AssetManager Editor Workflow
Use this skill when
- The task involves F8 shortcut actions (asset index, AB name generation).
- The user asks about AB name management, asset reference searching, or null reference checking.
- Troubleshooting missing AB names or stale asset index.
Path resolution
- Editor code: Assets/F8Framework/Editor/AssetManager
- Asset index output: Assets/F8Framework/AssetMap
Sources of truth
- Editor module: Assets/F8Framework/Editor/AssetManager
- Asset index: Assets/F8Framework/AssetMap
- Test docs: Assets/F8Framework/Tests/AssetManager/README.md
Key editor features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| F8 Shortcut | Generates Resources index + AssetBundle names + config classes |
| AB Name Auto-assign | Files in Assets/AssetBundles get AB names automatically |
| Asset Status Inspector | Editor window showing loaded/unloaded asset states |
| Reference Search | Right-click → Find if asset is referenced anywhere in project |
| Clear AB Names | Right-click → Clear selected files/folders AB names |
| Set Same AB Name | Right-click → Set all selected assets to same AB name |
| Null Reference Finder | Window showing assets with missing references |
| Space → Explorer | Hover file + press Space to open in system file manager |
| Multi-process AB Build | Unity 6000+ supports parallel AB building |
Workflow
- Press F8 to regenerate all asset indices and AB names.
- Assets in
AssetBundles/auto-get AB names — existing names are NOT overwritten. - AB output goes to
StreamingAssets/AssetBundles/<Platform>/. - Use right-click context menu for:
- Find references (searches entire project, outputs to log)
- Clear AB names on selected files
- Set same AB name for multiple files
- Use Null Reference Finder window to locate broken references.
- For Unity 6000+: Enable multi-process AB build in Project Settings → Editor.
Common error handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stale AB names after file move | AB names don't auto-clear | Manually clear AB names on moved files |
| Empty AB directory | No assets loaded | Verify AB names assigned, rebuild with F8 |
| Index generation fails | Compilation errors | Fix code errors first, then press F8 |
Output checklist
- F8 generation completed without errors.
- AB names verified on target assets.
- Asset index files generated in AssetMap.
