What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Generate Unreal Engine 5 C++ class boilerplate following Epic coding standards. Creates Actors, Components, Subsystems, GameplayAbilities, AttributeSets, Widgets, and more with proper UPROPERTY/UFUNCTION macros, include hierarchy, and module API macros. Use whenever creating new UE5 C++ classes, scaffolding gameplay systems, generating header/source pairs, or setting up GAS classes. Also use when the user asks to "create a new Actor", "add a component", "scaffold a gameplay ability", or "make a UE5 class".

UE5 C++ Scaffold Skill

Generates production-quality UE5 C++ header/source file pairs following Epic's coding standard. Handles all the boilerplate — macros, includes, forward declarations, and module API exports.

How It Works

  1. Ask the user what class type they need
  2. Gather class name, parent class, and key properties/functions
  3. Generate the .h and .cpp files with full boilerplate
  4. Place files in the correct Source directory location

Generation Rules

  1. Replace MODULENAME with the actual module name in uppercase (e.g., MYPROJECT_API)
  2. File placement: Headers in Source/[Module]/Public/[Category]/, sources in Source/[Module]/Private/[Category]/
  3. Forward declarations over includes in headers — include only in .cpp
  4. Use TObjectPtr<> for all UObject pointer members
  5. Include [ClassName].generated.h as the LAST include in every header
  6. Match .cpp includes: Always include the matching header first, then engine headers
  7. Category organization: Group properties and functions by Category for editor display
