Can it handle optional or nullable GUIDs?

Yes, it provides specific code patterns to check for Guid.Empty or null values before running validation logic, ensuring that optional fields are handled correctly.

Why do I need manual validation if I use a SourceGenerator?

The Moorestech SourceGenerator defines the data structure but does not automatically generate the logic to verify that foreign keys point to existing objects. Manual C# validation is required to prevent InvalidOperationException at runtime.

How does it help with nested references?

The skill specifically flags 'ref' keys, switch/case blocks, and array items where foreign keys might be nested, ensuring these deeper structures aren't overlooked during implementation.

Which schema files does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of game data including blocks.yml, items.yml, fluids.yml, craftRecipes.yml, research.yml, and several others mapped to the Core.Master/Validator directory.

Game Development

Ensures game data integrity by validating foreign key references between YAML schemas and C# validator implementations.

Moorestech Schema Validator is a specialized skill designed for the Moorestech game development environment to prevent runtime crashes caused by invalid data references. Since the project's SourceGenerator does not automatically create validation logic from foreignKey definitions, this skill guides developers through the manual implementation of C# validation. It maps specific YAML schema files to their corresponding C# validator classes, provides code patterns for various data types (including arrays, optional fields, and nested references), and performs audits to ensure that every cross-reference in the game's master data is properly verified at load time.

Key Features

01Provides implementation patterns for ItemGuid, FluidGuid, and BlockGuid validation

02Maps YAML schema files (blocks, items, fluids) to specific C# Validator classes

03Includes audit commands to count and compare schema definitions against validator code

04Guides handling of optional and nullable Guid types to prevent false validation errors

06Detects hidden foreignKey requirements in nested ref, array, and switch/case structures

Use Cases

01Verifying master data integrity before committing changes to the game engine

02Refactoring existing YAML schemas that involve complex cross-references

03Adding new master data properties with foreignKey constraints to game schemas
