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 build-live-gameInstalls 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
- A verification step before the work is called done
- Bundled 10 reference docs the agent reads when needed
