What it does

Build CLI is an agent skill from IvanMurzak/Unity-MCP. Build the unity-mcp-cli TypeScript CLI tool and link it globally for terminal use.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 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. It works with TypeScript and 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

  • Game Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/build-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Install Dependencies
  2. Build TypeScript
  3. Link Globally (if $ARGUMENTS contains --link or first time)
  4. Verify

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

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

Build CLI loads about 260 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~260

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.

Build CLI

Build the unity-mcp-cli TypeScript project and optionally link it globally.

Step 1 — Install Dependencies

bash
cd cli && npm install

Only needed if node_modules/ is missing or package.json changed.

Step 2 — Build TypeScript

bash
cd cli && npm run build

This compiles src/**/*.ts → dist/**/*.js via tsc.

bash
cd cli && npm link

This creates a global symlink so unity-mcp-cli is available from any terminal. Only needed once — after that, npm run build alone is sufficient.

Step 4 — Verify

bash
unity-mcp-cli --version

Confirm the CLI is accessible and shows the expected version.

Report

Print the version and confirm success. If any step failed, show the error output.
