Implements registry-based patterns and capability composition to create extensible, type-safe entity systems.
The Data-Oriented Architecture skill provides Claude with advanced patterns for designing systems where behavior is separated from data. By replacing scattered switch statements and rigid inheritance hierarchies with centralized registries and optional capability configurations, it solves the 'expression problem.' This approach allows developers to add new entity types and operations without modifying existing consumer code, making it an essential strategy for building scalable plugin systems, game engines, and complex domain-driven applications.
