SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Unity shader development often involves manual setup, trial-and-error, and scattered shader assets. This Skill provides a centralized interface to create, inspect, list, search, and retrieve properties of shaders within a Unity project, reducing repetitive tasks and speeding iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • shader_create: Create a new shader asset from a template (Unlit, Standard, Transparent).
  • shader_read: Read shader source code from an asset.
  • shader_list: List all shaders in the project, optionally filtered by name.
  • shader_find: Find a shader by name.
  • shader_delete: Delete a shader asset.
  • shader_get_properties: Retrieve shader properties such as textures, colors, and floats. Use cases include authoring new shaders, auditing shader assets, and verifying shader properties for materials.

Quick Start

Create a new shader named Custom/MyShader using the Standard template and save it to Assets/Shaders/MyShader.shader.

Frequently Asked Questions about unity-shader

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Unity shader from a template programmatically?▼

To create a Unity shader programmatically, use the shader_create operation to generate a new shader asset from templates like Unlit, Standard, or Transparent, saving it directly to your project's Assets folder.

How can I list and find specific shaders across a Unity project?▼

You can list and find Unity shaders using the shader_list and shader_find operations, which enumerate all shader assets in the project and allow filtering or locating specific shaders by name.

How do I retrieve shader properties like textures and colors in Unity?▼

To retrieve Unity shader properties such as textures, colors, and floats, use the shader_get_properties operation, which extracts these attributes directly from the specified shader asset for material verification.

Can I read and delete Unity shader source code through an automated workflow?▼

Yes, you can automate reading and deleting Unity shader source code by using the shader_read operation to inspect the source and shader_delete to remove unwanted shader assets from your project.

What is the best way to manage scattered Unity shader assets?▼

The best way to manage scattered Unity shader assets is through a centralized interface that handles creation, inspection, listing, searching, and retrieval, reducing manual trial-and-error and speeding up iteration.

Do I need specific Unity tooling to use shader management operations?▼

Yes, these shader management operations require Unity shader tooling to function, providing the necessary environment to execute shader_create, shader_read, shader_list, shader_find, shader_delete, and shader_get_properties actions.
