About this asset

Pholus is like having a friendly neighborhood senior developer by your side during reviews.

It analyzes your C# scripts and highlights patterns that may impact performance, such as unnecessary allocations, expensive operations in hot paths, and other common pitfalls. But instead of treating every pattern as a mistake, Pholus explains why something could be a problem, when it's acceptable, and when it actually matters in real projects.

Each finding comes with a clear, plain-language explanation. When a fix makes sense, Pholus suggests a safe, minimal change you can review before applying. You see exactly what will change. Nothing is modified without your approval.

For extra confidence, Consensus Mode lets multiple analyzers review your code independently, then compares their findings to filter out false positives. Like getting a second opinion, but automated.

Rather than just fixing code, Pholus helps you understand tradeoffs and build better performance judgment over time. The goal isn't just cleaner code. It's stronger decision-making.

Runs entirely inside the Unity Editor. Fits naturally into your workflow. No runtime impact.
