Unity Shader Skills

Work with shaders - create shader files, read source code, and list available shaders.

Skills Overview

Skill	Description
shader_create	Create shader file
shader_read	Read shader source
shader_list	List all shaders
shader_find	Find shader by name
shader_delete	Delete shader file
shader_get_properties	Get shader properties

---

Skills

shader_create

Create a shader file from template.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
shaderName	string	Yes	-	Shader name (e.g., "Custom/MyShader")
savePath	string	Yes	-	Save path
template	string	No	"Unlit"	Template type

Templates:

Template	Description
Unlit	Basic unlit shader
Standard	PBR surface shader
Transparent	Alpha blended

shader_read

Read shader source code.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
shaderPath	string	Yes	Shader asset path

Returns: {success, path, content}

shader_list

List all shaders in project.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
filter	string	No	null	Name filter
limit	int	No	100	Max results

Returns: {success, count, shaders: [{name, path}]}

shader_find

Find a shader by name.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
shaderName	string	Yes	Shader name to find

Returns: {success, name, path, propertyCount}

shader_delete

Delete a shader file.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
shaderPath	string	Yes	Shader asset path

shader_get_properties

Get all properties defined in a shader.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
shaderName	string	No*	Shader name
shaderPath	string	No*	Shader asset path

Returns: {success, properties: [{name, type, description}]}

Example Usage

import unity_skills

# Create an unlit shader
unity_skills.call_skill("shader_create",
    shaderName="Custom/MyUnlit",
    savePath="Assets/Shaders/MyUnlit.shader",
    template="Unlit"
)

# Create a surface shader
unity_skills.call_skill("shader_create",
    shaderName="Custom/MyPBR",
    savePath="Assets/Shaders/MyPBR.shader",
    template="Standard"
)

# Read shader source
source = unity_skills.call_skill("shader_read",
    shaderPath="Assets/Shaders/MyUnlit.shader"
)
print(source['content'])

# List all custom shaders
shaders = unity_skills.call_skill("shader_list", filter="Custom")
for shader in shaders['shaders']:
    print(f"{shader['name']}: {shader['path']}")

Best Practices

1. Use consistent shader naming (Category/Name)
2. Organize shaders in dedicated folder
3. Start with templates, modify as needed
4. Test shaders in different lighting conditions
5. Consider mobile compatibility for builds
