SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps developers identify and fix design problems in Unity gameplay scripts so code becomes easier to maintain, test, and extend while avoiding hidden dependencies and lifecycle bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Responsibility checks: Ensures each script has a single clear job and suggests moving logic into plain C# classes where appropriate.
  • Role guidance: Advises whether a type should be a MonoBehaviour, ScriptableObject, or plain class to reduce coupling.
  • Coupling & communication: Detects hidden scene lookups, globals, and recommends direct references, interfaces, or event-based communication.
  • Performance & lifecycle: Flags unnecessary Update usage, repeated Find calls, allocation hotspots, and subscription cleanup issues.
  • Inspector UX & testability: Recommends serialized field practices, naming improvements, and strategies to make core logic unit-testable.

Quick Start

Review my PlayerController.cs and recommend refactors to reduce coupling, improve lifecycle management, and make core logic testable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce coupling in Unity C# scripts?

To reduce coupling in Unity C# scripts, analyze your gameplay code to identify hidden scene lookups and globals, then replace them with direct references, interfaces, or event-based communication. This ensures scripts have single clear responsibilities and easier maintenance.

When should I use MonoBehaviour vs plain C# classes for gameplay logic?

Use MonoBehaviour for components needing Unity lifecycle hooks, but move core gameplay logic into plain C# classes to improve testability. Analyzing your scripts helps determine the correct role for each type, reducing unnecessary coupling to the engine.

How do I fix performance hotspots and lifecycle bugs in Unity scripts?

Fix Unity script performance hotspots and lifecycle bugs by flagging unnecessary Update usage, repeated Find calls, and subscription cleanup issues. Analyzing gameplay code identifies these allocation hotspots and provides concrete refactors without changing runtime behavior.

What is the best way to make Unity gameplay logic unit-testable?

The best way to make Unity gameplay logic unit-testable is to extract core logic from MonoBehaviour into plain C# classes. Reviewing scripts helps identify responsibility issues and recommends serialized field practices to isolate dependencies for testing.

Can I refactor Unity ScriptableObject interactions to improve maintainability?

Yes, you can refactor ScriptableObject interactions to improve maintainability by analyzing role guidance. This ensures ScriptableObjects are used correctly for data sharing rather than gameplay logic, reducing hidden dependencies and improving inspector UX.
