data-tool

What problem does it solve?

It helps Unity DOTS teams turn opaque ECS and authoring data into actionable diagnostics by building editor tooling, validators, inspectors, and debugging utilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Editor tooling for data workflows: create inspectors, validator tools, and editor windows that support scalable content workflows.
• ECS inspection and debugging: surface authoring components, baker output, buffers, and serialized state in readable developer-facing forms.
• Data pipeline guardrails: design import/export, preprocessing, and validation flows that prevent invalid content from reaching the DOTS runtime.
• Observability-focused diagnostics: improve visibility without runtime hot-path pollution and with explicit performance/activation boundaries.

Quick Start

Use the data-tool skill to design an ECS inspector for a specific component by first delegating codebase inspection to confirm which runtime fields and ECS state exist.
