Write game shaders from cross-engine fundamentals — the vertex→fragment pipeline, coordinate spaces, UV math, and common 2D/3D effects (tint, UV scroll, dissolve, outline, fresnel rim, vignette) in GLSL with HLSL equivalents. Use when the user mentions shaders, fragment/pixel shader, vertex shader, UV, GLSL, HLSL, or effects like dissolve, outline, or rim light.

Build respawn-safe Roblox character systems around Players, CharacterAdded/CharacterRemoving, Humanoid, HumanoidRootPart, Animator, R6/R15 rigs, movement, animations and markers, death, tools, accessories, ownership, and custom characters. Use when character scripts break after respawn, cache stale Humanoids, control movement or velocity, load AnimationTracks, handle death, equip Tools, modify avatars, or support custom player rigs.

Persist player data in Roblox with DataStoreService: GetDataStore, GetAsync/ SetAsync/UpdateAsync/IncrementAsync wrapped in pcall, load-on-join and save-on-leave plus BindToClose, retries, and OrderedDataStore leaderboards. Use when saving or loading persistent data in a Roblox experience — when the user mentions DataStore, DataStoreService, GetAsync, SetAsync, UpdateAsync, save player data, or leaderboards. For general Luau scripting use roblox-luau.

Design and harden Roblox client/server networking with RemoteEvent, RemoteFunction, and UnreliableRemoteEvent; server authority, argument and Instance validation, rate limits, proximity/ownership checks, targeted replication, streaming, lifecycle, prediction, and reconciliation. Use for Roblox remotes, exploits, request spam, multiplayer replication, network ownership, high-frequency cosmetic updates, or server/client desynchronization.

Stand up a three.js scene: import maps and the three/addons path, the Scene/PerspectiveCamera/WebGLRenderer trio, the setAnimationLoop render loop, responsive resize, and OrbitControls. Use when starting or debugging a three.js app — when the user mentions three.js, THREE.Scene, WebGLRenderer, PerspectiveCamera, the render loop, resizing, or OrbitControls. For models use threejs-gltf-loading; for materials/lights use threejs-materials-lighting.

Load glTF/GLB models in three.js with GLTFLoader and play their skinned animations with AnimationMixer, including DRACO/Meshopt-compressed meshes and KTX2 textures. Use when importing 3D models into three.js — when the user mentions glTF, GLB, GLTFLoader, AnimationMixer, animation clips, DRACOLoader, or "load a 3D model". For scene/camera/renderer setup use threejs-scene-setup; for materials and lights use threejs-materials-lighting.

Use Phaser 4 Arcade Physics: enable the world, give sprites bodies, set velocity/acceleration/gravity, and resolve collisions with colliders, overlaps, groups, and world bounds. Use when a Phaser game needs movement or collisions — when the user mentions Arcade Physics, this.physics, setVelocity, collider, overlap, gravity, onFloor, or a platformer/top-down controller. For game config, scenes, and the loader use phaser-core.

Modify living Roblox Studio projects safely: inspect Explorer and execution locations, preserve existing structure, reuse modules/remotes, create meaningful Instances, apply Attributes and CollectionService tags, test server/client and multiple devices, inspect Output, and remove experiments/debug objects. Use when an agent edits a place or rbxl/rbxlx/Rojo project, operates in Studio, adds Scripts/LocalScripts/ModuleScripts, or must verify a Roblox change in context.

Light and shade a three.js scene: choose materials (MeshStandardMaterial PBR vs unlit MeshBasicMaterial), add ambient/hemisphere/directional/point/spot lights, turn on shadow maps, and use an environment map (IBL) for realistic reflections. Use when a three.js model looks black, flat, or wrong — when the user mentions three.js materials, MeshStandardMaterial, lights, shadows, envMap, or PBR. For renderer/loop setup use threejs-scene-setup; for loading models use threejs-gltf-loading.

Build a production behavior-tree runtime (Blackboard, action/condition leaves, sequence/selector/parallel composites, decorators) and a Utility AI system (response curves — linear, exponential, sigmoid, quadratic — considerations, and action evaluators), plus hybrid BT-drives-Utility agents. Use when implementing a reusable behavior-tree or utility-based decision system, or tuning enemy/NPC decisions beyond a simple FSM, or when the user mentions behavior tree, blackboard, decorator, selector, sequence, tick status, utility AI, response/scoring curve, or consideration. For choosing between FSM/BT/steering or for pathfinding, use game-ai; for Unreal's BehaviorTree/Blackboard assets, use unreal-behavior-trees.
