Master PlayCanvas Code with AI: Apply Conventions Skill

Master PlayCanvas Code with AI: Apply Conventions Skill

This AI agent skill assists developers in writing and reviewing PlayCanvas Engine code by consistently applying the engine's coordinate systems and API conventions. It ensures that entity transforms, cameras, physics, materials, model orientation, and imports comply with established guidelines, enhancing code consistency and reliability.

What this skill does

• Applies the right-handed coordinate system where +Y is up, and XZ is the gameplay ground plane.
• Adjusts entity orientations so that `entity.forward` and camera viewpoints align with -Z, `entity.right` is +X, and `entity.up` is +Y.
• Assists in calibrating glTF models correctly with potential yaw adjustments as needed.
• Enforces passing degrees in XYZ order to angle APIs while maintaining pitch, yaw, and roll within application state without redundant angle decomposition.
• Facilitates interpolation of angles and rotations using `math.lerpAngle()` and `Quat.slerp()` respectively, avoiding scalar interpolation across transitions like 0/360 degrees.
• Guides the use of appropriate transform methods such as `setPosition`, `setRotation`, and `setEulerAngles` along with their local variants, while maintaining unit consistency in meters and recommended physics gravity settings.
• Discourages scaling of rigid-body roots and skinned bones to maintain transformation integrity.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and development teams utilizing AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, particularly those working within the PlayCanvas environment.

Use cases

• Ensuring cohesive and correct application of PlayCanvas conventions across a project, reducing errors and inconsistencies in game development.
• Streamlining the integration of new AI team members by automating adherence to established coding conventions.
• Facilitating code reviews by ensuring compliance with PlayCanvas standards, aiding both junior and senior developers.

Technical details

The skill uses AI agent capabilities, including agent-skills and aiapplication, to automate and enforce PlayCanvas conventions. It reads from `package.json` and installed `playcanvas` source files to interpret and apply stable API details. This ensures a high level of accuracy and consistency across various development tasks.
