description: Master Unity ECS (Entity Component System) with DOTS, Jobs, and Burst for high-performance game development. Use when building data-oriented games, optimizing performance, or working with large entity counts.

Unity ECS Patterns

Production patterns for Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) including Entity Component System, Job System, and Burst Compiler.

Use this skill when

• Building high-performance Unity games
• Managing thousands of entities efficiently
• Implementing data-oriented game systems
• Optimizing CPU-bound game logic
• Converting OOP game code to ECS
• Using Jobs and Burst for parallelization

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to unity ecs patterns
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
