asynchronous-programming

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps Unity developers avoid freezing the main thread by providing patterns and utilities for non-blocking scene loads, asset loading, network requests, and file I/O operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Coroutines, async/await, and UniTask: guidance on when to use each approach and trade-offs for allocations and main-thread safety.
• Cancellation and lifecycle safety: CancellationToken patterns, DestroyCancellationToken in AsyncMonoBehaviour, and safe RunAsync helpers to prevent leaked tasks.
• Utilities and templates: ready-made AsyncLoader, AsyncMonoBehaviour, AsyncOperation, CoroutineToTask utilities and a generator script to scaffold components.
• Use Cases: sequential and parallel asset loading, scene loading with progress reporting, network requests with timeouts, bridging legacy coroutines to awaitable Tasks or UniTask.

Quick Start

Use the asynchronous-programming skill to implement an awaitable scene load with progress reporting and cancellation in your Unity project.
