## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/initialize-ai-navigation ~/.claude/skills/initialize-ai-navigation
```

## From README

Passing C\# to script eval script eval compiles a statement block, not a file. Two consequences, both of which cause a compile error rather than a warning: No using directives. The compiler reads using UnityEngine; as a resource-disposal statement and rejects it (CS0210). Types must be fully qualified. A bare AssetDatabase or Volume does not resolve (CS0246 / CS0103), and a bare Object is ambiguous with object (CS0104). Where a snippet below is written as a file — with usings, for readability, or because it is meant to be saved into the project — qualify the types before passing it to script eval.
