Use when writing Unreal Engine C++ code involving UPROPERTY, UFUNCTION, UCLASS, TArray, TMap, delegates, FString, garbage collection, or smart pointers. Also use when the user asks about "UE C++", USTRUCT, UENUM, FName, FText, TObjectPtr, TWeakObjectPtr, UObject lifetime, UE_LOG, or UE subsystems. For module build configuration, see ue-module-build-system. For Actor/Component architecture, see ue-actor-component-architecture.

Use when working with DataAsset, DataTable, soft reference, hard reference, TSoftObjectPtr, async loading, Asset Manager, StreamableManager, or game data structures in Unreal Engine. See references/asset-loading-patterns.md for async loading and StreamableManager patterns. See references/data-driven-design.md for data-driven gameplay architecture. For serialization, see ue-serialization-savegames. For C++ foundations, see ue-cpp-foundations.

Use when extending the Unreal Editor with editor tool, editor utility widget, Blutility, detail customization, property customization, editor mode, asset editor, editor subsystem, editor extension, UToolMenus, or scripted asset operations. For Slate fundamentals, see ue-ui-umg-slate. For module build config, see ue-module-build-system.

Use this skill when working with Game Feature plugins, modular gameplay, GameFeatureAction, GameFeatureData, GameFrameworkComponentManager, init state system, experience system, modular components, UPawnComponent, UControllerComponent, UGameStateComponent, UPlayerStateComponent, or Lyra-style modular architecture. See references/ for code templates and experience system patterns.

Use this skill when working with GAS, Gameplay Ability System, GameplayAbility, GameplayEffect, AttributeSet, GameplayTags, ability system, buffs, debuffs, cooldowns, or attribute modification. See references/ for detailed setup patterns, effect configuration, and ability task usage.

Use this skill when working with Unreal Engine's gameplay framework classes: GameMode, GameState, PlayerController, PlayerState, Pawn, Character, or GameInstance. Also use when the user mentions 'gameplay framework', 'game rules', 'player management', 'match flow', or 'player spawning'. See references/framework-class-map.md for the full authority/presence matrix. For networking/replication, see ue-networking-replication. For input setup, see ue-input-system.

Use this skill when working with Mass Entity, MassEntity, Mass AI, MassProcessor, MassFragment, MassTag, MassObserver, MassSpawner, MassCrowd, Mass ECS, entity archetype, ForEachEntityChunk, FMassEntityQuery, FMassEntityManager, ISM crowd, or large-scale entity simulation in Unreal Engine. See references/mass-entity-patterns.md for processor and observer templates. See references/mass-fragment-reference.md for built-in fragment types.

Use when the user is working with material, shader, MID, dynamic material, material instance, post-process, render target, parameter collection, decal, Nanite, Lumen, or rendering in Unreal Engine. See references/material-parameter-reference.md for parameter patterns and references/post-process-settings.md for post-process settings. For particle rendering, see ue-niagara-effects.

Use this skill when working on multiplayer networking, replication, RPC calls, net role logic, server/client authority, prediction, or synchronizing game state. Also use when the user mentions 'DOREPLIFETIME', 'dedicated server', 'replicated', or 'net role'. See references/replication-patterns.md for common patterns and references/rpc-decision-guide.md for RPC type selection. For GAS networking, see ue-gameplay-abilities.

Use this skill when working with Niagara particle systems, VFX, effects, emitter, Niagara component, or Niagara parameter in Unreal Engine C++. Covers spawning systems, setting parameters, data interfaces (SkeletalMesh, StaticMesh, Curve, Array), OnSystemFinished delegate, and performance tuning. See references/niagara-parameter-types.md for type mapping and references/niagara-data-interfaces.md for data interface catalogue. For particle materials, see ue-materials-rendering.

Use when implementing collision detection, trace queries, physics simulation, or physical interactions in Unreal Engine. Triggers on: 'collision', 'trace', 'LineTrace', 'line trace', 'overlap', 'physics', 'hit result', 'sweep', 'collision channel', 'physics body', 'Chaos', 'raytrace', 'OnHit', 'OnBeginOverlap'. See related skills for component architecture and AI navigation.

Use this skill when working with procedural generation in Unreal Engine: PCG framework, ProceduralMesh, instanced mesh, HISM, spline, runtime mesh, noise, terrain generation, or dungeon generation. See references/pcg-node-reference.md for PCG node types and references/procedural-mesh-patterns.md for mesh generation patterns. For physics on procedural geometry, see ue-physics-collision.

When the user wants to create or update their Unreal Engine project context document. Use when the user says 'project context,' 'set up context,' 'UE context,' 'configure project,' or wants to avoid repeating their project setup across UE development tasks. Creates `.agents/ue-project-context.md` that all other UE skills reference. See related skills footer for skills that depend on this context.

Use this skill when working with Sequencer, LevelSequence, cutscene, cinematic, camera, movie scene, sequencer event, or Movie Render Queue in Unreal Engine. See references/sequencer-patterns.md for dialogue cutscene, in-game camera, and scripted event patterns. For animation playback, see ue-animation-system.
