Controls the Unity Editor and projects from the command line, driving a running Editor to edit scenes and assets or run C\#. Use when asked to install or manage Editors, licenses, or projects, set up version control, build, test, configure the Unity MCP server, or run any unity command.

## Install

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

## From README

Unity CLI Always use the latest version of the Unity CLI unless you are told to use a specific version. Newer releases regularly add commands and output fields these docs describe, so an outdated CLI fails in ways that read like the docs being wrong. Check with unity self-update --check --format json. Find a command: search, don't grep help Never filter unity --help or a group's help with grep. Help is long, and a grep over it drops the match or the context around it. Use the CLI's own search: unity commands --grep and unity command --query are one search. It covers the CLI's built-in commands, the plugin catalog (installed or not) and the Pipeline commands of the live connected Editor, best match first. Plain words each match in any order; regex characters make it a regular expression. Each row says how to run it (invoke): unity projects link cloud, unity command creategameobject, unity for an installed plugin, or unity plugin for one not yet installed.
