## What it does

The skill covers picking between `RemoteEvent`, `RemoteFunction` and `UnreliableRemoteEvent`, with a table of direction and whether a value comes back. Its advice: default to `RemoteEvent`, and skip server-to-client `RemoteFunction` calls, because a frozen callback on an exploiter's client stalls your server thread.

Then come the patterns. Remotes live in `ReplicatedStorage` and get created by a server `Script` before any `LocalScript` runs. You get templates for `FireServer`, `FireClient`, `FireAllClients`, `InvokeServer`, plus high-frequency syncing with `UnreliableRemoteEvent`. A mistakes table catches the usual slips: `OnServerEvent` inside a `LocalScript`, remotes parked in `ServerStorage`, a missing `WaitForChild`, several `OnServerInvoke` assignments where only the last one wins.

Security is the part that matters. The client is treated as hostile, so every argument gets checked on the server: per-player cooldown, type checks, a clamp on the value, and target and weapon resolved from server state. The exploit table names argument injection, remote spam, spoofed targets, replayed actions and damage amplification. If odd damage numbers or duplicated items have shown up in your game, start there.

## When to use it
- choose between RemoteEvent, RemoteFunction and UnreliableRemoteEvent
- create a Remotes folder in ReplicatedStorage from a server Script
- type-check arguments inside OnServerEvent
- rate-limit a single player's remote calls
- block spoofed targets and amplified damage

## Example prompts
- Set up a RemoteEvent for dealing damage to a target in Roblox
- Review my OnServerEvent for holes an exploiter could use
- Sync character position with UnreliableRemoteEvent
