unity-prefab-workflow
Prefab Workflow
Create, open, edit, and instantiate prefab assets via unity-cli. This skill owns the prefab edit-mode lifecycle; scene-instance edits belong to unity-gameobject-edit.
Use When
- The user wants to create or update a prefab asset.
- The task requires entering prefab edit mode and saving changes back to the asset.
- The user wants to instantiate prefab assets into a scene with specific transforms.
Do Not Use When
- The request edits ordinary scene objects with no prefab asset involved; use
unity-gameobject-edit. - The task is bootstrapping a fresh scene; use
unity-scene-create. - The request is about asset import settings or materials; use
unity-asset-management.
Preferred Flow

unity-cli-usage
Bootstrap the unity-cli toolchain for Unity Editor automation. Use when verifying the unity-cli binary, choosing between typed subcommands and raw tool calls, switching active Unity instances, or troubleshooting host/port and install-mode issues. Do not use once a more specific Unity workflow skill applies; defer to `unity-scene-create`, `unity-csharp-edit`, `unity-editor-tools`, or another domain skill instead.
1unity-csharp-navigate
Explore Unity C# code without modifying files. Use when the user asks to read scripts, search text, find a symbol, trace references, inspect namespaces or packages, or understand where a class, method, or field is used. Do not use for code edits, renames, or refactors; use `unity-csharp-edit`. Do not use for scene inspection; use `unity-scene-inspect`.
1unity-development-loop
Run Unity runtime development loops with gameplay-focused implementation and validation. Use when the user asks to iterate on runtime behavior, reproduce and fix a gameplay bug, or implement a Unity-side flow until acceptance criteria are met. Do not use for `.inputactions` authoring, read-only inspection, or Rust CLI-only work.
1unity-playmode-testing
Drive Unity runtime verification with unity-cli. Use when the user asks to enter or exit play-mode, run an editmode or playmode test, simulate keyboard, mouse, gamepad, or touch input, capture a screenshot or video, or inspect current test status. Do not use for authoring input action assets; use `unity-input-system` instead.
1unity-scene-create
Create and bootstrap Unity scenes with unity-cli. Use when the user asks to create a new scene, load or save a scene, add starter GameObjects, or attach initial components while bootstrapping a level or test scene. Do not use for editing existing GameObjects in place; use `unity-gameobject-edit`. Do not use inside prefab edit mode; use `unity-prefab-workflow` instead.
1unity-scene-inspect
Inspect Unity scenes without mutating them. Use when the user asks to analyze scene hierarchy, list scenes, find a gameobject by name or component, inspect component values, review object references, or query animator state. Do not use for creating scenes; use `unity-scene-create`. Do not use for editing GameObjects; use `unity-gameobject-edit`.
