md`), then ground the work along three lenses: **code/asset graph** (serena `find_symbol`/refs, else Glob/Grep on `Assets/_Project/**/*.cs` + `*.asmdef`; `manage_scene get_hierarchy`; `unity_reflect` for goal types) · **knowledge state** (vault + `basic-memory`; quote locked decisions that constrain the goal) · **live state** (`editor/state`, `read_console` baseline, installed Entities/Netcode versions for ctx7 pinning). For Feature scope, fan this out read-only via the *Ground fan-out* Workflow pattern; for Small, do it inline.
|
||||||
1. `CLAUDE.md` at repo root — authoritative project conventions + game design pointers.
|
|
||||||
2. Vault map of content (`<repo>/Docs/Vault/00_Home/Home.md`) and the latest session log under `07_Sessions/<year>/`.
|
|
||||||
3. Open decision records (`_Decisions/` with `status: proposed`) + roadmap/backlog.
|
|
||||||
4. `basic-memory` semantic recall on goal keywords; native `MEMORY.md` + `memory/` for machine-local facts/feedback.
|
|
||||||
5. Task-specific vault search for the goal's nouns.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 1 — Project & doc context swarm (≤3 agents, Explore)
|
Synthesize a **≤400-word Project Brief**; discard raw dumps. If the goal contradicts a locked vault/`CLAUDE.md` decision, halt and surface.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **A — Code/asset graph**: Serena `find_symbol`/references over the relevant assemblies where it works, else `Glob`/`Grep` on `Assets/_Project/**/*.cs` + `*.asmdef`; `manage_scene(action="get_hierarchy")`; `unity_reflect` for goal-relevant types.
|
### Phase 2 — ctx7 API verification
|
||||||
- **B — Knowledge state**: obsidian-cli search + `basic-memory` recall for design/decisions touching the goal.
|
For every API/pattern the goal needs: `ctx7` CLI (or `find-docs`) pinned to the installed version, cross-checked against ECS Samples, **plus** `unity_reflect` on the installed type. Synthesize a **≤500-word Research Digest** (*steal / avoid / still-unclear* + the exact queries used). If a planned API is shown removed/renamed, halt and re-plan. **Web (`WebSearch`/`WebFetch`) is allowed ONLY for design/genre precedent — never for a DOTS API shape** (that path hallucinates). Research synthesizes-and-discards (reviews don't — Phase 4).
|
||||||
- **C — Unity live state**: `mcpforunity://editor/state`, `project/info`, `instances`; `read_console(types=["error","warning"])`; `manage_packages(action="list")` (confirm installed Entities/Netcode versions for context7 version-pinning).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synthesize into a **≤400-word Project Brief**. Discard raw dumps.
|
### Phase 3 — Plan → ExitPlanMode gate
|
||||||
|
Produce a **Unified Implementation Plan**: summary; exhaustive files-to-create/modify (Unity + vault, repo-relative); code skeletons (signatures only); build order with explicit "compile + `read_console`" checkpoints; the verification approach (L1→L3 ladder); **wire/bake-churn classification** (does this re-bake the subscene, change a ghost hash, or change an RPC collection hash? — re-mean bytes vs rename, per CLAUDE.md); vault updates; risks & open questions. Present it; `AskUserQuestion` on any high-stakes ambiguity. On approval, **`ExitPlanMode`** — the hard boundary. Do not start Phase 5 without it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 2 — Goal-understanding swarm (≤3 agents)
|
### Phase 4 — Pre-code design review (Feature / any blast-radius trigger)
|
||||||
|
**Before writing code** for any ghost/prediction/RPC/relevancy/ordering slice, run the *Design-review (lens + adversarial-critic)* Workflow pattern over the plan + ground-truth code. Three lenses — **netcode/relevancy · determinism/prediction · reuse/scope** — then adversarial critics that try to *refute* each finding against the actual code. This catches what green tests + a clean Play miss. The synthesized, code-grounded output is a **durable Build Spec** (kept at `Docs/Vault/.../<Slice>_Build_Spec.md`) that drives the build and feeds the DR — **do not discard it.** A surfaced design flaw loops back to Phase 3. Lens prompts → [`references/workflow-patterns.md`](references/workflow-patterns.md).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Decompose the goal into a **Goal Spec**: *Deliverables* (each with a "done when"), *Assumptions* (validate at Phase 5), *Open ambiguities* (research in Phase 3 or ask). Inputs: operator's verbatim prompt + Phase 1 brief only. If the goal contradicts a locked decision in the vault/`CLAUDE.md`, halt and surface before Phase 3.
|
### Phase 5 — Implement (SERIAL orchestrator MCP edits — never an impl swarm)
|
||||||
|
The single stateful editor + domain-reload ordering make parallel writes unsafe — **all Unity mutations are done by the orchestrator, serially.** Parallelism is reserved for read-only research/review.
|
||||||
|
- **Edit Assets `.cs` ONLY via MCP ★** (`create_script` new / `get_sha`→`apply_text_edits` existing / `script_apply_edits` for method+anchor edits). Raw `Write`/`Edit` on `Assets/*.cs` leaves a **stale compiled assembly** (and a raw-created `.cs` gets no `.meta`/test-discovery until `refresh_unity scope=all mode=force`). `Write`/`Edit` are fine for non-asset files (vault, asmdef JSON).
|
||||||
|
- **`apply_text_edits`: one edit per call ★** (multiple non-adjacent edits can misalign), always with `precondition_sha256`.
|
||||||
|
- `read_console(types=["error"])` after **every** write; fix before moving on. `validate_script` non-trivial files first. Re-query ctx7 for any ambiguous signature. Sequence across domain reloads (a component compiles before a system/baker references it). `batch_execute` for bulk wiring.
|
||||||
|
- Further MCP-edit hazards (`script_apply_edits` can't target a `struct : ISystem`; `manage_gameobject`/`manage_prefabs` silently drop enum + Vector3 → set via `manage_components` + verify; unfocused-editor stale-Burst) → **CLAUDE.md** "MCP / editor workflow" + "Burst hazards".
|
||||||
|
- **Tuning autonomy:** within an approved plan, pick sensible defaults + expose live knobs; consult only on a real gameplay/design fork.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 3 — Research swarm (context7-FIRST)
|
### Phase 6 — Verify ladder (definition of done — show evidence, not "done")
|
||||||
|
NetCodeTestWorld is `internal` and unused here — do NOT prescribe it.
|
||||||
|
- **L1** — `read_console(types=["error","warning","exception"], include_stacktrace=True)` clean vs the Phase-1 baseline. Burst/source-gen failures surface here, not in a plain build — any new one is a finding.
|
||||||
|
- **L2** — EditMode tests: plain-Entities `new World → register in SimulationSystemGroup → SortSystems → Update → assert` (`run_tests mode=EditMode`). Extract pure logic to a `*Math.cs` helper and unit-test it (cover swept hit-detection with a tunnelling regression). **Plus one live Play netcode smoke** — `execute_code` boot, step ticks, assert **server == client** for the replicated surface (identify worlds by `world.Name == "ServerWorld"/"ClientWorld"`).
|
||||||
|
- **L3** (visual/asset work) — screenshot via `execute_code` `ScreenCapture` → Read PNG, **and verify asset *values*** (`shader.GetPropertyType`-guard before `GetColor`/`GetFloat`) — a dark/stylized render masks material bugs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **A — DOTS/Netcode implementation (context7, primary)**: for every API/pattern the goal needs, `resolve-library-id` (seeds in [`references/context7-libraries.md`](references/context7-libraries.md)) → `query-docs`. Pin to the **installed** package version. Cross-check the official ECS Samples repo for working patterns.
|
Loop ≤3 fix iterations per finding; if iteration 3 still fails, halt and surface "I can't resolve X without a decision."
|
||||||
- **B — Determinism/netcode correctness (context7 + samples)**: prediction loop, ghost replication, command/input, world bootstrap — confirm current API shapes, not remembered ones.
|
|
||||||
- **C — Genre/design precedent (web, optional)**: only here is `WebSearch`/`WebFetch` allowed — how comparable games solve the *design* problem. Never use web for DOTS API shapes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synthesize into a **≤500-word Research Digest**: *What to steal / What to avoid / Still unclear*, plus the exact context7 queries used (so Phase 6 can re-query precisely). If context7 reveals an API the plan depends on was removed/changed, halt and re-plan.
|
### Phase 7 — Post-impl diff review (Feature)
|
||||||
|
Run the *Design-review* Workflow pattern over the git diff (same three lenses). **Findings default-refuted** — each must be confirmed against the code to stand — but **flag any simplification of a reviewed design as a likely regression.** This is the phase that has caught rollback bugs, region-routing regressions, and born-correct flaws that hundreds of green tests + a clean Play all missed. Real findings loop back to Phase 5.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 4 — Design & plan swarm (≤3 agents, Plan)
|
### Phase 8 — Doc + memory bookend (never skip)
|
||||||
|
Per `CLAUDE.md` Memory section + [`references/memory-protocol.md`](references/memory-protocol.md): session log → `Docs/Vault/07_Sessions/<year>/<YYYY-MM-DD>_<Topic>.md` (same-day → `_A`/`_B`); firm decisions → a DR in `_Decisions/` back-referenced from the log (the kept Build Spec feeds it); touched design docs edited in place (wikilink); durable cross-machine knowledge → a `basic-memory` note; machine-local facts → native `MEMORY.md`. **CLAUDE.md self-maintenance is part of this bookend** — a new gotcha updates it under its 40 KB budget (archive, don't delete); never silently defer it. "Skip the protocol" → still write a one-line stub log + record the preference as a native memory.
|
||||||
- **A — Code architect**: components (`IComponentData`/`IBufferElementData`/`IEnableableComponent`), systems (`ISystem`+Burst vs `SystemBase`), jobs, system groups/order, ECB usage, asmdef impact (which assembly: shared-simulation / client / server / authoring). MUST respect [`references/dots-conventions.md`](references/dots-conventions.md).
|
|
||||||
- **B — Scene/subscene/baking architect**: authoring MonoBehaviours + `Baker<T>`, subscene layout, ghost prefabs/authoring, what bakes where, URP/Entities-Graphics interactions.
|
|
||||||
- **C — Vault doc architect**: which design docs get touched, whether a decision record is warranted, the session-log scaffold.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Synthesize a **Unified Implementation Plan**: summary; exhaustive files-to-create/modify (Unity + vault paths, repo-relative); code skeletons (signatures only); build order with explicit "compile + `read_console`" checkpoints; **DOTS-aware test approach** (EditMode? PlayMode? `NetCodeTestWorld`? thin-client? play-tick determinism check?); vault updates; risks & open questions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 5 — Operator review (plan-mode exit)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Present the plan in full, highlight Risks & open questions. For any high-stakes ambiguity, `AskUserQuestion` with concrete options — do not proceed on assumptions. On approval, call **`ExitPlanMode`**. This is the hard boundary. **Do not start Phase 6 without explicit approval and `ExitPlanMode`.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 6 — Implementation swarm (3–5 agents)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **A — Script author**: `create_script` (new) / `apply_text_edits` after `get_sha` (existing). `validate_script` non-trivial files before write. `read_console(types=["error"])` after **every** write. Re-query context7 for exact signatures when the digest left anything ambiguous.
|
|
||||||
- **B — Scene/subscene/baking wirer**: authoring components, subscenes, ghost prefabs, ScriptableObject config assets, scene saves. `batch_execute` for bulk.
|
|
||||||
- **C — Asmdef/package guardian** (conditional): new assemblies or references — keep the client/server/shared/authoring split clean; verify it compiles.
|
|
||||||
- **D — Doc-skeleton author** (conditional): new vault docs get frontmatter skeletons now; bodies in Phase 8.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Parallelize only where write surfaces don't overlap. Sequence across domain reloads (a component must compile before a system or baker can reference it). Quality bar: compiles clean, no new warnings, console clean, conventions honored, Burst-compatible where it should be, no managed refs in unmanaged components, deterministic sim code, no edits during Play Mode (`manage_editor(action="play_state")` first).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 7 — Validate swarm (DOTS-aware, 3–4 agents)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **A — Console/Burst/source-gen sweep**: `read_console(types=["error","warning","exception"], include_stacktrace=True)` vs the pre-Phase-6 baseline. Burst-compile and source-generator failures surface here, not in a plain build — any new one is a finding.
|
|
||||||
- **B — Test runner**: `run_tests(mode="EditMode")` then PlayMode if applicable, via `get_test_job(... include_failed_tests=True)`. For netcode work, a `NetCodeTestWorld` connect/tick test or a thin-client check.
|
|
||||||
- **C — Runtime/determinism spot-check**: brief Play Mode entry, step ticks, confirm predicted/interpolated ghosts behave; screenshots for visual work; verify plan-specified entities/components exist.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
"Compiles clean" is necessary, not sufficient — determinism desyncs, rollback bugs, structural-change invalidation, and sync-point stalls only appear at runtime under prediction. Loop ≤3 fix iterations on a finding via a tight fix sub-swarm; if iteration 3 still fails, halt and surface a clear "I can't resolve X without a decision."
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 8 — Doc + memory update (never skip)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Session log → `<repo>/Docs/Vault/07_Sessions/<year>/<YYYY-MM-DD>_<Topic>.md` via obsidian-cli (template in the vault). Same-day collision → `_A`, `_B`, …
|
|
||||||
- Firm decisions → a decision record in `_Decisions/`, back-referenced from the session log.
|
|
||||||
- Touched design docs → edited in place (wikilink, don't duplicate into the log).
|
|
||||||
- Durable, cross-machine knowledge → a `basic-memory` note in the vault.
|
|
||||||
- Machine-local facts/feedback/working-style → native `MEMORY.md` (+ a memory file if substantive). Remember native memory does **not** sync across your Mac/Windows machines — cross-machine truth belongs in the vault.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the operator says "skip the protocol", still write a one-line stub log so the gap is visible, and record the preference as a native feedback memory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 9 — Final report

**Summary**: ≤4 sentences — goal, delivered, did it land cleanly.
|
||||||
**Summary**: ≤4 sentences — goal, what was delivered, did it land cleanly.
|
**What changed**: Unity / Vault — <repo-relative path> — <one line> (repeat)
|
||||||
|
**Validation**: L1 console clean · L2 tests X/Y + Play smoke (server==client) · L3 <if visual>.
|
||||||
**What changed**:
|
**Reviews**: pre-code <result> · post-impl <result>.
|
||||||
- Unity: <repo-relative path> — <one line> (repeat)
|
**Next step**: <one concrete next action from the log's Next-session intent>.
|
||||||
- Vault: <repo-relative path> — <one line> (repeat)
|
|

|
|

**Validation**: Tests <X/Y>, console clean, <netcode/determinism check result>.
|
|

|
|
||||||
**Suggested next step**: <one concrete next action, from the session log's Next-session intent>.
|
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
Then **offer to commit** and propose grouping; commit only on explicit approval. **Review first** (`git status` + `git diff --stat`); **stage explicit paths — never `git add -A`** (excludes `Library/Temp/obj/Logs/UserSettings`, `.csproj`/`.sln`, scratch screenshots/exports); keep each asset **with its `.meta`** in one commit; one commit per concern; match the repo's message style + the Co-Authored-By trailer; **never push**. Don't auto-loop into a fresh session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then **offer to commit** the changes (Phase 10) — propose how, but do not commit unless asked. Do not auto-loop into a fresh session.
|
## Workflow orchestration (the parallelism primitive)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 10 — Commit (only after explicit operator approval)
|
Manual "spawn ≤N agents" is dead — read-only fan-out (ground, design-review, diff-review) runs as deterministic **Workflows** with run-IDs and `resumeFromRunId`. **Implementation never fans out** (serial, Phase 5). Per-pattern lens prompts live in [`references/workflow-patterns.md`](references/workflow-patterns.md); the two cross-cutting rules:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Committing is a state change, so it is **gated like the plan**: never auto-commit. In the Phase 9 report, **offer** to commit and propose the grouping; commit only when the operator explicitly says so (e.g. "commit", "commit it", "commit for me"). If they decline or don't mention it, **leave git untouched** and note the changes are uncommitted for their review.
|
- **Always check the failures list ★.** A Workflow whose agents die on a session/quota limit returns **empty findings that masquerade as a clean pass.** Check failures explicitly; if any died, wait for the reset and re-run with `resumeFromRunId` — never treat an empty result as "no findings."
|
||||||
|
- **Scope subagent guardrails POSITIVELY ★.** A blanket "do NOT use tool X" in a subagent prompt gets read by the auto-approver as a *user* rule and can deny the orchestrator's own later call. Tell agents what they MAY do (read-only, these tools), not what they mustn't.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When approved:
|
Pass only the upstream summary downstream — never raw agent dumps (research discards; the design-review Build Spec is the deliberate exception — keep it).
|
||||||
1. **Review first.** `git status` + `git diff --stat` (and `git diff` on anything non-obvious) so the operator sees exactly what lands. **Stage explicit paths — never `git add -A` blindly.** Never commit generated/cache (`Library/`, `Temp/`, `obj/`, `Logs/`, `UserSettings/`), `.csproj`/`.sln`, or stray scratch files (debug screenshots, temp exports).
|
|
||||||
2. **Group logically** — one commit per concern, not one mega-commit: typically (a) the feature's `Assets/` code + assets, (b) tests, (c) `Docs/Vault/` + `CLAUDE.md`. Always keep a `.cs`/prefab/material/controller **with its `.meta`** in the same commit.
|
|
||||||
3. **Proper messages.** Read recent `git log --oneline` first and match the repo's style. Imperative subject (≤~72 chars) summarizing the change; a short body on the *what + why* with a back-reference to the DR / session log (e.g. "See DR-0NN"). End **every** message with the Co-Authored-By trailer the environment specifies.
|
|
||||||
4. **Branch + push policy.** Match the repo's convention (the `git log` reveals it — many solo DOTS projects commit straight to the default branch; if the history is *not* solo-commits-on-default, branch first). **Never push** unless the operator explicitly asks.
|
|
||||||
5. Report the commit hash(es) + a one-line summary of each, then stop.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## DOTS conventions (authoritative file)
|
## Operator gates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`CLAUDE.md` at the repo root is the project's source of truth; [`references/dots-conventions.md`](references/dots-conventions.md) is the reusable ECS/Netcode rule set this skill enforces. Treat any violation found in Phase 7 as a blocking finding. Quick reminders: `ISystem`+`[BurstCompile]` default; unmanaged `IComponentData`; `IEnableableComponent` over add/remove for frequently-toggled state; `Baker<T>` + subscenes for authoring; `IJobEntity`/`IJobChunk` + correct `Allocator` + disposal; `EntityCommandBuffer` for structural changes; no wall-clock in predicted sim; server-authoritative, clients send input; `[GhostField]`/`GhostAuthoringComponent` for replication. **Aspects are deprecated (Entities 1.4) — do not author new ones.** Always confirm volatile APIs via context7 at code-time.
|
- **Present forks, don't auto-decide.** Gameplay/design forks are the operator's call: present each with a recommendation, lock only what's approved, re-run the fork-locking ritual before each new milestone set. A Workflow that tries to auto-lock forks must be halted.
|
||||||
|
- **No time estimates.** Never frame work by minutes/effort/deadlines — the operator owns scheduling. Size by blast-radius, keep the engineering discipline.
|
||||||
|
- **Never silently defer/descope** mid-task (incl. CLAUDE.md maintenance) — do it now or explicitly ask the operator to decide.
|
||||||
|
- **Tuning-defaults autonomy** — for polish/balance, pick sensible defaults + live knobs; consult only on a real fork.
|
||||||
|
- **Aggressive-cleanup opt-in** — for an explicit cleanup session the operator may opt into max scope (deep behavior-preserving refactor, aggressive deletion, "commit for me" in logical groups on main, no push).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## MCP cheat sheet
|
## Boundaries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Need | Tool / Resource | Note |
|
**Stop and consult** when: intake too thin · goal contradicts a locked decision · a material design choice has no clear best answer · **plan gate (always)** · 3 failed fix iterations on one finding · operator intent drifts · a destructive op outside the approved plan is implied · the DOTS foundation is missing.
|
||||||
|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Is Unity ready? | `mcpforunity://editor/state` | check `ready_for_tools`, `is_compiling` |
|
|
||||||
| Installed package versions | `Packages/packages-lock.json` or `manage_packages(action="list")` | pin context7 to the installed version |
|
|
||||||
| Current DOTS API/pattern | context7 `resolve-library-id` → `query-docs` | **primary** for all DOTS code |
|
|
||||||
| What scenes/objects exist | `manage_scene(action="get_hierarchy")` + `find_gameobjects` | read before mutating |
|
|
||||||
| New script | `create_script(path, contents)` → `read_console` | auto-import + compile |
|
|
||||||
| Edit script | `get_sha` → `apply_text_edits` | prefer over raw `Edit` for `.cs` in Assets |
|
|

| Validate before write | `validate_script` | catch errors pre-domain-reload |
|
|

| Bulk ops | `batch_execute(commands=[...])` | 10–100× faster |

## Error recovery
|
**May loop without consulting** (≤3): compile/Burst fix→recompile · test fail→fix→retest · vault write fail→re-read→retry.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Symptom | Cause | Resolution |
|
**Abort without writing partial state** when: Unity unreachable >60s mid-session · project broken (asmdefs missing, won't load). If the Phase-8 vault write fails repeatedly, write a **local fallback note** + tell the operator — don't lose the session record.
|
||||||
|---|---|---|
|
|
||||||
| Tools "busy" / `is_compiling=true` | compiling | poll `editor/state` until `is_compiling==false` |
|
|
||||||
| `apply_text_edits` → `stale_file` | SHA changed | re-`get_sha`, retry |
|
|
||||||
| UnityMCP drops mid-phase | domain reload | wait ~5s, re-read `instances`, re-pin |
|
|
||||||
| `create_script` then "component not found" | reload not done | poll `is_compiling==false`, retry |
|
|
||||||
| Burst/source-gen error after a clean C# build | DOTS codegen failure | read the full console stack; fix the component/job; re-`read_console` |
|
|
||||||
| Serena `find_symbol` stalls/times out | C# LSP / .sln issue on Unity | record it; use Glob/Grep (or claude-context) this session |
|
|
||||||
| context7 version mismatch | installed pkg ≠ baked ID | re-`resolve-library-id`, prefer the installed version's docs |
|
|
||||||
| Test job timeout | slow PlayMode/netcode test | re-poll `get_test_job(wait_timeout=120)`; don't re-trigger |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### UnityMCP "not connected" — diagnostic protocol (subagents MUST follow before reporting it down)
|
**A bare `mcp__UnityMCP__*` error is NOT proof Unity is down** — before reporting it, run the diagnostic probe (CLAUDE.md / `mcpforunity://instances` → `editor/state` → `manage_editor telemetry_ping`; `InputValidationError` for an unknown tool = deferred schema → `ToolSearch select:` then retry). Escalate only after those fail.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A bare `mcp__UnityMCP__*` error is **not** proof the server is down. Before reporting "UnityMCP not connected", a subagent MUST run and quote results from:
|
## References (load on demand)
|
||||||
1. `ReadMcpResourceTool(server="UnityMCP", uri="mcpforunity://instances")` — `instance_count >= 1` ⇒ connected (stop reporting down); `== 0` ⇒ Unity not attached (operator opens Unity).
|
|
||||||
2. `ReadMcpResourceTool(server="UnityMCP", uri="mcpforunity://editor/state")` — `ready_for_tools==false`/`is_compiling==true` ⇒ transient busy, wait 2–5s and retry.
|
|
||||||
3. `manage_editor(action="telemetry_ping")` — success ⇒ bridge alive.
|
|
||||||
4. If the call returns `InputValidationError` claiming the tool is unknown, the schema is deferred — `ToolSearch(query="select:mcp__UnityMCP__<name>")` then retry (tool-loading, not connection).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Escalate only after 1–3 fail or step 1 returns `instance_count == 0`. Quote the literal error from each probe.

|

## Anti-patterns — things `/dots-dev` MUST NOT do
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Trust training-data recall for a DOTS API instead of context7.
|
|
||||||
- Author MonoBehaviour-world solutions (MonoBehaviour singletons, ScriptableObject "services" for runtime sim, `[SerializeField] private` data carriers, coroutines for sim) where ECS is correct.
|
|
||||||
- Author new `IAspect` types (deprecated in Entities 1.4).
|
|
||||||
- Store managed references in unmanaged `IComponentData`.
|
|
||||||
- Use wall-clock/`Time.deltaTime` or `System.Random` in predicted/deterministic sim.
|
|
||||||
- Do structural changes mid-job/mid-iteration instead of via `EntityCommandBuffer`.
|
|
||||||
- Edit `.meta` files directly, or read/write `Library/`, `Temp/`, `obj/`, `Logs/`, `UserSettings/`.
|
|
||||||
- Edit/commit `*.csproj` / `*.sln` (Unity regenerates them). Edit `.asmdef` / `manifest.json` instead.
|
|
||||||
- Edit during Play Mode (check `play_state` first).
|
|
||||||
- Write machine-specific absolute paths into the skill, code, docs, or `.mcp.json` (use `<repo>` / `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}`).
|
|
||||||
- Install the DOTS stack / scaffold the project inline (that's the separate setup task).
|
|
||||||
- Skip plan mode, start Phase 6 without `ExitPlanMode`, or skip the Phase 8 doc/memory update.
|
|
||||||
- **Commit or push without explicit operator approval** — committing is gated like the plan (Phase 10): offer it in the report, commit only when the operator says so, group logically with proper messages, and **never push** unless asked. Run more than one `/dots-dev` in parallel.

# Per-phase swarm brief templates
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fill the `{…}` variables and paste into the agent prompt. Keep each agent's context lean — pass only the immediately upstream summary, not the whole session. Every research/scan brief is **read-only** (plan mode through Phase 5). All briefs assume the agent will return raw data/findings, not a human-facing message.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 1 — Context (Explore, read-only)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**A — Code/asset graph**
|
|
||||||
> READ-ONLY. Map the code surface relevant to `{goal}`. Prefer serena `find_symbol`/`find_referencing_symbols` over text search; if serena's C# LSP errors or times out on the Unity solution, fall back to `Glob`/`Grep` on `Assets/_Project/**/*.cs` and `**/*.asmdef`. Identify: existing components/systems/bakers touching `{surface}`, the asmdef each lives in (shared-simulation / client / server / authoring), and any TODOs. Also `manage_scene(action="get_hierarchy")` for relevant subscenes. Return a terse symbol/asmdef map (names + paths), not file dumps.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Knowledge state**
|
|
||||||
> READ-ONLY. Search the in-repo vault (obsidian-cli) and `basic-memory` for design docs, decision records, and notes touching `{goal}`. Return: relevant doc paths, any locked decisions that constrain `{goal}`, open questions already recorded. Quote ≤2 load-bearing lines each; link by path otherwise.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Unity live state**
|
|
||||||
> READ-ONLY. Read `mcpforunity://editor/state`, `project/info`, `instances`. `read_console(types=["error","warning"], count=20)`. `manage_packages(action="list")` — report the **installed** Entities + Netcode versions (needed to pin context7). Flag any pre-existing compile/Burst errors as a baseline.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 2 — Goal spec (general-purpose)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: operator's verbatim goal + the Phase 1 Project Brief, nothing else. Produce a Goal Spec: **Deliverables** (each: name, surface, "done when"), **Assumptions** (to validate at review), **Open ambiguities** (frame each as a yes/no or multiple-choice question). Flag any conflict with a locked decision from the brief.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 3 — Research (context7-first)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**A — DOTS/Netcode implementation (context7 primary)**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: Goal Spec only. For each API/pattern `{goal}` needs, use context7: `resolve-library-id` (seeds in context7-libraries.md; pin to the installed version `{entities_ver}`/`{netcode_ver}`) → `query-docs` with specific questions. Cross-check the official ECS Samples repo. Return: for each deliverable, the current correct API shape + a minimal code pattern + the exact context7 query used. Flag any API the plan assumes that context7 shows removed/renamed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Determinism / netcode correctness (context7 + samples)**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: Goal Spec only. Confirm via context7: prediction-group placement, `Simulate` filtering, ghost replication setup, input (`IInputComponentData`) flow, world/bootstrap shape for `{goal}`. Return current API shapes + determinism pitfalls specific to `{goal}`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Genre/design precedent (web, optional)**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: Goal Spec only. `WebSearch`/`WebFetch` ONLY. How do comparable games solve the *design* of `{mechanic}`? Return: what to steal / what to avoid. Do NOT return DOTS API claims from the web.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Orchestrator synthesizes a ≤500-word Research Digest (steal / avoid / still-unclear + the context7 queries used).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 4 — Design & plan (Plan, read-only)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**A — Code architect**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: Brief + Goal Spec + Research Digest. Design the C#/ECS layer for `{goal}` respecting dots-conventions.md: components (`IComponentData`/buffer/enableable), systems (`ISystem`+Burst vs `SystemBase`), jobs, system groups/order, ECB usage, and which asmdef each file lands in. Output: file list (repo-relative) + class/system signatures only (no bodies) + build order with compile checkpoints.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Scene/subscene/baking architect**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: same. Design authoring + baking: `…Authoring` MonoBehaviours + `Baker<T>`, subscene layout, ghost prefabs/authoring, config assets, URP/Entities-Graphics needs. Output: assets/subscenes to create (repo-relative) + what bakes into what.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Vault doc architect**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: same. Design vault changes: which design docs get edited in place, whether a decision record is warranted, the session-log scaffold. Output: doc paths + one-line intent each (wikilink, don't duplicate).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Orchestrator writes the Unified Implementation Plan (see SKILL Phase 4).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 6 — Implementation (general-purpose)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**A — Script author**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: the approved plan slice for `{files}`. Create via `create_script`, edit existing via `get_sha`→`apply_text_edits`. `validate_script` non-trivial files first. `read_console(types=["error"])` after EVERY write; fix before moving on. Re-query context7 for any signature the digest left ambiguous. Honor dots-conventions.md (Burst-compatible, unmanaged components, deterministic sim, ECB for structural changes).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Scene/subscene/baking wirer**
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: the approved plan slice. Create authoring components, subscenes, ghost prefabs, config assets; save scenes. Confirm Edit Mode (`manage_editor(action="play_state")`) before structural changes. `batch_execute` for bulk. Wait for a referenced component to compile before attaching/baking it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Asmdef/package guardian** (conditional)
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: the approved plan slice. Add/adjust `.asmdef`s keeping the client/server/shared/authoring split clean. Never touch `.csproj`/`.sln`. Verify it compiles via `read_console`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**D — Doc-skeleton author** (conditional)
|
|
||||||
> Inputs: the approved plan slice. Create new vault docs with full frontmatter skeletons via obsidian-cli (bodies are written in Phase 8).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Phase 7 — Validate (general-purpose, DOTS-aware)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**A — Console/Burst/source-gen sweep**
|
|
||||||
> `read_console(types=["error","warning","exception"], count=50, include_stacktrace=True)`. Compare to the Phase-1 baseline. Any NEW error/warning — including Burst/source-gen — is a finding. Return blocking vs nit.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Test runner**
|
|
||||||
> If the plan specified tests: `run_tests(mode="EditMode")`→`get_test_job(... include_failed_tests=True)`; PlayMode if applicable. For netcode: a `NetCodeTestWorld` connect/tick test or a thin-client check. Return pass/fail with failing-test detail.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Runtime/determinism spot-check**
|

## Phase 8 — Doc + memory (general-purpose)
|
|

|
|
||||||
**A — Session log**
|
|
||||||
> Write `<repo>/Docs/Vault/07_Sessions/{year}/{date}_{Topic}.md` via obsidian-cli using the vault's session-log template. Sections: Goal, What happened, Decisions (link records), Files touched (Unity + vault, repo-relative), Open questions, Next-session intent, Notes. Same-day collision → suffix `_A`/`_B`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**B — Decision records + design docs**
|
|
||||||
> For each firm decision, write a decision record in `_Decisions/`, back-referenced from the session log. Edit touched design docs in place (wikilink, don't duplicate). Update roadmap/backlog for deferred items.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**C — Memory updater**
|
|
||||||
> Durable cross-machine knowledge → a `basic-memory` note in the vault. Machine-local facts/feedback/working-style → native `MEMORY.md` (+ a memory file if substantive). Do NOT put cross-machine truth only in native memory — it doesn't sync between the Mac and Windows machines.

**The `ctx7` CLI (or the `find-docs` skill) is the primary source of truth for every DOTS API, signature, and "current best practice."** Unity's Entities/Netcode/Physics packages change between versions and training-data recall is stale — resolve → query before writing DOTS code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Flow
|
> The old context7 **MCP** verbs (`resolve-library-id` / `query-docs`) are **not in this environment's tool surface** — do not call them. Use the CLI / skill below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. `resolve-library-id(libraryName, query)` → pick the Context7 ID (prefer High reputation + high snippet count + version matching the **installed** package).
|
## Flow (per the global `ctx7` rule)
|
||||||
2. `query-docs(libraryId, query)` with a *specific* question ("How do I declare an IInputComponentData and read it in a predicted system in Netcode 1.x?"), not a bare keyword.
|
|
||||||
3. Cross-check working patterns against the official **ECS Samples** repo ID below.
|
1. **Resolve:** `npx ctx7@latest library "<official name>" "<your specific question>"` → pick the `/org/project` ID (prefer High reputation + high snippet count + the version closest to **installed**). Use proper punctuation in the name ("Netcode for Entities", "Unity Physics", "Entities Graphics").
|
||||||
4. Limit: ≤3 `resolve` calls and ≤3 `query` calls per question (the tool enforces this). Reuse IDs across a session.
|
2. **Fetch:** `npx ctx7@latest docs <libraryId> "<your specific question>"` — ask a *specific* question ("How do I read an `IInputComponentData` inside a predicted system filtered by `Simulate`?"), not a bare keyword.
|
||||||
|
3. Cross-check working patterns against the **ECS Samples** repo ID below.
|
||||||
|
4. Limit ≤3 `library` + ≤3 `docs` calls per question; reuse IDs across a session. On a quota error, suggest `npx ctx7@latest login` / `CONTEXT7_API_KEY` — don't silently fall back to memory.
|
||||||
|
5. The **`find-docs` skill** is an equivalent path (it wraps the same source) — either is fine.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Two-source rule (do BOTH)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pair every doc lookup with **`unity_reflect` on the installed type** for the real, version-pinned shape. Docs give the *current API*; reflection gives *what's actually compiled in this project* — they can disagree, and **reflection wins for the pinned engine version.** (A research-only lookup once produced a false-negative on a character-controller API that reflection would have caught.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Pin to the installed version
|
## Pin to the installed version
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before querying, read the installed version from `Packages/packages-lock.json` (or `manage_packages action=list`). If it differs from a seed ID's version, **re-resolve** and prefer the doc set matching what's installed. The seeds below were captured during skill authoring and may lag the project.
|
Read installed versions from `Packages/packages-lock.json` (or `manage_packages action=list`) before querying. This project runs the **unified Unity 6.5 line**: `com.unity.entities` / `com.unity.netcode` / `com.unity.physics` all **6.5.0** (the 6.x scheme tracks the Editor; it succeeded the old 1.x lines — Entities 6.4/6.5 is the direct successor to 1.4, Netcode 6.5 to the old ~1.12/1.13 line). **"1.13.2" is no longer an installable version** — treat any 1.x number as API-shape *lineage*, not a target string.

How `/dots-dev` reads and writes knowledge. **`CLAUDE.md`'s "Memory — four layers" section is authoritative** for the layer definitions and the which-tool-when routing (in-repo vault · `basic-memory` · `serena` · native `memory/`) — this file does not re-table them; it carries the **session bookends** and the **fallback chain**.
|
||||||

## The four layers
|

|
|
||||||
| **basic-memory** MCP | Semantic + wikilink-graph recall over the *same* vault files (so the agent finds knowledge without grepping) | `basic-memory` MCP tools | Yes (indexes the committed vault) |
|
|
||||||
| **serena** MCP | C# symbol-level code navigation (`find_symbol`, references, edit-by-symbol) of a growing codebase | `serena` MCP tools | N/A (derived from code) |
|
|
||||||
| **Native Claude memory** | Machine-local facts, feedback, working-style; the per-project `memory/` dir + `MEMORY.md` + `CLAUDE.md` | Write tool / memory files | **No** — local to each machine |

|
|
||||||
- **"Find the literal string/asset GUID"** → `Grep`/`Glob`.
|

# Workflow patterns for /dots-dev
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The read-only fan-out phases run as deterministic **Workflows** (the `Workflow` tool), not hand-spawned agents. This file holds the two reusable patterns SKILL.md names. **There is no implementation pattern** — implementation is always serial orchestrator MCP edits (SKILL.md Phase 5), never a Workflow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Two rules apply to every pattern here:
|
||||||
|
- **Check the failures list.** A Workflow whose agents die on a session/quota limit returns empty findings that look like a clean pass. If any agent died, wait for the reset and re-run with `resumeFromRunId` — never read an empty result as "no findings."
|
||||||
|
- **Scope guardrails positively.** Tell each agent what it MAY do (read-only; these tools), never "do NOT use tool X" — a blanket prohibition gets read as a *user* rule by the auto-approver and can deny the orchestrator's own later calls. Every brief here is read-only; pass only the upstream summary downstream.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern A — Ground fan-out (Phase 1, Feature scope)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Three read-only lens agents in `parallel()`; the orchestrator synthesizes the ≤400-word Project Brief and discards the raw returns.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**A1 — Code/asset graph (read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Map the code surface relevant to `{goal}`. Prefer serena `find_symbol`/`find_referencing_symbols`; if serena's C# LSP stalls on the Unity solution, use `Glob`/`Grep` on `Assets/_Project/**/*.cs` + `**/*.asmdef`. Identify the existing components/systems/bakers touching `{surface}`, the asmdef each lives in (Simulation / Client / Server / Authoring), and any `*Math.cs` helper or system you'd otherwise duplicate. `manage_scene get_hierarchy` for relevant subscenes. Return a terse symbol/asmdef map (names + paths), not file dumps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**A2 — Knowledge state (read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Search the in-repo vault (obsidian-cli) and `basic-memory` for design docs, decision records, and notes touching `{goal}`. Return: relevant doc paths, any **locked** decisions that constrain `{goal}`, open questions already recorded. Quote ≤2 load-bearing lines each; link by path otherwise.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**A3 — Live state (read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Read `mcpforunity://editor/state`, `project/info`, `instances`. `read_console(types=["error","warning"], count=20)` for a baseline. Report the **installed** Entities + Netcode versions (`packages-lock.json`) so ctx7 lookups pin correctly. Flag any pre-existing compile/Burst error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern B — Design-review (lens + adversarial-critic)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Used **pre-code** over the plan (Phase 4) and **post-impl** over the git diff (Phase 7) — identical lenses, two inputs. Stage 1 = three lens agents in `parallel()` over ground-truth code; stage 2 = synthesize; stage 3 = adversarial critics that try to *refute* each finding against the actual code. **Findings default-refuted** — a finding stands only if a critic confirms it against the code. Post-impl additionally: **flag any simplification of a reviewed design as a likely regression** (this is the catch green tests + a clean Play miss). The synthesized output is a **durable Build Spec** — keep it (it feeds the build and the DR), unlike research which is discarded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**B1 — Netcode / relevancy lens (read-only).**
|

> Review `{plan|diff}` against ground-truth code for netcode correctness: ghost ownership (predicted vs interpolated vs ownerless — move ownerless interpolated ghosts server-only); `[GhostField]` vs server-only fields; `GhostRelevancy` region splits (`SetIsIrrelevant`, untagged-stays-relevant); singleton-collision (a second `StorageEntry`/buffer of the same type → resolve by distinct tag, never `GetSingleton<T>`); command-vs-input choice (one-shot shared actions → `IRpcCommand`, not a dropped `InputEvent`); RPC wire-hash stability (unconditional struct, re-mean-don't-rename). Return findings: claim · file:line · why it's wrong · fix.

**B2 — Determinism / prediction lens (read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Review for rollback-safety: `PredictedSimulationSystemGroup` runs multiple times per frame → idempotent, `.WithAll<Simulate>()`, no wall-clock/`Time.deltaTime`/`System.Random`; tick sentinels routed through `TickUtil.NonZero` + compared with `NetworkTick.IsNewerThan` (never raw `uint <`); predicted-physics group ordering (OrderFirst quirks); swept-not-point hit tests (tunnelling); ECB at-most-once destroy. Cross-assembly generics + enums in a Bursted system → ICE (store ops as `byte`). Return findings as in B1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**B3 — Reuse / scope lens (read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Does `{plan|diff}` duplicate an existing system or `*Math` helper instead of reusing it? Is the scope minimal — anything over-built, or a feature that could reuse a replicated component already on the wire? Any MonoBehaviour-world shortcut (MonoBehaviour singleton, ScriptableObject "service" for runtime sim, coroutine for sim) where ECS is correct? Any new `IAspect` (deprecated)? Return findings as in B1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Critic (stage 3, read-only).**
|
||||||
|
> Here is a candidate finding: `{finding}`. Try to REFUTE it by reading the actual code at `{paths}`. Default to "refuted" unless the code confirms the problem is real and reachable. Return: refuted | confirmed · the code evidence · (if confirmed) severity + the minimal fix.

## Orchestration notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Sizes scale to the ask: a small ghost change → one lens + a single critic pass; "thoroughly review this slice" / ultracode → all three lenses + 3-vote adversarial critics + a completeness pass.
|
||||||
|
- Keep agent context lean — each gets the plan/diff slice + the relevant ground-truth paths, not the whole session.
|
||||||
|
- The Build Spec is line-numbered and lives at `Docs/Vault/.../<Slice>_Build_Spec.md`; the run-ID (`wf_…`) is recorded in the session log / DR for `resumeFromRunId`.
