The current official maintenance baseline is Unity 2022.3+. Some Unity 2021 compatibility logic may still remain in the codebase, but future feature work, regression testing, and adaptation will focus on 2022.3+ / Unity 6.

🤝 Acknowledgments

This project is a deep refactoring and feature extension based on the excellent concept of unity-mcp.

🚀 Core Features

🛠️ 750 REST Skills Comprehensive Toolkit: Includes 51 functional source modules plus 19 advisory design modules, with Batch operations for multi-object control.
⚡ Revolutionary Efficiency Boost (v2.0.0+): Schema caching + exponential backoff polling + BATCH-FIRST guidance → Token consumption ↓ 96%, simple tasks 4-6 calls → 1 call (↓ 75-83%).
🔐 Three-Tier Permission Modes (v1.9.0+): Approval / Auto / Bypass with dual approval channels (Dialog / Panel), aligned with Claude Code permission modes; zero-impact upgrade for existing users.
🤖 4 Major IDEs Native Support: Claude Code / Antigravity / Codex / Cursor — one-click install and use.
🛡️ Transactional Atomicity: Failed operations auto-rollback, leaving scenes clean and safe.
🌍 Multi-Instance Simultaneous Control: Automatic port discovery and global registry for controlling multiple Unity projects at once.
🔗 Ultra-Stable Long Connections: Configurable request timeout (default 15 minutes), automatic recovery after Domain Reload, with retry hints during script compilation/asset updates.
🛡️ Anti-Hallucination Guardrails: Each Skill module includes DO NOT lists and routing rules to prevent calls to nonexistent commands or parameter errors.

UnitySkills ships with a true server-side permission system aligned with Claude Code permission modes. All mode switching happens in the Unity panel (Window > UnitySkills > Server) — chat trigger words are no longer supported.

Mode	Default	Behavior	Use Case
Approval	—	AI must request → user approves → execute (returns `MODE_RESTRICTED` + grant token)	Manual control, sensitive projects
Auto	New installs	AI runs FullAuto skills directly; server only blocks auto-detected high-risk ops (NeverInSemi)	Day-to-day development
Bypass	Existing installs (upgrade)	All skills run unrestricted; only `ConfirmationToken` gate remains for high-risk ops	Automation, CI, fast iteration

Two approval channels under Approval mode:

Dialog (default) — AI explains intent + grant token, user agrees in chat, AI replays the token via POST /permission/grant
Panel (opt-in) — grant token only takes effect after user clicks [Approve] in the Unity panel; AI-issued grants without panel approval return GRANT_PENDING_APPROVAL

Zero-impact upgrade for existing users: the plugin detects legacy UnitySkills_* EditorPrefs keys and keeps Bypass as the default, preserving the previous Full-Auto behavior with no action required. New installations default to Auto — FullAuto skills run directly, only NeverInSemi (Delete / MayEnterPlayMode / MayTriggerReload / high-risk) operations are blocked. Switch to Approval in the Server tab if you need per-skill manual gating.

❌ Chat trigger words (e.g. "full auto" / "semi-auto") are no longer recognized. Switch modes in Window > UnitySkills > Server.

📜 Audit log: Library/UnitySkillsAudit.jsonl (per-project, jsonl, auto-rolls at 1MB, keeps 3 files) records every grant / revoke / restricted hit / call. Open Window > UnitySkills > Audit Log to browse, filter, delete individual entries (✕), or wipe everything (🗑 Clear All) — deletions themselves are appended as audit_deleted / audit_cleared events so the log stays auditable.

🗑 The Skill Installer card shows a per-scope uninstall button that auto-adapts: disabled when nothing's installed, a single button labeled with its scope when only one is installed, and a dropdown (Uninstall ▾) listing Project / Global when both are installed.

19 advisory design modules (architecture, performance, design patterns, testability, package-specific source rules, etc.) are available in all modes and loaded on demand.

🏗️ Quick Install Supported IDE/Terminals

This project has been deeply optimized for the following environments to ensure a continuous and stable development experience (tools not listed below are not necessarily unsupported — they just lack a quick installer; use Custom Installation to the corresponding directory):

AI Terminal	Support Status	Special Features
Antigravity	✅ Supported	Open Agent Skills standard via `.agents/skills/` (workspace) and `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/` (global).
Claude Code	✅ Supported	Intelligent Skill intent recognition, supports complex multi-step automation.
Codex	✅ Supported	Supports `$skill` explicit invocation and implicit intent recognition. Shares `.agents/skills/` with Antigravity in workspace mode.
Cursor	✅ Supported	Auto-discovers `.cursor/skills/` and `.agents/skills/`; supports `/skill-name` explicit invocation; visible in Settings → Rules.

🏁 Quick Start

Overview: Install Unity Plugin → Start UnitySkills Server → AI Uses Skills

一键安装演示

1. Install Unity Plugin

Add via Unity Package Manager using Git URL:

Stable Version (main):

https://github.com/Besty0728/Unity-Skills.git?path=/SkillsForUnity

Beta Version (beta):

https://github.com/Besty0728/Unity-Skills.git?path=/SkillsForUnity#beta

Specific Version (e.g., v1.6.0):

https://github.com/Besty0728/Unity-Skills.git?path=/SkillsForUnity#v1.6.0

📦 All version packages are available on the Releases page

2. Start Server

In Unity, click menu: Window > UnitySkills > Start Server

⏳ script_*, debug_force_recompile, debug_set_defines, some asset reimports, and package changes may trigger compilation or Domain Reload. Temporary REST unavailability during that window is expected; wait a moment and retry.

3. One-Click AI Skills Configuration

Open Window > UnitySkills > Skill Installer.
Select the corresponding terminal icon (Claude / Antigravity / Codex / Cursor).
Click "Install" to complete the environment configuration without manual code copying.

The installer copies the unity-skills~/ template directory from the package to the target location.

Installer output files (generated in target directory):

SKILL.md

skills/

references/

scripts/unity_skills.py

scripts/agent_config.json (contains Agent identifier)

Codex Note: Antigravity and Codex share .agents/skills/ in workspace mode — installing once for either makes the skill available to both. Codex auto-discovers skills in .agents/skills/; no AGENTS.md declaration needed.

📘 For complete installation and usage instructions, see: Setup Guide | 安装指南

4. Manual Skills Installation (Optional)

If one-click installation is not supported or preferred, follow this standard procedure for manual deployment (applicable to all tools supporting Skills):

✅ Standard Installation Method A

Custom Installation: In the installation interface, select the "Custom Path" option to install Skills to any directory you specify (e.g., Assets/MyTools/AI) for easier project management.

✅ Standard Installation Method B

Locate Skills Source Directory: The SkillsForUnity/unity-skills~/ directory in the UPM package is the distributable Skills template (root directory contains SKILL.md).
Find the Tool's Skills Root Directory: Different tools have different paths; refer to the tool's documentation first.
Copy Completely: Copy the entire contents of unity-skills~/ to the tool's Skills root directory (rename to unity-skills/).
Create agent_config.json: Create an agent_config.json file in the unity-skills/scripts/ directory:
```
{"agentId": "your-agent-name", "installedAt": "2026-02-11T00:00:00Z"}
```
Replace your-agent-name with the name of your AI tool (e.g., claude-code, antigravity, codex, cursor).
Directory Structure Requirements: After copying, maintain the structure as follows (example):
- unity-skills/SKILL.md
- unity-skills/skills/
- unity-skills/references/
- unity-skills/scripts/unity_skills.py
- unity-skills/scripts/agent_config.json
Restart the Tool: Let the tool reload the Skills list.
Verify Loading: Trigger the Skills list/command in the tool (or execute a simple skill call) to confirm availability.

🔎 Common Tool Directory Reference

The following are verified default directories (if the tool has a custom path configured, use that instead):

Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
Antigravity: ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/ (global) or .agents/skills/ (workspace)
OpenAI Codex: ~/.agents/skills/ (global) or .agents/skills/ (workspace, shared with Antigravity)
Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/ (global) or .cursor/skills/ (workspace); also auto-discovers .agents/skills/

🧩 Other Tools Supporting Skills

If you're using other tools that support Skills, install according to the Skills root directory specified in that tool's documentation. As long as the standard installation specification is met (root directory contains SKILL.md and maintains skills/, references/, and scripts/ structure), it will be correctly recognized.
