Create, read, and analyze C# scripts — create, read, replace, append, search, rename, move, and delete scripts, plus compile feedback. Use when authoring or editing C# code, searching across scripts, refactoring file layout, or checking compile errors, even if the user just says "写个脚本" or "改代码". 对 C# 脚本进行增删改查与分析(创建、读取、替换、追加、搜索、重命名、移动、删除脚本,以及编译反馈);当用户要编写或编辑 C# 代码、跨脚本搜索、重构文件布局、或检查编译错误时使用。

Unity Script Skills

BATCH-FIRST: Use script_create_batch when creating 2+ scripts. DESIGN-FIRST: Before creating gameplay scripts, actively consider coupling, performance, and maintainability. In an existing project, load ../project-scout/SKILL.md first. If the user is asking for architecture or refactoring advice, load ../architecture/SKILL.md and then ../patterns/SKILL.md, ../async/SKILL.md, ../inspector/SKILL.md, ../performance/SKILL.md, ../script-roles/SKILL.md, ../scene-contracts/SKILL.md, ../testability/SKILL.md, or ../scriptdesign/SKILL.md as needed.

Operating Mode

  • Approval: 只读类 skill(script_read / script_list / script_find_in_file / script_get_info / script_get_compile_feedback,标 SkillMode.SemiAuto)直接执行;写型 skill(script_create / script_create_batch / script_replace / script_append / script_rename / script_move / script_delete,默认 SkillMode.FullAuto)需用户 grant,grant 后服务端一步执行返结果。
  • Auto / Bypass: 直接执行。
  • 本模块含 Delete / Reload 类高危 skill:script_create / script_create_batch / script_replace / script_append / script_delete 会触发 Domain Reload(且多标 RiskLevel=high),script_delete 同时是 Delete 操作 —— 这些 skill 在 Approval / Auto 下被 IsForbiddenInSemi 自动拦截,仅 Bypass 或 Allowlist 命中可执行。

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

  • script_edit / script_update do not exist → use script_replace for find-and-replace
  • script_write does not exist → use script_create (new file) or script_replace (modify existing)
  • scriptName parameter must NOT include .cs extension
  • Templates only accept: MonoBehaviour, ScriptableObject, Editor, EditorWindow

Routing:

  • To modify existing script content → script_replace (find/replace) or script_append (add lines)
  • To read script → script_read
  • To check compile errors → script_get_compile_feedback
  • To analyze script API → use perception module's script_analyze

Skills Overview

Single ObjectBatch VersionUse Batch When
script_createscript_create_batchCreating 2+ scripts

No batch needed:

  • script_read - Read script content
  • script_delete - Delete script
  • script_find_in_file - Search in scripts
  • script_append - Append content to script
  • script_get_compile_feedback - Check compile errors for one script after Unity finishes compiling
  • create_script() in scripts/unity_skills.py now waits for Unity to come back once and refreshes compile feedback automatically after script creation.

Skills

script_create

Create a C# script from template.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
scriptNamestringYes-Script class name
folderstringNo"Assets/Scripts"Save folder
templatestringNo"MonoBehaviour"Template type
namespaceNamestringNonullOptional namespace

Templates: MonoBehaviour, ScriptableObject, Editor, EditorWindow

Returns: {success, status, path, jobId, className, namespaceName, designReminder, serverAvailability?}

Poll the returned jobId (or call script_get_compile_feedback) to obtain compile diagnostics — they are not embedded in the synchronous response. serverAvailability carries the transient-unavailable hint when Unity is about to reload the script domain.

script_create_batch

Create multiple scripts in one call.

Returns: {success, totalItems, successCount, failCount, results: [{success, path, className}], compilation?}

Before batch creation, decide whether each script should be:

  • a thin MonoBehaviour bridge
  • a ScriptableObject configuration asset
  • or a plain C# domain/service class generated from a custom template
unity_skills.call_skill("script_create_batch", items=[
    {"scriptName": "PlayerController", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Player", "template": "MonoBehaviour"},
    {"scriptName": "EnemyAI", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Enemy", "template": "MonoBehaviour"},
    {"scriptName": "GameSettings", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Data", "template": "ScriptableObject"}
])

script_read

Read script content.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
scriptPathstringYesScript asset path

Returns: {path, lines, content}

script_delete

Delete a script.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
scriptPathstringYesScript to delete

Returns: {success, status, deleted, jobId, serverAvailability?}

script_find_in_file

Search for patterns in scripts.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
patternstringYes-Search pattern
folderstringNo"Assets"Search folder
isRegexboolNofalseUse regex
limitintNo50Max results

Returns: {pattern, matchCount, matches: [{file, line, content}]}

script_append

Append content to a script.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
scriptPathstringYes-Script path
contentstringYes-Content to append
atLineintNoendLine number to insert at

script_get_compile_feedback

Get compile diagnostics related to one script.

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
scriptPathstringYes-Script path
limitintNo20Max diagnostics

Example: Efficient Script Setup

import unity_skills

# BAD: 3 API calls + 3 Domain Reloads
unity_skills.call_skill("script_create", scriptName="PlayerController", folder="Assets/Scripts/Player")
# Wait for Domain Reload...
unity_skills.call_skill("script_create", scriptName="EnemyAI", folder="Assets/Scripts/Enemy")
# Wait for Domain Reload...
unity_skills.call_skill("script_create", scriptName="GameManager", folder="Assets/Scripts/Core")
# Wait for Domain Reload...

# GOOD: 1 API call + 1 Domain Reload
unity_skills.call_skill("script_create_batch", items=[
    {"scriptName": "PlayerController", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Player"},
    {"scriptName": "EnemyAI", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Enemy"},
    {"scriptName": "GameManager", "folder": "Assets/Scripts/Core"}
])
# Wait for Domain Reload once...

Important: Domain Reload And Compile Feedback

After creating or editing scripts, Unity triggers a Domain Reload (recompilation). Use the returned compilation field first. If isCompiling=true, wait for Unity to finish and then call script_get_compile_feedback.

import time

result = unity_skills.call_skill("script_create", scriptName="MyScript")
time.sleep(5)  # Wait for Unity to recompile if result["compilation"]["isCompiling"] is true
feedback = unity_skills.call_skill("script_get_compile_feedback", scriptPath=result["path"])
unity_skills.call_skill("component_add", name="Player", componentType="MyScript")

Best Practices

  1. Use meaningful script names matching class name
  2. Organize scripts in logical folders
  3. Before creating gameplay code, decide the class role first: MonoBehaviour, ScriptableObject, or plain C# helper/service
  4. Actively reduce coupling: prefer explicit dependencies, small responsibilities, and event-driven notifications over hidden globals
  5. Actively consider performance: avoid unnecessary Update, repeated Find, reflection in hot paths, and avoidable allocations
  6. Actively consider maintainability: clear naming, explicit ownership, Inspector-friendly fields, and simple module boundaries
  7. Avoid giant boilerplate/template dumps. Start from the smallest structure that solves the current need
  8. Do not default to UniTask or a global event bus unless the project context justifies them
  9. Avoid cryptic abbreviations in class, field, and method names unless they are already a project convention
  10. Use templates for correct base class
  11. Wait for compilation after creating scripts
  12. After script edits, call script_get_compile_feedback and fix reported errors
  13. Use regex search for complex patterns
  14. Use batch creation to minimize Domain Reloads
