What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of making a single shared managed Unity/ECS object accessible to many systems without passing references through constructors or maintaining fragile global state.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Managed Singleton Bootstrap: Create exactly one singleton entity at world initialization by attaching a managed component once, then disabling the bootstrap system.
• System-Wide Retrieval (Non-Burst): Read the managed singleton from any non-Burst system using the ManagedAPI lookup pattern.
• Safety Guardrails: Avoid common ECS pitfalls like missing singleton guards, using static fields, and accessing managed singletons from Burst contexts.

Use case example: Store a ScriptableObject-based game configuration asset as a managed singleton so gameplay systems can read shared tuning values (e.g., max enemies, spawn rates) without wiring references everywhere.

Quick Start

Tell your AI to implement a one-time bootstrap system that creates a singleton entity with a managed component, then retrieve that configuration from other non-Burst systems using the ECS ManagedAPI.
