presentation-event-pipeline-contract

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of integrating visual and auditory feedback (VFX/SFX/UI) into game logic without compromising the deterministic nature of the core simulation, preventing bugs where presentation-side effects cause state inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Separation of Concerns: Clearly distinguishes between authoritative game state changes and non-authoritative presentation events.
• Deterministic Ordering: Ensures that presentation events are emitted and processed in a predictable, consistent order across all clients and game instances.
• Use Case: In a multiplayer game, when a player performs an action that affects game state (e.g., firing a weapon), this Skill ensures the state change is processed first, and then the corresponding visual effects and sound cues are triggered deterministically, preventing desynchronization issues.

Quick Start

Use the presentation-event-pipeline-contract skill to define authoritative mutation boundaries for simulation actions.
