Before calling any skill in this module: if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via
GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.

PrimeTween - Design Rules
Advisory module. Rules are grounded in the PrimeTween 1.4.6 package installed through com.kyrylokuzyk.primetween.
Mode: Documentation only — no REST skills to gate; load freely under any operating mode.
When to Load This Module
Load before writing or reviewing:
Tween.Position,LocalPosition,EulerAngles,LocalEulerAngles,Scale,Alpha,Color,Custom, delay, or shake calls.Sequence.Create,Chain,Group,Insert, callbacks, or sequence cycles.Tween.Stop,Complete,StopAll,CompleteAll,PausedAll, progress, time scale, or manual update control.OnComplete,OnUpdate, zero-allocation callback overloads, or target-destruction handling.await tween,ToYieldInstruction, serializedTweenSettings,PrimeTweenConfig, or capacity tuning.
Critical Rule Summary
| # | Rule | Source anchor |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | PrimeTween uses static Tween factories. Its Tween handle is a struct, and a completed or stopped handle is dead and non-reusable; create a new tween to replay or reverse an animation. | Runtime/Tween.cs:53,256-264; readme.md “Controlling tweens” |
| 2 | Use Sequence.Chain for sequential work, Group for parallel work against the previous item, and Insert for absolute-time overlap. This naming differs from DOTween’s Append/Join vocabulary. | Runtime/Sequence.cs:154,193,202 |
| 3 | A Sequence has its own cycles, cycle mode, easing, update type, and unscaled-time settings at creation. Configure those on Sequence.Create, not through DOTween-style fluent setters. | Runtime/Sequence.cs:108 |
| 4 | Callbacks can bind a target explicitly with OnComplete<T> or sequence callback overloads. That avoids a capturing closure and lets PrimeTween suppress the callback if its target is destroyed. | Runtime/Tween.cs:365-382; Runtime/Sequence.cs:228-281 |
| 5 | PrimeTween detects destroyed Unity targets and exposes targeted warnings through PrimeTweenConfig. Do not assume a DOTween SetLink API exists; own a handle and stop it when your component is disabled when that is the intended lifecycle. | Runtime/Internal/PrimeTweenManager.cs:870-880; Runtime/PrimeTweenConfig.cs:56-87 |
| 6 | await tween and ToYieldInstruction() are supported, but both async state machines and coroutines allocate. For allocation-sensitive animation flows, prefer Sequence. | Runtime/Internal/AsyncAwaitSupport.cs; Runtime/Internal/CoroutinesSupport.cs; readme.md “Async/await” |
| 7 | TweenSettings and TweenSettings<T> are serializable configuration carriers for Inspector-authored tween values; use them instead of inventing a separate animation settings component. | Runtime/TweenSettings.cs:25-54; readme.md “Inspector integration” |
| 8 | PrimeTweenConfig is static runtime configuration. It has capacity, default ease/update type, warning controls, and manual-update APIs, but it is not a Resources settings asset. | Runtime/PrimeTweenConfig.cs:25-101 |
Routing to Other Modules
- Async control flow or cancellation policy → load async and unitask-design.
- Inspector-authored
TweenSettingsfields → load inspector. - Tween-heavy performance analysis → load performance.
- Addressables-loaded targets or scene lifetime → load addressables-design.
Version Scope
This module targets PrimeTween 1.4.6. Its UPM package supports Unity 2018.4+, but Unity Skills itself maintains a Unity 2022.3+ baseline. Check the installed package version before relying on a newer factory overload or PrimeTween Pro feature.
