What it does
Assets Shader Get Data is an agent skill from IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP. Get detailed data about a shader asset — properties, subshaders, passes, compilation messages, and supported status. Supports token-saving path-scoped reads via paths or viewQuery. Use 'assets-find' with t:Shader or 'assets-shader-list-all' to locate the shader first.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k 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 Shaders. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI Skills, MCP Tools, and CLI for Unity Engine. Full AI develop and test loop. Use cli for quick setup. Efficient token usage, advanced tools. Any C method may be turned into a… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
Tasks that involve Shaders
Example prompts
“assets-find”
“assets-shader-list-all”
“/assets-shader-get-data”
Requirements
Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c8056f. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npm
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Assets Shader Get Data loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k
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.

assets-shader-get-data
description
Get detailed data about a shader asset — properties, subshaders, passes, compilation messages, and supported status. Supports token-saving path-scoped reads via `paths` or `viewQuery`. Use 'assets-find' with `t:Shader` or 'assets-shader-list-all' to locate the shader first.
Assets / Shader / Get Data
Get detailed data about a shader asset in the Unity project. Returns shader properties, subshaders, passes, compilation errors, and supported status. Use 'assets-find' tool with filter 't:Shader' to find shaders, or 'assets-shader-list-all' tool to list all shader names.
Toggles (most default off to keep responses small)
includeSubshaders (default false) — subshader and pass structure.
includeSourceCode (default false) — pass source code. Implies includeSubshaders and can produce very large responses.
Path-scoped reads (token-saving)
Supply paths (a list of paths) to read only the listed fields/elements via Reflector.TryReadAt, or viewQuery (a ViewQuery) to navigate to a subtree and/or filter by name regex / max depth / type via Reflector.View. The result populates View on the returned ShaderData. These two parameters are mutually exclusive.
Path syntax
fieldName, nested/field, arrayField/[i], dictField/[key]. Leading #/ is stripped.
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

Assets Shader Get Data this skillIvanMurzak/Unity-MCP
Walks an Unreal Engine MCP agent through building materials, Niagara particle systems, Chaos destruction, and curve assets with inspect-then-edit steps.
Creates, edits and compiles Unreal Engine 5.8 material assets as one HLSL Custom node through the UMG MCP bridge, instead of editing .uasset files directly.
Provides patterns and best practices for TouchDesigner via MCP API - operator creation, network layout, rendering, GLSL shaders, data conversion (CHOP/SOP/POP/TOP/DAT).
Build and upgrade Three.js visual systems for apps and games using Mint MCP assets, authored geometry, materials, lighting, shaders, VFX, technical art, and measured performance.
Rapid-iteration parameter tuning, diagnostics, and Custom-HLSL scratch-pad authoring for Niagara systems (VibeUE NiagaraService + NiagaraScratchPadService).
Get detailed data about a shader asset — properties, subshaders, passes, compilation messages, and supported status. Assets Shader Get Data is an agent skill from IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP. Get detailed data about a shader asset — properties, subshaders, passes, compilation messages, and supported status.
When should I use Assets Shader Get Data?
Assets Shader Get Data fits situations like: tasks that involve Shaders.
How do I install Assets Shader Get Data in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP --skill assets-shader-get-data -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Unity-MCP-Plugin/.claude/skills/assets-shader-get-data in IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP) into .claude/skills/assets-shader-get-data in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Assets Shader Get Data in Codex?
Run `npx skills add IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP --skill assets-shader-get-data -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (Unity-MCP-Plugin/.claude/skills/assets-shader-get-data in IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP) into .agents/skills/assets-shader-get-data in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Assets Shader Get Data 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 IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP --skill assets-shader-get-data -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/assets-shader-get-data, .gemini/skills/assets-shader-get-data, .github/skills/assets-shader-get-data and .opencode/skills/assets-shader-get-data in your project.
What does Assets Shader Get Data need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Assets Shader Get Data needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm and npx). Our summary lists: Node.js.
Does Assets Shader Get Data access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
