Ue Data Assets Tables
This handles Unreal Engine's data management layer: DataAssets, DataTables, soft references, and async loading patterns. You'll reach for it when setting up item databases, configuring abilities, or building data-driven systems that designers can edit without touching code. The skill covers the practical distinctions between UDataAsset and UPrimaryDataAsset, when to use DataTables for flat spreadsheet data versus typed assets for hierarchical config, and how to work with TSoftObjectPtr and StreamableManager to avoid bloating memory. It asks the right questions upfront about loading requirements and memory budget. The reference material includes Asset Manager integration and proper async loading patterns, which matters once your content scales beyond a few dozen items.

UE Data Assets and Tables
Target engine: UE 5.8. APIs below are verified against the 5.8 headers; older forms are listed under "Deprecated — do not use".
This skill covers designer-authored game data and the loading paths that bring it into memory: UDataAsset/UPrimaryDataAsset, UDataTable/UCurveTable, soft references, FStreamableManager, UAssetManager primary assets and cook rules, IAssetRegistry queries, the DataRegistry plugin and UDeveloperSettings. Build.cs modules: Engine and CoreUObject for data assets, tables and soft pointers; AssetRegistry for registry queries; DeveloperSettings for settings classes; DataRegistry for data registries. Deep dives live in asset loading patterns and data-driven design patterns.
Context
Read .agents/ue-project-context.md if it exists (module names, conventions, enabled plugins, custom UAssetManager subclass, registered primary asset types). Do not stop if it is missing.
Identify the area from the request and the codebase. Ask only when two plausible readings would produce different code.
