Source-anchored Shader Graph design rules for Unity 2022.3. An agent skill from Besty0728/Unity-Skills.

  • SKILL.md covers Triggers, Source Scope, When To Load and What This Module Assumes, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Unity Shadergraph Design is an agent skill from Besty0728/Unity-Skills. Source-anchored Shader Graph design rules for Unity 2022.3

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `NODES.md`, `PITFALLS.md` and `RECIPES.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Shaders. The repository describes itself as: AI automation skills specifically designed for Unity. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Shaders

Example prompts

  • “/unity-shadergraph-design”

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.

    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 Shadergraph Design loads about 894 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~894

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.

Source-anchored Shader Graph design rules for Unity 2022.3

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

  • Building or reviewing Shader Graphs
  • Structuring node chains or SubGraphs
  • Laying out blackboard/keywords
  • Following URP/HDRP graph recipes
  • 构建或审查 Shader Graph、组织节点链或 SubGraph、布置黑板/关键字、参考 URP/HDRP 图配方

ShaderGraph - Design Rules

Advisory module. Read this before giving Shader Graph guidance. The goal is to keep recommendations anchored to actual package/source behavior, not stale model memory.

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

Source Scope

Validated against:

  • Unity 2022.3 package source: E:/CodeSpace/temp/shadergraph/com.unity.shadergraph@14.0.12
  • Unity 6 Graphics source: E:/CodeSpace/temp/Graphics/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph
  • Runtime/editor behavior in this repo's ShaderGraph skills and dual-version test environments

Core anchors:

  • Editor/Data/Graphs/GraphData.cs
  • Editor/Data/Nodes/AbstractMaterialNode.cs
  • Editor/Data/Interfaces/Graph/SlotReference.cs
  • Specific node files under Editor/Data/Nodes/...

When To Load

Load before:

  • Designing a new Graph or SubGraph architecture
  • Reviewing a proposed Shader Graph node chain
  • Advising on blackboard properties, keywords, samplers, or SubGraph boundaries
  • Suggesting changes to graphs through the constrained shadergraph_* node editing skills

What This Module Assumes

  • Graph editing is limited to the current safe node whitelist exposed by shadergraph_list_supported_nodes
  • Guidance must stay inside what Unity 2022.3 and Unity 6 both support
  • shadergraph_get_structure is the fact source for current node ids, slot ids, and live topology
  • The practical overlap is 28 nodes across both versions; AppendVectorNode is currently Unity 6 only in live validation

Sub-doc Routing

Sub-docRead when
VERSIONS.mdYou need version differences or portability rules
NODES.mdYou need the supported node subset and editable fields
RECIPES.mdYou need patterns that the current skill subset can actually build
PITFALLS.mdYou are reviewing a graph or suspect bad advice / hidden costs
REVIEW.mdYou want a checklist for judging a Shader Graph plan

Hard Rules

  • Do not recommend nodes outside the current whitelist unless you clearly say the current skills cannot build them.
  • Do not talk about "editing by node name"; the implementation uses serialized nodeId and slotId.
  • Do not assume Unity 2022.3 has package graph templates. It commonly does not.
  • Do not tell the agent to mutate Master Stack, Target, Context, Block, or SubGraph output structure. Stage 2 does not support that.
  • For PropertyNode, create or verify the blackboard property first; the node binds a real property object, not just a string.
  • Prefer small SubGraphs when reuse or porting matters, but keep them within the currently supported node subset if you expect the skills to edit them later.

When in doubt, cite the relevant source path or ask the runtime graph for structure first.
