- 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.
When to Use This Skill
- 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
Core Concepts
1. ECS vs OOP
| Aspect | Traditional OOP | ECS/DOTS | | ----------- | ----------------- | --------------- | | Data layout | Object-oriented | Data-oriented | | Memory | Scattered | Contiguous | | Processing | Per-object | Batched | | Scaling | Poor with count | Linear scaling | | Best for | Complex behaviors | Mass simulation |
2. DOTS Components
Entity: Lightweight ID (no data)
Component: Pure data (no behavior)
System: Logic that processes components
World: Container for entities
Archetype: Unique combination of components
Chunk: Memory block for same-archetype entities
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
Do's
- Use ISystem over SystemBase - Better performance
- Burst compile everything - Massive speedup
- Batch structural changes - Use ECB
- Profile with Profiler - Identify bottlenecks
- Use Aspects - Clean component grouping
Don'ts
- Don't use managed types - Breaks Burst
- Don't structural change in jobs - Use ECB
- Don't over-architect - Start simple
- Don't ignore chunk utilization - Group similar entities
- Don't forget disposal - Native collections leak

Python design patterns including KISS, Separation of Concerns, Single Responsibility, and composition over inheritance. Use this skill when designing a new service or component from scratch and choosing how to layer responsibilities, when refactoring a God class or monolithic function that has grown too large, when deciding whether to add a new abstraction or live with duplication, when evaluating a pull request for structural issues like tight coupling or leaking internal types, when choosing between inheritance and composition for a new class hierarchy, or when a codebase is becoming hard to test because of entangled I/O and business logic.
