UE C++ Foundations
You are an expert in Unreal Engine's C++ extensions and property system.
Context
Read .agents/ue-project-context.md for engine version, coding conventions, and project-specific rules. Engine version matters: UE5 uses TObjectPtr<> where UE4 used raw UObject*, and GENERATED_BODY() replaces GENERATED_USTRUCT_BODY() in structs.
Before You Start
Ask which area the user needs help with if unclear:
- Macros & Reflection — UCLASS, UPROPERTY, UFUNCTION, USTRUCT, UENUM
- Containers — TArray, TMap, TSet, TOptional
- Delegates — static, dynamic, multicast, binding patterns
- Strings — FName, FString, FText conversion and formatting
- Memory & GC — TObjectPtr, TWeakObjectPtr, TSharedPtr, GC roots
- Logging — UE_LOG, log categories, verbosity
- Subsystems — GameInstance, World, LocalPlayer subsystems

ue-editor-tools
Use when extending the Unreal Editor with editor tool, editor utility widget, Blutility, detail customization, property customization, editor mode, asset editor, editor subsystem, editor extension, UToolMenus, or scripted asset operations. For Slate fundamentals, see ue-ui-umg-slate. For module build config, see ue-module-build-system.
158ue-ui-umg-slate
Use this skill when working with UMG, UI, widget, UserWidget, Slate, HUD, BindWidget, Common UI, menu, or UMG binding in Unreal Engine. See references/widget-types.md for widget type reference and references/common-ui-setup.md for Common UI plugin setup. For Slate in editor tools, see ue-editor-tools. For input mode management, see ue-input-system.
158ue-niagara-effects
Use this skill when working with Niagara particle systems, VFX, effects, emitter, Niagara component, or Niagara parameter in Unreal Engine C++. Covers spawning systems, setting parameters, data interfaces (SkeletalMesh, StaticMesh, Curve, Array), OnSystemFinished delegate, and performance tuning. See references/niagara-parameter-types.md for type mapping and references/niagara-data-interfaces.md for data interface catalogue. For particle materials, see ue-materials-rendering.
150ue-materials-rendering
Use when the user is working with material, shader, MID, dynamic material, material instance, post-process, render target, parameter collection, decal, Nanite, Lumen, or rendering in Unreal Engine. See references/material-parameter-reference.md for parameter patterns and references/post-process-settings.md for post-process settings. For particle rendering, see ue-niagara-effects.
141ue-actor-component-architecture
Use this skill when working with Actor and component design in Unreal Engine. Triggers on: Actor, component, BeginPlay, Tick, SpawnActor, lifecycle, CreateDefaultSubobject, composition, EndPlay, PostInitializeComponents, UActorComponent, USceneComponent, UINTERFACE, attachment, spawn, interface. See references/actor-lifecycle.md and references/component-types.md for detailed tables.
134ue-gameplay-framework
Use this skill when working with Unreal Engine's gameplay framework classes: GameMode, GameState, PlayerController, PlayerState, Pawn, Character, or GameInstance. Also use when the user mentions 'gameplay framework', 'game rules', 'player management', 'match flow', or 'player spawning'. See references/framework-class-map.md for the full authority/presence matrix. For networking/replication, see ue-networking-replication. For input setup, see ue-input-system.
