How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

Open your project in Codex.
Copy and paste the prompt below.
Review files and risks before approving any action.

Prompt to paste

Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/TippingGame/F8Framework/blob/HEAD/Tests/AISkills/f8framework-skills/tools/f8-tools-text-json-xml-workflow/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/f8-tools-text-json-xml-workflow, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Text/JSON/XML Tools Workflow

Use this skill when

The task involves JSON serialization/deserialization, XML parsing, or text processing.
The user needs LitJson enhanced features or string manipulation.

Path resolution

Source files:
- Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/Text.cs (~10KB)
- Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/LitJson.cs (~4KB)
- Assets/F8Framework/Runtime/Utility/Xml.cs (~4KB)

Sources of truth

Source files: Text.cs, LitJson.cs, Xml.cs in Runtime/Utility

Key capabilities

Text (Text.cs)

String formatting and manipulation
Encoding conversion
Text matching and searching
String builder utilities

LitJson (LitJson.cs)

JSON serialization/deserialization (enhanced LitJson)
Supports Unity types: Vector2/3/4, Quaternion, Color, Color32, Transform, GameObject, Bounds, Rect, Matrix4x4, etc.
Dictionary key supports all basic and enum types
HashSet support
DateTime precision fix
Long type fix

XML (Xml.cs)

XML reading and writing
XML node navigation
Attribute access

Workflow

For JSON: use JsonMapper.ToJson(obj) / JsonMapper.ToObject<T>(jsonString).
LitJson automatically handles Unity types — no special configuration.
For XML: use Xml class methods for reading/writing.
For text: use Text class utility methods.

Common error handling

Error	Cause	Solution
JSON serialization fails	Unsupported type	Check LitJson type support list
DateTime precision loss	Default DateTime handling	Already fixed in F8's LitJson

Output checklist

Serialization method selected (JSON/XML/binary).
Unity type support verified for JSON.
Text processing patterns identified.
