This skill covers navigation mesh pathfinding and the AI patterns that use it. It does not cover custom A* implementations unless absolutely necessary — PathfindingService is the official, optimized solution.

When to use this skill

Activate when:

• Building zombies, guards, pets, companions, or any AI that walks/follows/patrols.
• Tuning agent size, jump/climb ability, or preferred terrain.
• Handling dynamic obstacles and blocked paths.
• Using PathfindingModifier regions/links for doors, traps, ladders, boats.
• Scaling pathfinding for many agents.
