## What it is
A Unity framework for implementing gameplay ability systems, inspired by Unreal's GAS, providing an attribute system, gameplay tags, and ability coordination. It is distributed as a Unity Package Manager package and includes a demo scene.

## Use cases
- implement abilities like spells and cooldowns in a Unity game
- manage character attributes such as health and mana with modifiers
- track character states with gameplay tags
- build RPG or MOBA-style combat systems in Unity
- coordinate buffs, costs, and cooldowns across game components

## When to choose
- you want an Unreal GAS-like ability system in Unity
- you need structured attribute and tag management for gameplay
- you prefer a lightweight MIT-licensed Unity package

## When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or community support
- you are on a Unity version far newer than 2021
- you want a battle-tested production alternative like Unity's official tooling

## Facets
