Unity Skills (official)
Unity's own collection of skills for AI coding agents: prompts, slash commands and tools built for Unity workflows.
Listed from the author's README. GameSkill has not run this end to end yet. Agent support and install steps are as documented by the author.
Install
npx skills add Unity-Technologies/skills --skill migrate-birp-to-urpInstalls only this skill. Add -a claude-code (puts it in .claude/skills/), -a codex or -a cursor (.agents/skills/) to choose the agent, and -g to install it for your user instead of the project.
Commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository before running anything on your machine.
Install for a specific agent
| Agents | -a | Folder |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude-code | .claude/skills/ |
| Codex | codex | .agents/skills/ |
| Cursor | cursor | .agents/skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | gemini-cli | .agents/skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot | github-copilot | .agents/skills/ |
| OpenCode | opencode | .agents/skills/ |
| Windsurf | windsurf | .windsurf/skills/ |
Add -a <flag> to the command. These are project folders; add -g to install for your user account instead.
What you get
- Worked steps: Pre-Flight: Pipeline Detection and Reference Loading; Assess Current Migration State; Gather Requirements; Safety Gate
- A verification step before the work is called done
- Bundled 1 supporting file and 6 reference docs the agent reads when needed
Good fit
- When asked to convert a project, scene, material, or shader to URP, or to fix visuals broken by the change
Try this prompt

- Assess Current Migration State
Good to know
Maintained and published by Unity. Many skills drive the open Unity Editor through the Unity CLI instead of editing scene files by hand.
Requirements
- A Unity project
- Unity CLI (recommended: many skills drive the open Editor through it)
