Unity UI

About this skill

Unity UI is a skill in Besty0728/Unity-Skills (1.8k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, with 1 other file in the folder. Licence: MIT.

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Create a Canvas first.
2. 2Use panels to group related controls.
3. 3Prefer ui_create_batch for menus, HUD groups, and repeated widgets.
4. 4Use anchors and layout groups before hand-placing every child.
5. 5Text creation auto-detects TextMeshPro. Responses indicate whether TMP was used.
6. 6For world-space gameplay UI, build the Canvas here first, then convert for XR only if needed.
7. 7ui_create_batch is mainly for bulk creation, not precise positioning. Follow it with layout or rect/anchor adjustments.
8. 8ui_create_batch.items is a JSON string parameter in the current REST/API layer, not a raw array object.

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 python).

  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 UI loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~12

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

~3k

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.
