At a glance

Capture Unreal Engine traces, inspect Trace Store files, keep Unreal Insights GUI open, and export/summarize timing/counter data.

  • Tasks that involve Game development
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Core Commands, JSON Output Guidance and Notes
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

CLI Anything Unrealinsights is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Capture Unreal Engine traces, inspect Trace Store files, keep Unreal Insights GUI open, and export/summarize timing/counter data.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Game Development, covering Game development. It works with Unreal Engine. The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Game development

Example prompts

  • “/cli-anything-unrealinsights”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. 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 powershell).

    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

CLI Anything Unrealinsights loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

cli-anything-unrealinsights

Use this CLI when you need agent-friendly access to Unreal Insights trace capture and exporter workflows on Windows.

Prerequisites

  • Windows
  • Unreal Engine tools installed with UnrealInsights.exe
  • Verified with UE 5.5; headless timing exporters include compatibility handling for UE 5.3-style command parsing where possible
  • Optional explicit env vars:
    • UNREALINSIGHTS_EXE
    • UNREAL_TRACE_SERVER_EXE
    • UNREALINSIGHTS_TRACE

Core Commands

Backend discovery
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend info

To use a source-built engine's matching UnrealInsights.exe:

powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json backend ensure-insights `
  --engine-root 'D:\code\D5\d5render-ue5_3'

This first looks for Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealInsights.exe under the specified engine root, then builds it with that engine's Build.bat if needed.

Trace session state
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights trace set D:\captures\session.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json trace info
Trace Store discovery
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json store info
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json store list --live-only
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json store latest --set-current
Capture orchestration
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture run `
  --project 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject' `
  --engine-root 'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5' `
  --output-trace D:\captures\boot.utrace `
  --channels "default,bookmark" `
  --exec-cmd "Trace.Bookmark BootStart" `
  --wait --timeout 300

You can also keep using the explicit form:

powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture run `
  'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor.exe' `
  --target-arg 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject'
Continuous capture session control
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture start `
  --project 'D:\Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject' `
  --engine-root 'D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5' `
  --output-trace D:\captures\live_session.utrace

cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture status
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture snapshot D:\captures\live_snapshot.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json capture stop

This is the preferred flow when an agent needs to start profiling now and stop or snapshot later in a follow-up turn.

If a tracked capture session is still running, capture start now requires --replace so the previous process is stopped before a new one is launched.

Live trace control backend
powershell
$env:UNREALINSIGHTS_LIVE_EXEC='ushell-wrapper --pid {pid} --cmd "{cmd}"'
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json live processes
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json live trace-status --pid 1234
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json live bookmark --pid 1234 "BeforeExport"
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json live stop-trace --pid 1234

Live command delivery requires UNREALINSIGHTS_LIVE_EXEC or --backend-command. If no backend is configured, live commands return a JSON error and do not claim success. live stop-trace stops trace collection without killing the UE process; capture stop still terminates the harness-launched process tree.

GUI co-pilot
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json gui status
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json gui open --trace D:\captures\session.utrace
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json gui open-latest

GUI commands omit -NoUI and -AutoQuit so Unreal Insights remains open.

Offline exporters
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export threads D:\out\threads.csv
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export timer-stats D:\out\stats.csv --region=EXPORT_CAPTURE
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace export counter-values D:\out\counter_values.csv --counter=*

Prefer equals-form wildcard filters such as --timers=* and --counter=*. The harness passes simple values to UnrealInsights without inner quotes so wildcards remain usable inside -ExecOnAnalysisCompleteCmd.

Batch response files
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace batch run-rsp D:\out\exports.rsp
Analyze summaries
powershell
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json -t D:\captures\session.utrace analyze summary --out D:\out\summary
cli-anything-unrealinsights --json analyze summary --skip-export --out D:\out\summary

The summary reports top timers, focused GameThread/RenderThread/RHIThread hotspots, wait/task-related timers, counter peaks, and uncovered domains for future Memory/Network/Slate/Asset/Cooking analysis.

analyze summary also returns export_status and summary.diagnostics.export_status_counts so agents can distinguish successful exports from trace/filter combinations that completed but produced no rows.

JSON Output Guidance

  • Prefer --json for agent workflows.
  • Export commands return:
    • trace_path
    • exec_command
    • output_files
    • output_status
    • status_message
    • log_path
    • exit_code
    • warnings
    • errors
    • succeeded
  • Capture returns:
    • command
    • trace_path
    • trace_exists
    • trace_size
    • pid or exit_code
  • Continuous capture status returns:
    • pid
    • running
    • target_exe
    • project_path
    • trace_path
    • trace_size
    • started_at
  • Trace Store commands return:
    • store_dir
    • trace_count
    • traces
    • latest
  • Live commands return:
    • pid
    • live_command
    • backend
    • exit_code
    • succeeded
  • Analyze summary returns:
    • exports
    • export_status
    • summary.top_timers
    • summary.focus_threads
    • summary.wait_timers
    • summary.counter_peaks
    • summary.diagnostics
    • summary.uncovered_domains

Treat output_status == "ok" as a materialized export. Treat output_status == "no_output" as an empty trace/filter result, not a backend crash. Use exporter_error, process_failed, and timed_out for retry or debugging decisions.

Notes

  • v1 is Windows-first.
  • v1 includes Trace Store browsing, GUI open/status, pluggable live command delivery, and timing/counter summaries.
  • capture stop is a best-effort stop of the harness-launched process tree.
  • capture snapshot is a best-effort filesystem snapshot of the active trace.
  • Regression tests auto-discover the UE example_trace.decomp.utrace sample when present; the binary trace is not vendored.
