About rust-data-driven-game-content

A skill for moving game content from Rust code into validated data files. It guides schema design, loading, spawning, and validation so content and behavior changes stay distinct.

Key features

  1. 01Identify repeated hard-coded spawn data
  2. 02Design Serde-friendly schemas
  3. 03Load data with clear errors
  4. 04Convert templates into component bundles
  5. 05Validate fields, effects, levels, and spawn tables
  6. 06Separate balance data from Rust behavior

Use cases

  1. 01Externalizing repeated spawn definitions
  2. 02Adding validation to game content files
  3. 03Adjusting game balance without changing systems

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

From the project README

Rust Data Driven Game Content

Use this skill to move game content out of Rust code and into validated data files. Keep schemas small, explicit, and aligned with components the game can actually spawn.

Core Workflow

  1. Identify repeated hard-coded spawn data.
  2. Design a Serde-friendly schema for entities, effects, spawn levels, and weights.
  3. Load data at startup or level generation with clear errors.
  4. Convert templates into component bundles through one spawn boundary.
  5. Add validation for missing fields, impossible levels, invalid effects, and empty spawn tables.
  6. Keep balance changes in data and behavior changes in Rust systems.

Source Notes

Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Hands-On Rust Chapters 13, 14, and 15 and from the official companion source repository. Current crate context was checked against Serde and RON docs. Verify the target project's chosen data format and dependency versions before editing.
