About this skill

Unity Performance is a skill in Besty0728/Unity-Skills (1.8k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec8aa7c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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 csharp).

    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 Performance loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Advise on Unity performance red flags

Before calling any skill in this module: if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.

Triggers

  • Reviewing performance
  • Diagnosing frame drops
  • Reducing allocations
  • Planning pooling/optimization
  • 做性能审查、诊断掉帧或卡顿、减少内存分配、规划对象池/优化

Unity Performance Red Flags

Use this skill for a high-signal review of likely Unity performance issues. Focus on red flags, not speculative micro-optimizations.

Check For

  • Too many unrelated Update / LateUpdate / FixedUpdate loops
  • Repeated Find, GetComponent, Camera.main, or tag lookups in hot paths
  • Frequent Instantiate / Destroy suitable for pooling
  • Avoidable per-frame allocations:
    • LINQ
    • string formatting
    • closures
    • boxing
  • Reflection in runtime hot paths
  • Expensive editor-only helpers leaking into runtime code
  • Physics, animation, or UI updates happening at the wrong cadence

Hidden Costs: Possibility ≠ Actuality

Three counter-intuitive traps where what seems "free" is actually expensive. Each cost is paid for possibility of work, not for work actually performed — which is why profilers rarely catch them directly.

Write permission costs, even without writing

A component whose Update can mutate transform.position pays the cost whether the branch runs or not: dirty-flag and serialization systems treat write permission as a reason to poll every frame. Similarly, a [SerializeField] field that is never modified at runtime still sits on the serialization path. The fix is to remove the permission, not tighten the branch — split the rarely-needed writer into its own component and AddComponent only when needed. Source: NetcodeSamples/HelloNetcode/2_Intermediate/07_Optimization/Optimization.md — "a system with the possibility of writing to a component, regardless of whether it writes to it or not, will always have to be serialized".

Sequential seeds produce correlated random streams

Seeding N RNG instances with baseSeed + i gives N similar streams — patrol paths line up, spawn jitter clumps, loot rolls cluster. Hash the index before seeding:

csharp
// Wrong — N correlated streams
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) rngs[i] = new System.Random(baseSeed + i);

// Correct — hash decorrelates adjacent seeds
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    rngs[i] = new System.Random((int)((uint)baseSeed * 2654435761u ^ (uint)i));

Unity.Mathematics.Random.CreateFromIndex(i) applies this internally and is preferred when the math package is available. Source: Dots101/Entities101/Assets/HelloCube/3. Prefabs/SpawnSystem.cs:37-39 and its comment.

Logging fires in release builds by default

Debug.Log is not stripped in Player builds; only methods marked [Conditional("UNITY_EDITOR")] (such as Debug.DrawLine) have their arguments elided at the call site. That means a log line with interpolation or helper calls runs every frame in shipped games:

csharp
// Wrong — GetPlayerInfo() and string interpolation execute in release
Debug.Log($"Player {GetPlayerInfo()} at {Time.time}");

// Better — guard the whole expression
if (Debug.isDebugBuild) Debug.Log($"Player {GetPlayerInfo()} at {Time.time}");

The same principle as the "possibility write" rule above — the runtime pays for the possibility of work, not only for the work.

Output Format

  • Confirmed red flags
  • Likely red flags
  • Changes worth doing now
  • Changes not worth doing now
  • Expected gain category: clarity / frame time / GC / scalability

Guardrails

Mode: Documentation only — no REST skills to gate; load freely under any operating mode (Approval / Auto / Bypass).

  • Do not recommend large refactors without a meaningful hotspot.
  • Do not replace simple code with unreadable “optimized” code unless the hot path is real.

Questions about Unity Performance

How do I install Unity Performance in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Besty0728/Unity-Skills --skill unity-performance -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (SkillsForUnity/unity-skills~/skills/performance in Besty0728/Unity-Skills) into .claude/skills/unity-performance in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Unity Performance in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Besty0728/Unity-Skills --skill unity-performance -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (SkillsForUnity/unity-skills~/skills/performance in Besty0728/Unity-Skills) into .agents/skills/unity-performance in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Unity Performance in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Besty0728/Unity-Skills --skill unity-performance -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/unity-performance, .gemini/skills/unity-performance, .github/skills/unity-performance and .opencode/skills/unity-performance in your project.

What does Unity Performance need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Unity Performance is instructions for the agent only.

Does Unity Performance access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Unity Performance safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Unity Performance use?

Unity Performance is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Unity Performance use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
