Unity Asset Management

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to inspect
• Edit Timeline tracks/clips/bindings
• Create materials
• Animation clips

Example prompts

• “/unity-asset-management”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(unity-cli:*), Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Run unity-cli system ping for the target project before mutations (use --project-path with multiple Editors). If it fails, follow…
2. 2Inspect the target asset with manage_asset_database using {"action":"get_asset_info","assetPath":"..."} before changing it.
3. 3Run analyze_asset_dependencies before deleting, moving, or changing shared assets.
4. 4Apply import or material changes with the narrowest possible payload.
5. 5Call refresh_assets after any out-of-editor file change.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f45d7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash(unity-cli:*)
  • Read
  • Grep
  • Glob

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Unity Asset Management loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 606 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~124

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Manage Unity assets and import metadata with unity-cli. Use when the user asks to inspect or edit Timeline tracks/clips/bindings, create materials, animation clips or sprite atlases, refresh assets, update imports, or analyze dependencies. Do not use for Addressables builds; use `unity-addressables`. For Player builds or scene baking, use `unity-editor-tools`. For scene object edits, use `unity-gameobject-edit`. For URP pipeline and Volume setup use `unity-urp-setup`.
