What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents native memory leaks when a managed IComponentData instance owns unmanaged or native resources that must be explicitly released before the component is removed or its entity is destroyed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Safe native resource cleanup: Ensures NativeArray/NativeList and other IDisposable native holders are disposed at the correct lifecycle boundary (component removal or entity destruction).
• Correct ECS cleanup flow: Provides a canonical approach using a PendingDestroy tag and a cleanup system that calls Dispose and then destroys the entity via an ECB.
• Anti-pattern guidance: Avoids relying on GC for IDisposable, avoids missing explicit Dispose calls, and warns against calling Dispose inside jobs.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate a NativeDataComponent cleanup plan using an ECS PendingDestroy tag and a cleanup SystemBase that disposes the component’s native resources before destroying the entity.
