description	Use when working with BinarySerializer tools — binary serialization and deserialization utilities in F8Framework.

BinarySerializer Tools Workflow

Use this skill when

• The task involves binary serialization/deserialization of data.
• The user needs to save/load binary data formats efficiently.

Path resolution

1. Source: Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/BinarySerializer.cs (~3KB)
2. Extended: Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/BinarySerializer/

Sources of truth

• Source files: Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/BinarySerializer.cs and BinarySerializer/

Key capabilities

• Serialize C# objects to binary byte arrays
• Deserialize binary data back to C# objects
• High-performance binary format for config data
• Used by ExcelTool for binary config cache

Workflow

1. Use BinarySerializer class for serialization operations.
2. Serialize(object) → byte[]
3. Deserialize<T>(byte[]) → T
4. Primarily used internally by ExcelTool binary export.

Output checklist

• Serialization format selected (binary vs JSON).
• Serializable types validated.
• Binary data file path configured.
