Add a new compute or surface shader for sensor data processing or visualization. Use when: implementing GPU-side sensor processing, adding a new visual effect, creating a ray tracing shader for a sensor.
Debug CLOiSim plugin startup, Started-event hangs, transport registration failures, BridgeManager port issues, request-handler failures, and teardown leaks. Use when: a plugin never starts, world/model load times out, ports are missing or duplicated, device transport stops flowing, request/reply handlers fail, or plugin destroy/reset behavior looks wrong.
Debug and fix a bug by starting from one concrete failure, forming a falsifiable local hypothesis, making the smallest grounded edit, and immediately running focused validation. Use when: debugging a failing test, regression, runtime error, compiler error, wrong behavior, or a review comment asking for a narrow fix.
Add or modify SDF actors with skeletal animation and waypoint-based navigation. Use when: importing animated characters, setting up trajectory waypoints, configuring NavMesh agents for actors, debugging animation playback, adding skinned mesh support, working with Assimp bone hierarchies.
Import 3D mesh files into CLOiSim via the Assimp pipeline, including collision generation and procedural meshes. Use when: adding a new mesh file format, debugging mesh import issues, generating convex hull colliders via VHACD, creating procedural geometry, fixing texture loading or UV mapping problems.
Configure Unity ArticulationBody joints from SDF joint definitions. Use when: adding a new joint type, debugging joint axis alignment, tuning spring/damping/limits, fixing revolute or prismatic joint behavior, setting up parent-child articulation hierarchy.
Understand and extend the CLOiSim world load → plugin start → reset → save lifecycle. Use when: debugging world loading failures, troubleshooting plugin startup coordination, fixing reset behavior, extending the world save pipeline, diagnosing physics mode switching issues, understanding PluginStartTracker events.
Create and configure URP materials from SDF material definitions or Assimp imports. Use when: setting up base color, emission, specular, or normal maps, switching transparency modes, debugging texture loading, converting materials to SpeedTree shader, customizing URP material properties.
