description: Intent-based architecture patterns for the snow_trail_sdl game engine. Load when adding cross-system communication, new systems to the main loop, changing game mode logic (editor/dialog/gameplay), or working with camera, input, or mode-switching. Systems communicate through typed intent queues — no direct cross-system function calls.

# Intent-Based Architecture Skill
|
|
|
|
Read the architecture document at `docs/intent-based-architecture.md` (resolve relative to the project root `/home/jonas/projects/snow_trail_sdl/`) and follow its patterns when:
|
|
|
|
- Adding cross-system communication (use intents, not direct function calls)
|
|
- Adding new systems to the main loop
|
|
- Changing how game modes work (editor, dialog, gameplay)
|
|
- Working with camera, input, or mode-switching logic
|
|
|
|
Key rule: **systems communicate through typed intent data in shared queues** — producers insert intents, consumers process and remove them. No system calls another system's functions directly.
