The +skill documents the published [`unity` CLI](https://public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com/hub/prod/cli/); +each entry notes the CLI version the skill was aligned to. + +The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/). Sections are +normally cut per CLI release once that release has shipped publicly, so pending skill work is +usually tracked alongside the CLI change itself, not here. The `[Unreleased]` section below is +the narrow exception: a surface documented ahead of its CLI release. It folds into that +release's own dated section once the CLI actually ships it. + +## [Unreleased] + +### Added + +- **`unity setup codex` and `unity setup grok`**: `integration-advanced.md` documents installing Unity's agent plugin into Codex and Grok Build, the commands each runs, `CODEX_HOME` / `GROK_HOME`, the not-found and install-failed error codes, and the null `reloadCommand`. `SECURITY.md` extends the plugin-install fence to both. Pending the commands shipping in a CLI release. +- **`--with-pipeline` on `unity projects create`**: `projects-templates.md` documents adding `com.unity.pipeline` during creation, its never-fails-the-create warnings, the `pipeline` result field and its error codes, and the agent-session hint; `integration-advanced.md` points at it from the Pipeline setup section. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- **`--cloud-org` and `--no-sign` on `unity assets export`**: `projects-templates.md` documents that Unity 6.6+ exports are signed by default, how the signing organization resolves, the pre-spawn refusals (exit `3` / `4`), `ASSETS_EXPORT_SIGNING_FAILED`, and the new `signed` / `signingOrganizationId` result fields. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- **`--no-wait` and `--wait-timeout ` on `install`, `install-modules` and `projects require`**: documented in `editors-install.md` under "Waiting on another install", with exit code 9 and the `INSTALL_LOCK_BUSY` error code they fail with, including that exit 9 can follow a partial install. Exit 9 is also in `SKILL.md`'s exit code table. Pending the flags shipping in a CLI release. +- **Experimental FEX-Emu support on Linux arm64**: `editors-install.md` documents the `UNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_FEX_EMU=1` opt-in, the FEX-Emu and RootFS it requires, the `fex-emu` doctor row, and the `FEX_EMU_EXPERIMENTAL` notification. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- **The `source` field on plugin runtime rows**: `integration-advanced.md`'s `unity plugin` section says what `machine`, `package-manager` and `managed` mean on `plugin install`/`upgrade`/`list` and `doctor` rows, and what a runtime row ending `dependency-unavailable` means. Pending the field shipping in a CLI release. +- `--coppa ` on `projects create`, `projects link cloud`, `projects link vcs`, and `vcs setup`, and the `coppa` field those commands report when they create a Unity Cloud project. Documented as a "COPPA declaration" note under `projects create` in `projects-templates.md`, with the flag added to the cloud-question, `link` and URL-form flag lists in the same file. +- **`unity projects close`**: documented in `projects-templates.md` beside the existing `unity close` docs. Same shipping command under its `projects` mount, previously missing from this skill even though it has been part of the published CLI for a while. +- **`--key-from-stdin` on `unity collaboration jira server add`, `update`, and `test`**: the Collaboration reference's `jira server` table lists it next to a warning that `--key` exposes the API token in the process list and CI logs, and every example there now pipes the token with `printf '%s' "$JIRA_TOKEN" | ... --key-from-stdin`. Pending the flag shipping in a CLI release. +- **`unity templates list --brief`**: documented in `projects-templates.md`'s Templates section, and the template-picking step now runs the list with `--brief --format json` instead of the untrimmed form. The flag trims the JSON data to the same name/displayName/type/version/status columns the table already renders, which matters because the untrimmed payload can run into the hundreds of KB for the default catalog. + +- `unity build`'s json/ndjson result gains `data.outputPath`: the absolute, resolved `--output-path` a build was told to write to, `null` only for an `--execute-method` build invoked without `--output-path`. Documented in the Build section of `build-run-test.md`, under a new "Output path in the result" paragraph beside the existing provenance-manifest one. +- **`unity bug --area `**: which part of Unity the issue is in, documented under Bug in `diagnostics-maintenance.md`. Optional and never blocking: on a terminal the reporter asks with "Not sure" preselected, and a non-interactive run without it sends no area. The answer rides as an `Issue area:` line in the report text, which is what triage reads. An `editor` or `pipeline-package` answer makes the project-copy question explain why a copy helps; it still defaults to no, and a `licensing` answer does not get that hint (a licensing or sign-in issue is rarely about the project itself). Pending the flag shipping in a CLI release. + +### Changed + +- **`UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` for per-worktree agents**: `SKILL.md`'s one-Editor-per-worktree paragraph now tells agents to set `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH=` once for the session, and names the commands that don't read it (`recompile`, `close`, `mcp configure`). The environment-variable table lists every command that honors it, `unity mcp` included. `integration-advanced.md` adds the variable to the target resolver's order and shows `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH=... unity mcp`. Pending the `unity mcp` change shipping in a CLI release. +- **`UNITY_PEER_AUTH_MODE=identify-only`**: `SKILL.md` and `auth-license-cloud.md` now say that a broker started this way is a separate dev broker with its own address and sign-in, that it refuses Unity-signed apps, and that Unity apps refuse it. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- `build-run-test.md`'s Build section now says `unity build --format json` writes only the result document to stdout, with the progress frames and the streamed Editor log on stderr, and that the streamed log masks the credentials the CLI passes the Editor (the `-accessToken` value, the Android keystore passwords) in `build`, `run` and `test`. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- **The "Bootstrap a new project from scratch" recipe now installs the Pipeline package before the first open and builds the scene in the live Editor.** It used to end at `unity open` without mentioning `unity pipeline install`, which led agents to build scenes through `unity run -- -executeMethod` and to report success on output they couldn't inspect. New steps 5 and 6 run `pipeline install`, `open` and `status --until-ready`. The recipe now says to set up scenes and assets with `unity command eval` against the running Editor, with batch mode as the headless fallback. `integration-advanced.md` and the recipe also document `STATUS_PIPELINE_LOAD_PENDING`, the `unity status` state for a package installed into an Editor that is already open but hasn't loaded it yet. That code is pending a CLI release. +- The Auth reference now notes, beside the `unity auth login --secret-from-stdin` example, that the secret must be piped in: a terminal on stdin is refused, and the command stops waiting after 30 seconds if the pipe is never closed. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- **One Editor per worktree, and report a failed call.** `SKILL.md` now tells an agent working in several worktrees to make each one with `unity vcs git worktree add --into `, open the project inside it with `unity open`, and target that Editor by its full project path. It never drives an Editor whose project isn't its own checkout. Once Safe Mode, a sandbox and a slow import are ruled out, it also reports a timeout or an Editor lifecycle failure to the user instead of silently working around it. It offers `unity bug --area pipeline-package` and asks first. The full-path advice pairs with `unity status --project-path` matching an existing directory exactly, which is pending a CLI release. +- The Config reference's proxy section said credentials missing from a proxy URL are read from the OS keyring, which the CLI doesn't do. It now says so, warns that credentials in a URL passed on the command line show in the process list and CI logs, and points at your OS identity or `UNITY_PROXY` instead. +- The bootstrap recipe's step 6 and the `unity status` reference now pass the project's full path to `unity status --until-ready --project-path`, and say how the flag matches. A path that exists matches that project only, so a sibling checkout such as `MyGame-lighting` never ends the wait for `MyGame`, and a bare name still matches any project path containing it. Pending the change shipping in a CLI release. +- The install one-liners in SKILL.md no longer set `UNITY_CLI_CHANNEL=beta`. A bare `install.sh` / `install.ps1` run already installs the latest beta until a stable release exists, and the stable release after that. +- `projects-templates.md`'s `projects create` walkthrough said the interactive Unity Cloud question defaults to No. It defaults to Yes (`PromptCloudEnabled` in `ProjectsCreateCommand.cs`), matching what the rest of the same file already said. Corrected the one contradicting sentence. +- `projects new`'s `--help` description now says it never links to Unity Cloud, matching the fact already documented in this file's `projects new` section. Help snapshots, completion goldens, and the command-surface digest were regenerated for the new wording. +- `version-control.md`'s `vcs providers` section documents the new `cm` row, taken from `unity plugin list`'s own registry lookup, and the `unity plugin install uvcs` suggestion inside a UVCS workspace with no `cm`. It previously said the command does not report `cm`. +- `build-run-test.md`'s Accelerator example ran `unity build` with `--target StandaloneLinux64` and no `--output-path`. A desktop target with neither `--execute-method` nor `--profile` is a built-in player build, which requires an output path, so the example exited 2. It now passes `--output-path ./Build/MyGame.x86_64`. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.11` (2026-09-22) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.11` release. Cut automatically by the release that published it, from the skill as it stood in that release — so this entry covers the documentation changes that had already landed by then. Anything worth calling out individually is added here in a follow-up pass. + +### Added + +- **`unity assets export --output `**: new subcommand, the write-side companion to `unity assets inspect`. The Assets section in `projects-templates.md` (retitled to cover both) documents the flags (`--project`, `--no-dependencies`), the batchmode-Editor requirement, pre-spawn path validation (exit `6` on a missing, outside-project, or non-`Assets`/`Packages` path), and the `--format json`/`ndjson`/`tsv` shapes. + +### Changed + +- `cloud-automation.md` said missing arguments or flag values could produce plain-text usage errors even under `--format json`. They fail with exit `2` and the ordinary JSON failure shape, `errors[].code` `INVALID_COMMAND_ARGS`. +- SKILL.md and `auth-license-cloud.md` no longer mention a feature-gated command family that isn't part of the public command surface. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.10` (2026-09-14) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.10` release. Much of this release's surface was already documented ahead of it shipping — `unity context`, `unity watch test`, `unity commands`, `unity vcs blame`, `unity skill refresh`, and the Unity Accelerator settings (`unity config accelerator` / `--accelerator` / `unity diagnose accelerator`, listed under Deferred in the `1.0.0-beta.9` entry) — so this entry records what was still missing. + +### Added + +- **`unity assets inspect `** — new command family. A new Assets section in `projects-templates.md` covers the offline listing (asset path, GUID, payload size, preview flag), the machine formats, and the constant-memory streaming. +- **`unity build --list-targets` / `--list-profiles` / `--create-profile `** and **`unity build run`** — the build discovery and Build Profile creation options, plus launching the most recent recorded build (`--path` for another). A new subsection under Build in `build-run-test.md`, rows in the Build options table, and the `BUILD_INVALID_TARGET` pointer at `--profile`. +- **`unity open --wait`** (also `projects open` / `projects upgrade`) — documented under Projects in `projects-templates.md`: blocks until the Editor exits, exit `0` / `6`, macOS and Linux only, refused with exit `2` on Windows; plus the signal-killed-Editor reporting (inside the 150 ms startup watch without `--wait`, for the whole run with it). +- **`ProjectSettings/UnityCliConfig.json` and `unity config resolve [project]`** — the committed per-project build/test defaults layer (nine keys), the global `config set build.target …` layer beneath it, the precedence order, and the command that names which layer a value came from — in `config-hub.md`, with a pointer from Build. +- **`unity command --result-only`** — the envelope-free JSON result mode, in `integration-advanced.md`, alongside the readable rendering of `recompile` / `recompile_status` / `test_status` / `run_tests` results. +- **`unity license status`'s `floatingServer` / `machineId` fields** — in `auth-license-cloud.md`. +- **`UNITY_NO_AUTH_BROKER`, `UNITY_PEER_AUTH_MODE` / `UNITY_PEER_AUTH_LINUX_ALLOWED_HASHES`, `UNITY_CLI_HOME`, `UNITY_NO_EDITOR_IDENTITY_SERVER`** — added to the environment-variables table in SKILL.md, with a short paragraph under Auth explaining the on-demand resident auth broker, the hardware-sealed token store, and the peer code-signature check. + +### Changed + +- `unity mcp configure` — `continue` now prints `config.yaml` instructions instead of writing a file, `--dry-run` previews only the entry being changed, `codex` also relaxes the Codex sandbox network policy and refuses an unsafe `config.toml` edit, and every client config write is atomic; the MCP section also notes the desktop-screenshot fallback of `capture_game_view` / `capture_scene_view` and the `tools/list_changed` notification. +- `unity status` — the `starting` state (Editor still booting) noted alongside `unreachable`. +- `unity self-update` — noted that an interrupted download resumes on the next run and that a Brotli-compressed artifact is preferred when published. +- `unity install` — noted the bounded retry on transient download failures and that `--resume` also recovers an interrupted module download. +- Command index (SKILL.md) refreshed: `assets` added; `config` gains `resolve`; `build` gains `run`. +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.10`. +- The `unity commands` note no longer links to the hub-only `apps/cli/docs/json-output.md`; it was the skill’s only relative link outside its own tree, so the standalone copy published to Unity-Technologies/skills is now self-contained. +- **Template selection defaults to URP.** The bootstrap workflow in `SKILL.md` and the Templates section of `projects-templates.md` now name `com.unity.template.urp-blank` (Universal 3D) and `com.unity.template.universal-2d` (Universal 2D) as the defaults, mark `com.unity.template.3d` / `com.unity.template.2d` as the Built-in Render Pipeline templates (deprecated from 6.5, removed in 6.7), and note that `renderPipeline` is blank for `universal-2d` in `templates list` output. Every `projects create` / `projects new` / `templates info` example now uses `urp-blank`. Previously the skill's examples all used the Built-in `com.unity.template.3d` and said the URP id “varies by version”. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.9` (2026-09-08) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.9` release. Several pieces of this release's surface were already documented ahead of it landing in the shipped binary — `unity version`, `unity test --affected`, and the `--child-modules`/`--list-modules` spellings — and needed no change here. This pass documents the rest of the shipped surface for the first time. + +### Added + +- **`unity skill show`** — read the embedded skill (or one of its reference files) straight to stdout, with `--list` and `--path `, without installing anything. Documented in `integration-advanced.md`, alongside `skill install`/`refresh`. +- **A `unity plugin` reference section**, new — this command family (`install`/`remove`/`upgrade`/`list`/`changelog`) shipped across earlier releases (`install`/`remove`/`upgrade` in `1.0.0-beta.7`) but had never had a dedicated write-up beyond a passing mention of `plugin install plastic`. Added now because `plugin upgrade`'s real version-comparison behavior and the new `plugin changelog ` needed somewhere to live, and documenting them in isolation without the surrounding command family would have been more confusing than useful. +- **`--color ` / `--no-color`** — the new global flag, added to the global-flags table. +- **`unity auth consumers`** / **`unity auth revoke `** — list and manage the applications using this machine's Unity sign-in through the auth broker. +- **`unity config get|set|list|unset `** — the generic key-value interface over the existing `proxy` / `proxy.bypass` / `accelerator` / `update-check` settings, documented in `config-hub.md` alongside the purpose-built subcommands it shares storage with. +- **`unity doctor`'s bundled third-party components section** — noted as a one-paragraph addition to the existing Doctor writeup; it's informational, not a check, so it didn't need more than that. +- The always-on `cli telemetry` usage ping, the sign-in token store's machine-sealing, and the self-installed-vs-Homebrew PATH-conflict warning — each is a background/security behavior with no new command surface, so each got a sentence in the relevant existing section (Analytics, SKILL.md's Notes, and Self-update respectively) rather than a section of its own. +- **"Sandboxed agent tooling can hide a running Editor"**, a new `integration-advanced.md` section under `status`, plus a matching callout in SKILL.md. Interim guidance: a restrictive sandbox around an agent's own shell commands can make `unity status`/`command`/`list` report no reachable Editor even when one is genuinely running, on Windows (a separate restricted account can't read the Editor's discovery file) and macOS (a network sandbox can block the loopback connection to it). Says plainly not to conclude the Editor is down from that alone, and never to suggest disabling the sandbox. Superseded once the CLI itself reports this case with its own distinct message — this section says so and should shrink to match at that point. + +### Changed + +- **Extended the sandboxed-agent guidance into the scene/GameObject/asset editing workflow.** The "Sandboxed agent tooling can hide a running Editor" note (added above) was previously reachable only from the top-of-skill "Drive a running Editor" quickstart. The `unity status`-first Common workflow — the section that actually fires before any scene/GameObject/prefab/asset edit — had no mention of it, so a sandboxed agent hitting a false "no Editor" there had nothing telling it to doubt that result. Observed in the wild: a Codex-sandboxed agent took a `unity status` false negative at face value and improvised an undocumented headless-Editor workaround instead of saying so and falling back to a disclosed file edit, producing an asset that wasn't actually materialized until a later build ran. The workflow now rules out Safe Mode and sandbox interference side by side before permitting the file-edit fallback, and `integration-advanced.md`'s own guidance now names the improvised-workaround failure mode explicitly, not just silent file-editing. +- Command index (SKILL.md) and global-flags/environment tables refreshed for the above. +- `unity install`/`install-modules`'s child-modules flag examples now lead with `--child-modules`/`--no-child-modules` (matching `unity editors module add`), noting the old `--cm`/`--no-cm` shorts still work. +- `unity modules list`'s column table now names the last column `Aliases` (renamed from `downloaderName` in `--format json`). +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.9`. + +### Deferred + +- The `unity config accelerator` / `--accelerator` / `unity diagnose accelerator` feature itself is still `[Unreleased]` in the CLI's own changelog as of this release — despite the skill already documenting it from an earlier ahead-of-release pass. Left as-is (documenting a subset of the shipped surface is safe); this stamp does not newly assert that feature shipped. +- Auth broker client libraries (the .NET/TypeScript SDKs for other products to use Unity sign-in) are not `unity` CLI commands, so nothing in this skill changes for them. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.8` (2026-09-01) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.8` release, which supersedes the withdrawn `1.0.0-beta.7`. That release reached the production beta channel and was pulled the same day, so beta.8 is what actually carries its surface to users, and this stamp moves on from `1.0.0-beta.6`, which is what the channel served in between. Everything the skill already documents stays accurate. Two additions extend the `unity vcs` provider layer that the beta.7 note below recorded as public but not yet documented: repository creation and readiness reporting through Bitbucket's `bkt` and Azure DevOps' `az`. Both are deferred to that same alignment pass rather than documented piecemeal here. Also deferred, for the same reason: `unity skill install --local` now mirroring the agent skill a project's `com.unity.pipeline` package ships, and `unity install --format json` printing on success the same result envelope the NDJSON `result` frame already carried. The rest of the release is Windows elevation and install fixes that change no flag or exit code this skill documents. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.7` (2026-08-25) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.7` release. The surface this release ships that the skill already documents landed with the feature PRs themselves: `unity vcs uvcs locks` and `unity vcs uvcs changesets`, the per-organization default cloud project (`unity cloud project set-default` / `current` / `clear-default` and the project-resolution fallback), the long-output pager, and `unity plugin install` / `remove` / `upgrade`. The release's new `unity vcs` verb family (`setup`, `status`, `sync`, `doctor`, `merge-setup`, `conflicts` / `explain` / `resolve`, `diff`, `summarize`, `hooks`, `git worktree`, `git migrate-lfs`, `providers`, `affected`, `switch`) is now public but not yet documented by this skill — that coverage follows as its own alignment pass. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.6` (2026-08-19) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.6` release. Most of this release's surface — `unity doctor --ci`, `unity cache key`, `--format github`, `unity test --shard`, and `unity collaboration` — landed already documented in `1.0.0-beta.5`'s reference files ahead of that release's stamp bump. This pass adds the two pieces that were still outstanding: the `unity build` stall heartbeat and `--timeout`, and the `unity open` background identity server plus the new git-credential interactivity gating. + +### Added + +- **`unity build --timeout ` (env `UNITY_BUILD_TIMEOUT`) and the stall heartbeat** — documented in the build options table and as its own note: a long build now prints a periodic "Still building — Nm elapsed, last log output Nm ago" heartbeat (on stderr for the human path, as progress frames under `--format json`/`ndjson`), and `--timeout` aborts a build that runs past the given number of seconds, exit 6. +- **`unity open`'s background identity server** — a small helper that answers the Editor's account lookup from the stored `unity auth login` session, so a Hub-less machine gets a signed-in Editor. Documents that it steps aside for a real Hub, exits on its own, and can be disabled with `UNITY_NO_EDITOR_IDENTITY_SERVER`. +- **Git credential interactivity gating** — the CLI now decides up front whether anyone is there to answer a credential prompt. Documented alongside the existing token-resolution order: on a real terminal a configured helper (including Git Credential Manager's browser/device-code flows) runs and is relayed; without one — CI, machine `--format`, `--non-interactive` — the command fails immediately with exit 4 instead of hanging, naming the missing credential. + +### Changed + +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.6`. +- **Corrected the pager documentation** to describe the one surface that actually pages. The `git log`-style external pager recorded under Added in the `1.0.0-beta.5` notes below was never ported to the shipped binary — nothing spawns `less`, `more.com`, `$PAGER`, or `$UNITY_PAGER` — so the resolution chain, the `TERM=dumb` and `unity shell` conditions, and the five paging listings (`unity command`, `releases`, `editors`, `changelog`, `logs`) never applied; those listings print in full every time. What does page is `unity projects list`, in-process and on a terminal only, ten projects per screen, and off for redirected stdout, `--format json`/`ndjson`, `--all`, `--watch`, and `--no-pager` / `UNITY_NO_PAGER` — but not `--format tsv` or `--format github`, which on a terminal fall through to the human table and page, so the tables no longer claim that every machine format bypasses the pager. The global flags and environment tables now say that, and `UNITY_PAGER` is documented as having no effect. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.5` (2026-08-13) + +Aligned to the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.5` release. That release is fixes only — it adds no command, flag, or exit code. This pass instead closes the documentation gap the previous one left open: every item the `1.0.0-beta.4` note listed as deferred is now documented, so the skill covers the full shipped surface of both releases. + +### Added + +- **`unity editors prune`** — find editors no registered project uses and optionally uninstall them. Report-only by default; `--remove` uninstalls, and `-y, --yes` is required to do so non-interactively. Notes that "unused" is judged against the project registry, so an unregistered project's editor counts as unused. +- **`unity editors verify `** — structurally verify an installed editor's files and modules, reporting each component as `ok` / `missing` / `skipped` with the exact repair command. Documented as a structural check (presence, not integrity or signing), and that `--architecture` is inherited from the `editors` parent. +- **`unity projects clean`** — delete a project's regenerable folders (`Library`, `Temp`, `Logs`, …). Documents `--dry-run`, that `--yes` is required non-interactively, and the two guardrails: it refuses while an editor has the project open (naming the PID) and rejects a path that isn't a Unity project. +- **`unity templates pack`** — pack a project into a portable `.tgz`, with the distinction from `templates create` stated up front (`pack` writes a standalone archive and registers nothing; `create` installs into the user templates directory). Covers the required `--output` file path, the `--template-version` spelling that avoids the global `--version` collision, and the rejection of an output path inside the project being packed. +- **`unity command` listing-query flags** — `--detail`, `--query`, `--tag`, `--group_by`, `--sort`, `--order`, `--offset`, `--limit` as a table with values and defaults, plus the two traps: `--group_by` is deliberately underscored, and the flags only mean "listing" when no command name is given (with a name they forward to that Pipeline command as parameters, which is why each takes an optional value). +- **Multi-account auth** — `unity auth list` (with its `ls` alias), `switch`, and `default` (`--project`, `--clear`), plus `auth logout `. Documents the precedence that makes these predictable: a project default beats the active account, and service-account credentials beat both; `switch` fails on an ambiguous match rather than guessing, carrying candidates in `data.candidates`. +- **The output pager** — documented in the global flags and environment tables (`--no-pager`, `UNITY_NO_PAGER`, `UNITY_PAGER`) with the `git log` model spelled out: which commands page, the `$UNITY_PAGER` → `$PAGER` → `less -RFX` → `more.com` resolution chain, and the conditions under which paging never happens (non-TTY, machine formats, `--quiet`, `TERM=dumb`, inside `unity shell`) so scripts need no special handling. +- **`unity skill install` / `refresh`** — install this skill into an AI client from the copy embedded in the binary, framed against `mcp configure` (tools vs. docs). Covers the client list, `--list` as the authority on which scopes each client supports, and that `refresh` should follow `unity upgrade` because installed copies otherwise go stale. + +### Changed + +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.5`. +- Command index: added `editors prune`/`verify`, `projects clean`, `templates pack`, `auth list`/`switch`/`default`, and `skill install`/`refresh`. Also dropped one listed subcommand that is not part of the public surface. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.4` (2026-08-06) + +Tracks the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.4` release. Coverage is the full `1.0.0-beta.3` surface plus the beta.4 additions an automation or CI caller reaches for first: `unity test --report-format`/`--coverage`, `unity build --profile` and the zero-code build strategies, `unity projects exec`, `unity bug --attachments`/`--share-project`, and the rule that a failure is readable from stdout. The rest of beta.4 was deferred to a later pass and is documented under `1.0.0-beta.5` above: `unity skill install`/`refresh`, `unity projects clean`, `unity editors prune`/`verify`, `unity templates pack`, the `unity command` listing-query flags, multi-account auth (`unity auth list`/`switch`/`default`), and the output pager. Documenting a subset of the shipped surface is safe; the stamp exists to stop the reverse (publishing surface that isn't in the shipped binary). + +### Added + +- **`unity bug --attachments ` / `--share-project `** — attach extra files (each must be an existing readable file; a folder is rejected), or a stripped copy of the project using the same packaging the Editor's bug reporter uses. Interactively, omitting both flags makes the reporter ask about each. +- **`unity test --report-format nunit|junit|nunit,junit`** — write a JUnit-schema report that GitHub Actions and GitLab ingest as native test results, with no converter step. `junit` alone makes `--output` the JUnit file; `nunit,junit` writes both from a single Editor run, the JUnit one landing beside the NUnit report. `--junit-output` chooses that second path and is valid **only** with `nunit,junit`; passing it with a single format is an option error. The report is written even when tests fail, and the NUnit default is unchanged. +- **`unity test --coverage`** (with `--coverage-output`, `--coverage-options`) — collect coverage through the Unity Code Coverage package. A project without the package gets a warning and the tests still run. +- **`unity build --profile ` and the zero-code build strategies** — documented the three ways to pick a build: a Unity 6+ Build Profile (a `.asset` path or a profile name under `Assets/Settings/Build Profiles`, which defines the target), a built-in desktop player build (`--target` plus a required `--output-path`), or a custom `--execute-method`. `--execute-method` is no longer required, and `--target` is not needed when `--profile` is used. Non-desktop targets still need `--profile` or `--execute-method`. +- **`unity projects exec -- `** — run one command across every registered project, each in its own directory with `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` and `UNITY_EDITOR_VERSION` set. Narrow the set with repeatable `--filter` terms (`name:`, `version:`, `pinned[:]`), raise concurrency with `--parallel `, and use `--continue-on-error` or `--dry-run`. Arguments are passed verbatim rather than through a shell, so pipes and `&&` are unavailable. +- **`unity run --command` worked example** — a `[CliCommand]` source snippet with the human output it produces and the `--format json` envelope beside it (`data.result`, `data.parameters`, and `data.reusedRunningEditor`, which reports whether an already-open Editor was reused). + +### Changed + +- **Read failures from stdout, not stderr** — documented the machine-format failure contract. Under `--format json` a failed command still writes a full envelope (`success: false` and a populated `errors` array whose `errors[0].code` is the stable token to branch on); under `--format ndjson` it closes with the usual terminal `result` frame. `data` is usually `null` on a failure but not always, so branch on `success`, never on `data`: a partial `unity editors add` failure carries a row per path, and an ambiguous `unity auth switch` carries `data.candidates`. Empty stdout is not a failure signal, and the commands that still report only on stderr are called out as a known gap rather than a shape to code against. +- **Reserved forwarded flags** — matching is spelling-insensitive, so `-projectPath`, `--projectPath`, and `-projectPath=` are all rejected, on every command that forwards user arguments (`unity run`, `unity test`, `unity build --args`, `unity open --args`). Also clarified that `unity run` deliberately never passes `-useHub`/`-hubIPC`, because the CLI runs no Hub IPC server and those flags would make the Editor launch the Unity Hub. +- **`unity mcp configure --local`** — corrected the client list. The clients with a project-local config are `cursor`, `vscode`, `vscode-insiders`, `kiro`, and `codex`. Windsurf reads one global file and has no project-local variant. +- **`UNITY_NO_ELEVATE` / `--no-elevate`** — corrected to say it keeps the install service unelevated. The Editor's NSIS installer is manifested `highestAvailable`, so it still asks for elevation on demand under an administrator account and never does for a standard user; in CI, run the agent elevated instead. +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.4`. + +### Security + +- **Install integrity stated, and scoped** — the install script verifies the downloaded binary against the SHA-256 published in the channel's release manifest and aborts on mismatch, or when no SHA-256 tool is available. Because the manifest is fetched from the same CDN origin as the binary, this is described as an integrity check against a corrupted, truncated, or substituted *download*, not a defense against a compromise of the origin; the trust assumption (TLS plus Unity's control of that CDN) is stated explicitly. +- **Linux install side effects split by package** — the CDN script installs a self-contained binary under `~/.local/bin` and touches no system package sources. The separately published packages do change system state, and differently: the `.deb` adds an apt repository entry and installs Unity's signing key into the system keyring, while the `.rpm` adds a yum repository entry with `gpgcheck` enabled pointing at the published key URL and imports no key at install time. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.3` (2026-07-24) + +Tracks the CLI's `1.0.0-beta.3` release. The CLI's own `[Unreleased]` changes at the time (detached command jobs — `unity command --detach`, `unity job wait/status/cancel` — and live in-terminal progress for `unity command`) were intentionally **not** documented in this pass: they weren't in the shipped `1.0.0-beta.3` binary. They shipped in `1.0.0-beta.4`, documented above. + +### Added + +- **`unity editors running`** — list running Editor instances and the project each has open (version + PID; cross-platform; an empty list is exit 0). +- **`unity projects size [project]`** — on-disk footprint by top-level folder (`-a, --all`; `--json` emits raw bytes). +- **`unity run --command `** — execute a registered `[CliCommand]` Editor command headlessly (arguments after `--` parsed against its `[CliArg]` schema; requires `com.unity.pipeline`). +- **`unity install --list-components`** — list an editor's available modules and exit (a drop-in alias for `unity modules list `). +- **`unity bug` non-interactive flags** — `--title`, `--description`, `--steps` (repeatable), `--reproducibility `, `--email`. +- **`unity shell`** — command-history persistence (↑/↓; secret-bearing flag values masked on disk), tab completion, session context/defaults (`use project|org`, `set format|verbose|banner`, `unset`, `context`), and the `--protocol ndjson` machine/agent mode. +- Environment variables **`UNITY_NO_CONSENT_PROMPT`** (suppress the first-run consent prompt without recording a choice) and **`UNITY_NO_CRASH_REPORT`** (disable anonymous crash/error reporting). +- Global **`--json`** shorthand (accepted on every command) in the global-flags table. +- OSC 9;4 taskbar progress note for `unity install` on interactive terminals. +- **Driving a running Editor** — three patterns: **persistent headless** (launch the Editor binary in `-batchmode` *without* `-quit`; it stays resident and serves the Pipeline API — drive it with `unity command`/`list` --project-path), **warm/interactive** (`unity open`, which registers with `unity status` as `ready`), and **one-shot CI** (`unity run --command ` boots a batch Editor, runs one command, exits). Notes that a bare `unity run` is *not* persistent (batch runs to completion and exits) and — verified — that a batch-mode Editor serves commands but is **not** listed by `unity status`. Closes a gap where the Connected Editors section assumed a running Editor without saying how to get one. +- **Authoring custom `[CliCommand]` tools** — `[CliCommand]` / `[CliArg]` in the `Unity.Pipeline.Commands` namespace (assembly `Unity.Pipeline`), with `MainThreadRequired` / `RuntimeOnly` as **named properties on `[CliCommand]`** (not separate attributes); worked example, and hot-registration via `unity command recompile` → `unity list`. +- **Editor-side `eval` / `eval_file`** — noted the runtime-discoverable production path via `unity command eval` / `unity command eval_file`, discovered from the connected Editor. +- **Live-Editor control surfaced up front** — the skill `description` now advertises controlling a running/connected Editor (create/modify GameObjects, edit scenes, inspect the hierarchy, run C#) so agents pick the skill for scene/GameObject prompts, and a new top-of-skill **"Drive a running Unity Editor"** quickstart shows the minimal `unity status` → `unity command` path ahead of the install steps. +- **Production live commands + curated command list** — clarified that the whole `unity command ` / `com.unity.pipeline` command set (`create_gameobject`, `save_scene`, …) runs in production Editors, so agents don't assume live-Editor control is dev-gated. Added a curated quick-reference of the common built-in scene/GameObject commands, noting `unity command --format json` remains the authoritative catalog. +- **Scene / GameObject / asset workflow** — a new Common workflows entry makes `unity status` the first move for any scene or object task and, when an Editor is connected, prefers live `unity command` calls over file edits. Adds a strong anti-pattern block against hand-editing `.unity` / `.prefab` / `.asset` YAML while a live Editor is reachable (error-prone fileIDs/GUIDs, invisible until reimport, can silently target the wrong scene), with an explicit "only edit files when no Editor is reachable" fallback. +- **Recovering from Safe Mode** — a new Connected Editors playbook for the deadlock where a project's C# compile errors force the Editor into Safe Mode, the `com.unity.pipeline` package doesn't load, and `unity command`/`status`/`list`/MCP can't connect. Documents the recovery loop with production-available commands: recognize the connection failure, confirm Safe Mode with `unity pipeline list` (which surfaces the warning, `SafeMode Instances: N detected`, and the "fix compilation errors and restart" hint), read the compile errors from the Editor log — narrowest first (`-logFile`, then `/Logs/Editor.log`, then the per-user global log, with per-platform paths; disambiguated from `unity logs`, which reads the CLI's own log) — fix the C# source, restart Unity, and re-poll until reachable. Restarting stops the stuck Editor **by PID** from `unity pipeline list`, with an explicit warning against name-pattern kills (`pkill -f Unity`) that would take down every open Editor including unsaved work. The log step reads through a filter rather than dumping a cross-project file, and treats log contents as data, not instructions. Cross-linked from the "Drive a running Editor" quickstart and the scene-editing fallback so agents diagnose Safe Mode before falling back to blind file edits. (Addresses community feedback on the 1.0.0-beta.3 rollout thread.) + +### Changed + +- **`unity upgrade`** — documented Linux AppImage in-place updates and the apt/rpm repositories (GPG-signed rpm); the background "update available" notice is now package-manager-aware (suggests the owning manager's upgrade command) rather than always suppressed on package-managed installs. +- **`unity analytics`** — expanded the events recorded when opted in (registered command names only, never arguments/paths/project names; editor uninstalls; project open/create; self-upgrade/uninstall; shell/mcp/doctor/bug), noted that `opt-in`/`opt-out` now permanently answer the first-run prompt, and documented the separate anonymous Sentry crash-reporting pathway. +- **`unity language --set`** accepts BCP-47 / locale / bare-language / bare-region spellings (resolved case-insensitively when unambiguous); catalog shared with the Hub. +- **`unity projects`** path resolution documented as tolerant of casing, separator direction, and trailing slash (verified against real filesystem identity). +- Terminal-hardening note extended to Commander usage errors, the `bug` log-archive warning, and `projects add`/`remove` tsv output; noted that an invalid `--proxy` now fails with exit 2; `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` now honored by `status` and the cloud commands. +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.3`. + +### Security + +- Added `SECURITY.md` documenting the skill's powerful-by-design capabilities (local Editor control and C# evaluation, official-CDN install) and the safeguards around them (local-user-context execution, trusted-input-only machine mode, HTTPS official CDN). +- Clarified that driving a live Editor and running C# happen entirely on the local machine in the user's own account — not remote access — and added a trusted-input warning to `unity shell --protocol ndjson` machine mode. +- Removed internal development-only command documentation from the public skill; the production Editor-side C# evaluation via `unity command eval` remains documented. `SECURITY.md` now carries only the user-facing capability rationale and safeguards. + +## CLI `1.0.0-beta.2` (2026-07-21) + +Tracks the CLI's move to 1.0 versioning (`1.0.0-beta.1` re-baseline) and `1.0.0-beta.2`. The CLI's own `[Unreleased]` changes at the time (e.g. the universal `--json` shorthand) were intentionally not documented in this section — they weren't in the shipped `1.0.0-beta.2` binary (they shipped in `1.0.0-beta.3`, documented above). + +### Added + +- **`unity shell`** — interactive REPL that boots the CLI once and runs many commands in a warm process (enter commands without the `unity` prefix; `exit` / `quit` / Ctrl-D to leave). +- **`unity list`** — top-level discovery of a connected Editor's registered tools (name, description, group, parameter schema); introspection-only companion to `unity command`. +- **`unity diagnose proxy`** — redacted, paste-safe proxy diagnostic report for support (`--json`; a copy is written to the logs dir). +- **`unity pipeline upgrade`**, **`unity pipeline list-versions`**, and **`unity pipeline install --package-version `** — upgrade the Pipeline package only when the registry is newer, list all published versions, and pin a specific version. Documented that the flag is `--package-version` (not `--version`, which collides with the global `-V, --version`), and the multi-editor selection behavior. +- **`unity editor module remove` / `unity editors module remove`** — remove installed modules by id (`-m`, repeatable; `-y`, `-a`). +- **`unity install-modules`** `--reinstall`, `-f` / `--force`, and `--retries ` (env `UNITY_INSTALL_RETRIES`); **`--no-elevate`** (env `UNITY_NO_ELEVATE`, Windows) on `install` / `install-modules`. +- Global **`--log-proxy` / `--no-log-proxy`** (env `UNITY_LOG_PROXY`) — per-request redacted proxy logging. +- **`unity doctor`** environment health checks (PATH presence, `unity`-binary shadowing, Windows long-path support). +- Exit code **`143`** (SIGTERM) in the exit-code table. + +### Changed + +- **`--instance ` removed** from `unity command`, `unity mcp` — the CLI discovers running Editors itself; target via the project directory or `--project-path`. +- **Exit codes** — the `cloud` / `auth` commands map an auth failure to `3` and any other operational failure to `6` (previously `1`); `unity build` interrupts exit `130` (SIGINT) / `143` (SIGTERM). +- **`unity license`** recognizes service-account sessions (`status` reports "Signed in: yes (service account)"); `activate` default/`--personal` fail up front for service accounts, pointing to the unattended modes; `return` now returns serial-activated licenses too, with per-license partial results. +- **`unity install` / `install-modules`** continue past a failed item and report a per-item result (✓/✗/·), with an `items[]` breakdown in NDJSON. +- **`unity upgrade`** detects package-manager installs (points at the owning manager instead of self-replacing); the "update available" notice is suppressed there. +- **`unity analytics`** first-run prompt now requires an explicit `y`/`n` (Enter re-asks); **`unity language`** dropped the regional variants Spanish (Latin America), French (Canada), and Portuguese (Portugal). +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `1.0.0-beta.2`; noted the move to 1.0 versioning at `1.0.0-beta.1`. + +## CLI `0.1.0-beta.8` (2026-06-25) + +### Added + +- **MCP server** — `unity mcp` (built-in Model Context Protocol stdio server + exposing a connected Editor's commands as tools) and + `unity mcp configure ` (one-step config for 16 AI clients: `claude`, + `claude-code`, `cursor`, `vscode`, `vscode-insiders`, `copilot-cli`, + `windsurf`, `cline`, `codex`, `kiro`, `trae`, `openclaw`, `antigravity`, + `zed`, `continue`, `inspect`; with `--list`, `--local`, `--project-path`, + `--yes`, `--dry-run`). +- **`unity editors upgrade [editor]`** — upgrade an installed editor to the + newest f-channel patch in its `major.minor` line, carrying modules over; + `--all`, `--replace` (`--remove-old`), `--dry-run` (`--check`), `--no-modules`, + `--module`, `--architecture`, `--yes`, `--accept-eula`. Documented the + explicit `editors list` subcommand and the new "Upgrade to" column on + `editors --installed`. +- **`unity config update-check`** and the `UNITY_NO_UPDATE_CHECK` env var, plus + the background "update available" notice. +- `unity command screenshot` example (a command forwarded to the Editor). + +### Changed + +- **`pipeline`, `command`, and `status` promoted from development-only to + production.** They now talk to any running Editor, and the Pipeline package + (`com.unity.pipeline`) resolves from the **Unity UPM registry** into + `Packages/manifest.json` — no internal-network clone or SSH. Moved into a new + "Connected Editors" section; dropped `--ssh` / `--install-samples` / + `--install-tests` from `pipeline install`; corrected the `command` aliases to + `cmd`, `request`. +- **Auth:** the CLI and the Hub now store sign-in credentials **separately** + (previously a shared keyring session). +- **`unity license list`** now reports a clear error and a non-zero exit when + the licensing client is unavailable (previously an empty list). +- **`unity bug`** collects the same diagnostic system information as the Hub bug + reporter (including GPU details). +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `0.1.0-beta.8`. + +### Removed + +- **`unity implode`** — removed (use `unity self-uninstall`). +- Dropped some no-longer-existent command wrappers. + +## CLI `0.1.0-beta.7` (2026-06-17) + +### Added + +- **License management** (`unity license`) — `list`, `status`, `activate` + (`--serial` / `--personal` / `--floating` / `--file` / `--generate-request`, + mutually exclusive modes), `return`, and `server list|status`. Documented the + expected exit codes (`4` when no license / floating server is configured). +- **`unity hub install`** — bootstrap Unity Hub from the CLI, with + `--force`, `--headless` (Windows), `--architecture`, `--hub-version`, and + `--skip-signature-check`; documented SHA-512 + code-signature fail-closed + verification. +- **`unity test`** — run EditMode/PlayMode tests via the Editor's built-in test + runner, with `--mode`, `--filter`, `--output`, `--editor-version`, + `--editor-path`, `--architecture`, `--allow-install`, and `--timeout` + (`UNITY_TEST_TIMEOUT`). +- **`unity editors path `** — print an installed editor's directory + (local, offline); clarified its distinction from `editors install-path`. +- **Projects source control & cloud** — `unity projects clone`, + `projects link cloud|vcs`, `projects unlink cloud|vcs` (`--unlink-workspace`), + and the full source-control flag set on `projects create` / `link vcs` + (`--vcs`, `--git-namespace`, `--git-repo`, `--git-visibility`, + `--git-default-branch`, `--git-token` / `--git-token-stdin`, + `--no-initial-commit`, `--git-lfs`, `--vcs-region`). Also `projects create + --cloud` / `--cloud-project`, and `--template` accepting a `.tgz`/directory. +- **`unity build` Android signing & export** — `--android-export-type`, + `--android-keystore-base64`, `--android-keystore-password`, + `--android-key-alias`, `--android-key-alias-password`, + `--android-target-sdk-version`, `--android-symbol-type`, + `--android-version-code`. +- New env vars `UNITY_TEST_TIMEOUT` and `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG`; new exit code `4` + (precondition not met). +- Notes on the branded landing-surface header, the CLI's own `cli-log.json`, + shared keyring sign-in with Hub, manifest-driven per-module install commands, + partial-download self-heal, and terminal output hardening. + +### Changed + +- **Corrected command availability.** Commands previously presented as generally + available were regrouped; several are not part of the published CLI's `--help`. + (`pipeline`, `command`, and `status` were later promoted to production in + `0.1.0-beta.8`.) +- `unity templates edit` expanded with its full editable-field flag set and the + "at least one field required" rule. +- Refreshed the latest-version note to `0.1.0-beta.7`. + +## CLI `0.1.0-beta.6` — prior baseline + +The previous skill revision documented CLI `0.1.0-beta.6`: Unity Cloud +(`unity cloud …`), proxy support (`unity config proxy`, `--proxy`, +`--proxy-disable`), analytics consent (`unity analytics …`), custom templates +(`templates create|edit|delete|location`, `--type`), `unity status`, +and build versioning (`--versioning-strategy`, +`--build-version`). diff --git a/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SECURITY.md b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SECURITY.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6dc73088 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SECURITY.md @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +# Security notes — unity-cli skill + +This skill documents the official first-party [`unity` CLI](https://public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com/hub/prod/cli/). A few of its capabilities are powerful by design and are flagged by automated skill scanners. They are intentional, first-party functionality with the safeguards described below. + +## Accepted risks + +These capabilities are accepted by design. Each is documented in full in the sections below; this table is the explicit, human-readable acknowledgment. + +| Risk | Capability | Why it is accepted | +|---|---|---| +| `SEC_POWER_CAP` | Local Editor control and C# evaluation | Runs entirely on the local machine, as the current user, against the user’s own Editor — no remote access and no privilege the user lacks at their own terminal. | +| `SEC_INSTALL_PIPE` | Install one-liners piped to a shell | HTTPS to Unity’s first-party CDN only; the installer verifies a SHA-256 pin against a same-origin manifest before executing anything. | +| `SEC_AGENT_CONFIG_WRITE` | Writing agent skill files into AI clients’ configuration directories, turning an installed skill off or back on, and installing Unity’s own agent plugin into Claude Code, Codex, or Grok Build | Runs only on an explicit user command, is the command’s documented purpose, and is fenced by an ownership ledger — a copy this CLI did not write is never overwritten without `--force`, and the enable/disable verbs cannot act on one at all — plus symlink refusals and a warning before project-local installs from the home directory. The plugin install names one hardcoded first-party source, is performed by the agent’s own CLI (`claude`, `codex`, or `grok`) rather than by writing files, and reinstalls nothing. | + +## Reading an automated scanner's verdict on this skill + +The directive above records the risks this skill's maintainers have reviewed and accepted, for the repository's own validator. A scanner run elsewhere generally will not consult it, and will read the **whole folder** rather than the change in front of it. Both facts matter when you are looking at a verdict: + +- A verdict describes this skill's standing capabilities — the ones documented below — not whatever the current change happens to touch. A documentation-only edit can still draw a verdict, because the capabilities it is reacting to were already here. +- Verdicts from an AI classifier are a judgement, not a rule, and the same unchanged folder can be scored differently on different runs. Treat a single verdict as a prompt to check, never as a result on its own. + +So before acting on one, compare it against what actually changed. If the change introduces no capability beyond those accepted below, the verdict is re-deriving something already reviewed and recorded here — note that and move on. If it does introduce one, it needs a real review and an entry in this file, because this skill is published and shipped inside the CLI. + +## Accepted, by-design capabilities + +### Installing skills into AI clients + +`unity skill install` and `unity skill refresh` write skill files — this skill, and the `unity-pipeline` skill a project's `com.unity.pipeline` package ships — into AI clients' configuration directories, which automated scanners flag as an agent-persistence pattern. The writes happen only when the user runs the command (nothing installs at load or in the background), the capability is the command's advertised purpose, and it is fenced: an install ledger records every write and a directory this CLI did not write is reported, never overwritten, without explicit `--force` consent; targets that resolve through a symlinked path component are refused; a package-shipped tree is read with file-count, per-file, and aggregate size bounds and never through symbolic links; and `--local` from the home directory warns first. + +### Turning an installed skill off and back on + +`unity skill disable ` and `unity skill enable ` change whether a skill an AI client has already installed still loads. Disabling renames that skill's `SKILL.md` to `SKILL.md.disabled` inside its own directory and records the choice; enabling renames it back. Automated scanners flag this as skill suppression — a skill that can switch other skills off is a recognized malicious pattern, and reading it that way is correct as a default. Here it is the advertised purpose of a user-run command, and it is fenced: + +- **It can only reach installs this CLI itself recorded.** The set of skills these verbs can name comes entirely from the install ledger, so a skill this CLI did not install has no row, cannot be named, and cannot be found or touched. There is no path by which it disables a skill some other tool or the user placed. +- **Nothing runs at load or in the background.** Both verbs act only when the user runs them, on a skill the user names; `--dry-run` reports without touching the filesystem. +- **Nothing is deleted and no content is read or rewritten.** The only filesystem operation is renaming one fixed filename within the directory the ledger already records, so the skill's own files stay where they are and enabling restores the previous state exactly. +- **The paths are bounded the same way installs are.** The only path formed is the recorded install directory joined with a constant filename, that directory has already passed the ledger's absolute-path validation, and a target reached through a symlinked directory component is refused rather than followed — the same guard `install` and `refresh` apply. + +The capability exists because a skill costs context in every session of the client that discovered it, whether or not it is ever used, so a user who installed several needs a way to stop paying for the ones a given project does not need — without deleting files they would otherwise have to reinstall. + +### Installing Unity’s agent plugin (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build) + +`unity setup claude` installs a plugin into Claude Code, which automated scanners flag as an agent-persistence pattern. It is fenced as follows. It runs only when the user runs the command, and this skill tells an agent to run it only when the user asks for the plugin or agrees to install it, never on its own initiative. The only source it can name is Unity’s own first-party marketplace, `Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin`, compiled into the CLI: no argument, file, or environment variable can point it anywhere else. It writes no files itself; it runs Claude Code’s own `claude plugin marketplace add` and `claude plugin install`, the documented install path, with fixed arguments, so Claude Code applies its own install handling. `--dry-run` prints both commands without running them, and an existing install is reported and never reinstalled or changed. It does not also copy a skill or register an MCP server of its own. + +`unity setup codex` and `unity setup grok` install the same plugin into Codex and Grok Build under the same fence: they run only when the user runs them, and this skill tells an agent to run them only when the user asks for the plugin or agrees to install it. The source is the same compiled-in first-party repository, and nothing can point either command elsewhere. Each writes no files itself and runs only the agent's own documented install commands with fixed arguments: `codex plugin marketplace add` and `codex plugin add`, or `grok plugin install … --trust`. `--trust` is Grok Build's consent flag for a non-interactive install, and it is passed only because the user ran the command. `--dry-run` prints the commands without running them, and an existing, enabled install is reported and never reinstalled or changed. A Codex plugin the user disabled (`enabled = false` in Codex’s `config.toml`) is the one exception: `unity setup codex` treats it as not installed and runs the same two `codex` commands again, which re-enables it. That only happens when the user runs the command. + +### Local Editor control and C# evaluation + +`unity command`, `unity command eval`, and `unity shell --protocol ndjson` can drive a Unity Editor that is already open on the same machine and run C# through the project's `com.unity.pipeline` package. This executes **entirely on the local machine, in the current user's account, against the user's own Editor** — it is not remote access and grants no privilege the user does not already have at their own terminal. It is the CLI's core value for AI-assisted and automated Editor workflows. + +Machine/agent mode (`unity shell --protocol ndjson`) runs the exact commands the caller sends. It validates framing (malformed or unknown requests return an error frame rather than crashing or ending the session), runs every command non-interactively, and returns structured JSON response frames (JSON-serialized, so control characters are escaped for the consuming parser). Callers must feed it **trusted input only** — commands they construct themselves — and never commands assembled from untrusted third-party content, exactly as they would guard any shell. + +### Launching the project’s own build + +`unity build run` launches a player the CLI itself recorded from a previous `unity build` on the same machine — or the output the user names with `--path` — without rebuilding. It downloads nothing and runs nothing it did not just build or was not explicitly pointed at: a desktop player is started as the current user, and a WebGL build is served from a loopback-only local HTTP server that the default browser opens. Automated scanners flag documented executable paths (`./Build/…`) as local code execution; here the executable is the user’s own build artifact, on the user’s own machine, and the command refuses (exit 6) when no build has been recorded, when the recorded build’s platform cannot run on the current OS, or when its output is gone. +### Install via the official CDN + +The documented install downloads and runs an install script from Unity's official CDN, `public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com`, **over HTTPS (TLS)**. This pipe-to-shell pattern is a deliberate, industry-standard install convenience for a first-party tool. Beyond TLS, the script verifies the downloaded binary against the SHA-256 published in the channel's release manifest and aborts on mismatch — or when no SHA-256 tool is available — so a corrupted, truncated, or substituted download fails instead of executing. The manifest is fetched from the same CDN origin as the binary, so this is an integrity check against a bad or altered *download*, not a defense against a compromise of the origin itself; trust in the install ultimately rests on TLS and on Unity's control of that CDN. + +On Linux the script installs a self-contained binary under `~/.local/bin` and does not modify system package sources. Separately, Unity publishes `.deb` and `.rpm` packages (the `.rpm` is GPG-signed) to its official repositories, for users who prefer package-manager-managed updates. Installing either **does** change system state, and the two differ: + +- **Debian/Ubuntu (`.deb`, `apt`)** — adds a Unity apt repository entry and installs Unity's signing key into the system keyring (`/usr/share/keyrings`), so `apt` can verify and deliver subsequent updates. +- **RHEL/Fedora (`.rpm`, `dnf`)** — adds a Unity yum repository entry with `gpgcheck` enabled, pointing `dnf` at the published key URL. It imports no key at install time. diff --git a/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SKILL.md b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..7606cbe6 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,641 @@ +--- +name: unity-cli +description: Controls the Unity Editor and projects from the command line, driving a running Editor to edit scenes and assets or run C#.

For `unity command`/`list`/`job`/`mcp`, matching no running project fails with `AMBIGUOUS_EDITOR` and lists the candidates. [Details](references/integration-advanced.md#targeting-one-of-several-running-editors). + +**Working in several worktrees or agent sessions? One Editor per worktree.** Make each worktree with `unity vcs git worktree add --into `, so you choose where it lands. Its output masks the account name in a home-directory path, so don't copy a path from it. The Unity project is `` when it sits at the repository root, and `/` when it doesn't. Open that project's own Editor with `unity open `. Then set `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH=` for the session, once. `unity open`, `status`, `command`, `list`, `job` and `mcp` read it when you pass no path, so a forgotten `--project-path` still lands on your Editor. `recompile`, `close` and `mcp configure` don't read it: pass the path to those. Without the variable, a bare `unity open` opens the project of the current directory, which is still your source checkout. Target that Editor by the same full path every time, including `unity status --until-ready --project-path `. A path that exists matches only that project, while a bare name also matches a sibling whose path contains it. Never drive an Editor whose project is not your own checkout (or one of its Multiplayer Play Mode clones). An Editor open on a sibling worktree answers every command just like yours. A command sent there edits that checkout's scenes, and its Play mode, recompiles and imports run against that checkout's code. If your own Editor isn't open, open it. If it has gone away, tell the user rather than borrowing the one that is running. + +Requires the project's `com.unity.pipeline` package (Unity 6.0+) — add it once with `unity pipeline install`. Full details — launching a headless Editor to drive, `unity list` tool discovery, and authoring custom `[CliCommand]` tools — are in [integration-advanced.md](references/integration-advanced.md). + +The package also ships a deeper `unity-pipeline` agent skill, invisible to clients inside `Library/PackageCache` — in a project with the package, run `unity skill install --local` once to mirror it beside this skill. + +> **Can't connect / commands time out? Check for Safe Mode first.** When a project has C# compile errors, the Editor boots into **Safe Mode**, where the Pipeline package doesn't load — so `unity command`, `unity status`, `unity list`, and `unity recompile` can't connect at all. Note what that means for `unity recompile` specifically: it reports errors you introduce into an Editor that is **already running**, but an Editor that *started* with broken code never loads the package, so there is nothing to ask and it exits `7` rather than reporting the errors. Don't fall back to blind file-editing: run `unity pipeline list` to confirm, then fix the compile errors and restart Unity.

Say what you ran, what failed and what you already tried. Then offer to file it with `unity bug --area pipeline-package` (`--area editor` when the Editor itself quit or never started), and ask first: `unity bug` sends logs to Unity, so never run it on your own initiative. + +## Install the CLI (if not already installed) + +First check if the CLI is available: + +```bash +which unity && unity --version +``` + +If not found, install it: + +**macOS / Linux** +```bash +curl -fsSL https://unity.com/install.sh | bash +``` + +**Windows (PowerShell)** +```powershell +irm https://unity.com/install.ps1 | iex +``` + +After installing, open a new shell so `unity` is on PATH, then verify with `unity --version`.

Also via `UNITY_FORMAT` env var. | +| `--json` | Global shorthand for `--format json`, accepted on every command (e.g. `unity status --json`, `unity doctor --json`). `--format` takes precedence when both are supplied. | +| `--no-banner` | Suppress the branded header — use in scripts | +| `--no-pager` | Turn off paging. Governs both pagers: the external one over the long listings (`unity command`, `releases`, `editors`, `changelog`, `logs`) and the interactive one in `unity projects list`. Also via `UNITY_NO_PAGER` (presence-based — any value, including `0`, disables it). | +| `--non-interactive` | Disable all interactive prompts — use in CI | +| `--quiet` | Suppress non-essential output | +| `--verbose` | Print full error details (stack trace + cause chain) on failure. Also via `UNITY_VERBOSE`. | +| `--proxy ` | HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS/PAC proxy URL for this invocation. Also via `UNITY_PROXY`. Takes precedence over standard `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY`/`ALL_PROXY` env vars and the persisted `proxy.json` setting. | +| `--proxy-disable` | Disable proxy for this invocation, ignoring all sources (env vars, persisted config, system settings). | +| `--log-proxy` | Log one redacted entry per outbound request to `proxy-request.json` — for reproducing proxy issues. Also via `UNITY_LOG_PROXY=1` or the `proxyRequestLogging` setting. | +| `--no-log-proxy` | Opt a single invocation out of proxy request logging when it's enabled globally. | +| `--color ` | Control colored output for this invocation, overriding `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` and TTY auto-detection. Governs every ANSI-emitting surface (help, tables, spinners, errors), not just `human` output. | +| `--no-color` | Shorthand for `--color never`. Whichever of `--color`/`--no-color` appears last on the line wins. | + +**Always use `--format json` when you need to parse output programmatically.** + +`--accelerator ` and `--no-accelerator` are **not** root globals — they are accepted only on `run`, `test` and `build`, and only after the command name. See [build-run-test.md](references/build-run-test.md). + +**`unity projects list` is the only command that pages IN-PROCESS.** It shows 10 projects per screen and waits for a keypress between screens, and only when stdout is a terminal. Paging is off for redirected stdout, under `--format json` and `--format ndjson`, and under `--all`, `--watch`, or `--no-pager` / `UNITY_NO_PAGER`. + +**Not every machine format bypasses that one.** Only `json` and `ndjson` get their own non-interactive rendering; on a terminal, `--format tsv` and `--format github` fall through to the human table and page like `human` does — so `--format tsv` on a TTY yields neither TSV nor unpaged output. Redirect stdout (the usual case for a machine format) or pass `--no-pager`. Note this is the **opposite** of the external pager below, which is `human`-only: the two mechanisms differ here, and `projects list` is the surprising one. + +**The long listings page through an external pager, like `git log`.** `unity command` (the bare listing), `unity releases`, `unity editors`, `unity changelog`, and `unity logs` pipe human output through `less -RFX` on a terminal — colors kept, no screen clear, and `-F` quits by itself when the output already fits one screen, so short listings show no pager UI. `$UNITY_PAGER` then `$PAGER` override the choice and run through a shell, so `PAGER="less -S"` works; a blank value is ignored rather than treated as an opt-out. Quitting with `q` exits cleanly with the command's own exit code. Unlike `projects list`'s pager this one is **`human`-only**, and it never engages for redirected stdout, any machine format (`json`, `tsv`, `ndjson`, `github`), `--quiet`, `TERM=dumb`, the streaming modes (`editors --watch`, `logs --follow`), a named `unity command `, or inside `unity shell`. A broken pager costs the paging, not the output: a `$PAGER` naming something that is not there is resolved before anything spawns, and one that spawns and then dies has its output reprinted to the terminal, decided from the pager's exit status (a clean exit is a normal `q` and discards; a failure status reprints). The exception is a pager that exits *successfully* without reading — `PAGER=true`, or anything that lingers and then exits 0 — which nothing distinguishes from a `q`, and which `git` loses too. A pager that starts and merely *waits* is not treated as broken, so the CLI waits with it. + +A branded Unity header (logo, wordmark, CLI version) renders on the landing surfaces — bare `unity`, `unity --help` / `-h`, `unity help`, and above the first-run consent prompt. It's shown only on a TTY, prints at most once, and degrades to compact, uncolored text on narrow terminals, without Unicode, or under `NO_COLOR`. Piped output is unaffected. Use `--no-banner` to suppress it in scripts. Bare `unity` prints usage and exits 0. + +## Environment variables + +All CLI env vars use the `UNITY_` prefix. A CLI flag always overrides the corresponding env var. + +| Variable | Mirrors flag | Description | +|---|---|---| +| `UNITY_FORMAT` | `--format` | Output format (`human`, `json`, `tsv`, `ndjson`, `github`). `HUB_FORMAT` is a deprecated alias. | +| `UNITY_EDITOR_VERSION` | `--editor-version` | Editor version (e.g. `2023.3.0f1`, `latest`, `lts`). | +| `UNITY_ARCHITECTURE` | `--architecture` | Chip architecture (`x86_64`, `arm64`). | +| `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` | path argument | Project path when none is passed. Honored by `open` (and `projects open`), the Editor-connecting commands `status`, `command`, `list`, `job` and `mcp`, plus `pipeline install`/`upgrade` and the `collaboration` commands. Not read by `recompile`, `close` (and `projects close`), or `mcp configure`. | +| `UNITY_QUIET` | `--quiet` | Suppress non-essential output. | +| `UNITY_VERBOSE` | `--verbose` | Show full error details on failure. | +| `UNITY_NON_INTERACTIVE` | `--non-interactive` | Disable interactive prompts. | +| `UNITY_NO_BANNER` | `--no-banner` | Suppress the branded banner. | +| `UNITY_NO_PAGER` | `--no-pager` | Turn off paging — both the external pager over the long listings and `unity projects list`'s interactive one. Presence-based: any value counts, including `0`. | +| `UNITY_PAGER` | — | The pager to use for the long listings, overriding `$PAGER` and the `less -RFX` default. Runs through a shell, so flags work (`less -S`). A blank value is ignored, not an opt-out. | +| `PAGER` | — | Same as `UNITY_PAGER`, consulted only when that is unset or blank. | +| `LESS` / `LV` / `LESSCHARSET` / `MORE` | — | Passed to the pager only when you have not set them, defaulting to `FRX`, `-c`, `utf-8`, and `FRX`. `LESSCHARSET` keeps multi-byte glyphs readable where the locale does not declare UTF-8; `MORE` exists because `more` on macOS/BSD is `less` under another name and reads `$MORE`, so without it `PAGER=more` waits for a keypress even for one line. | +| `UNITY_RUN_TIMEOUT` | `--timeout` | Timeout for `unity run` in seconds. | +| `UNITY_TEST_TIMEOUT` | `--timeout` | Timeout for `unity test` in seconds. | +| `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG` | `--cloud-org` | Active Unity Cloud organization id or name for a single call. | +| `UNITY_CLOUD_PROJECT` | `--cloud-project` | Cloud project ID; used by Cloud Build inventory. Pipeline Automation inventory is organization-scoped. | +| `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID` | — | Service account client ID for non-interactive (CI) auth. | +| `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET` | — | Service account client secret for non-interactive (CI) auth. | +| `UNITY_PROXY` | `--proxy` | HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS/PAC proxy URL. Takes precedence over `HTTPS_PROXY`/`HTTP_PROXY`/`ALL_PROXY` and the persisted `proxy.json` setting. | +| `UNITY_NO_UPDATE_CHECK` | — | Disable the background "update available" check (see `unity config update-check`). | +| `UNITY_NO_CONSENT_PROMPT` | — | Suppress the one-time first-run analytics consent prompt *without* recording a choice — for wrapper scripts on an interactive terminal that must never absorb the prompt. Analytics stay off until you run `unity analytics opt-in`. Unlike `UNITY_NON_INTERACTIVE`, it changes nothing else about command behavior. | +| `UNITY_NO_CRASH_REPORT` | — | Disable anonymous crash/error reporting (Sentry) entirely. | +| `UNITY_LOG_PROXY` | `--log-proxy` | Log one redacted entry per outbound request to `proxy-request.json`. Truthy values: `1`, `true`. | +| `UNITY_ACCELERATOR` | `--accelerator` | Unity Accelerator endpoint (`host:port`). Outranks the persisted `accelerator.json`; `--accelerator` outranks it. | +| `UNITY_NO_ELEVATE` | `--no-elevate` | Windows: skip the elevated (UAC) install helper for `install` / `install-modules`, so the install service runs unelevated. The Editor's NSIS installer still asks for elevation on demand if Windows requires it for your account — an administrator token always does; a standard user never does. | +| `UNITY_INSTALL_RETRIES` | `--retries` (`install-modules` only) | Number of times `install` and `install-modules` retry an editor or module download whose transfer or validation fails. `0` disables retries; `unity install` has no `--retries` flag, so set the variable there. | +| `UNITY_NO_AUTH_BROKER` | — | Skip the resident auth broker and read credentials directly from the OS keyring. By default every command that needs a token goes through a broker that starts on demand and exits after two idle minutes (see [auth-license-cloud.md](references/auth-license-cloud.md)). | +| `UNITY_PEER_AUTH_MODE` | — | How the auth broker and the Editor identity helper verify a connecting process’s code signature. `enforce` is the default on macOS and Windows: an unsigned or non-Unity-signed peer is refused. `identify-only` logs without refusing — use it for an Editor or app you built from source. A broker started with it runs as a separate dev broker: its own address and its own sign-in, which you make once from the dev app that uses it (`unity auth login` signs in your normal store, which the dev broker never reads). Unity-signed apps are refused on macOS and Windows. Linux logs only unless set to `enforce` together with `UNITY_PEER_AUTH_LINUX_ALLOWED_HASHES` (comma-separated SHA-256 hashes of trusted executables). | +| `UNITY_CLI_HOME` | — | Install root for the install script and `unity self-install`, on every platform including Windows: the binary lands in `/bin` instead of the default location. | +| `UNITY_CLI_FTUE` | — | Agent first-session ("paved") mode. Any value except empty or `0` turns it on. Every `--format json` envelope and ndjson `result` frame then carries a top-level `"paved": true`, and `projects create` saves the choice to the new project's `UserSettings/UnityCliPaved.json`, so later commands run in that project are paved with no variable set. Nothing else changes. See [projects-templates.md](references/projects-templates.md). | +| `UNITY_NO_EDITOR_IDENTITY_SERVER` | — | Disable the background identity helper that `unity open` starts to answer the Editor’s sign-in lookups when no Hub is running (see [projects-templates.md](references/projects-templates.md)). Presence-based. | +| `UNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_FEX_EMU` | none | Linux arm64 only, experimental and unsupported: run the x86_64 Editor under FEX-Emu. `1`, `true` or `yes` turns it on, and it takes effect only when FEX-Emu and an x86_64 RootFS are installed (`unity doctor` checks). C# script compilation is known to crash under FEX-Emu. See [editors-install.md](references/editors-install.md). | + +**CI service account auth:** Set both `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID` and `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET` to skip the browser OAuth flow — this keeps the secret out of the process argument list and shell history. These map to the `--client-id` / `--secret-from-stdin` inputs of `unity auth login`, but reading the credentials from the environment isn't a full login: it doesn't run the interactive flow or persist credentials to the keyring. + +## Getting help + +Append `-h` or `--help` to any command or subcommand, at any level: `unity --help`, `unity projects create --help`. + +**Not sure which command does something?

(look for state "ready") +unity command # discover the scene/GameObject commands THIS Editor exposes +# then drive it with the commands it lists — for example, if your Editor exposes them: +unity command create_gameobject # act on the live, active scene +unity command save_scene # persist the active scene +``` + +Command names are defined by the Editor, so run `unity command` (or `unity list`) to see the exact set — don't assume a name. + +> **Never hand-edit `.unity`, `.prefab`, or `.asset` YAML while a live Editor is reachable.** Raw-file edits are: +> - **error-prone** — fileIDs and GUIDs are assigned by hand and easy to get wrong; +> - **invisible** to the running Editor until a reimport, so the change silently fails to take effect; and +> - **prone to hitting the wrong file** — e.g. writing to `SampleScene.unity` while the Editor's active scene is actually `Demo2.unity`, producing valid-looking YAML that changes nothing the user sees. + +**Rule out two false negatives before concluding no Editor is reachable — both look identical to a genuinely closed Editor, and both are easy to get wrong under time pressure:** + +- **Safe Mode.** If an Editor *is* running for this project but `unity status` / `unity command` won't connect, it may be stuck in **Safe Mode** from a compile error rather than genuinely absent. Run `unity pipeline list` — if it reports Safe Mode, editing the C# source to fix the compile errors (and then restarting Unity) *is* the correct move, not a fallback. See [integration-advanced.md → Recovering from Safe Mode](references/integration-advanced.md#recovering-from-safe-mode-connection-fails-because-of-compile-errors). +- **A sandboxed agent shell.** If your own shell commands run inside a restrictive sandbox — the normal case for a coding agent like this one — the sandbox can hide a genuinely running Editor from `unity status` the same way. This applies to **every** scene/GameObject/prefab/asset task that reaches this preflight, not only ones that obviously need a live Editor: a task you could otherwise finish without any CLI involvement (e.g. generating an asset through ordinary Editor APIs) can still get funneled into "no Editor" here and derailed. Don't treat "no instances" as proof the Editor is down, and don't quietly improvise a third path — like driving a separate headless Editor process to approximate what a live connection would have done — as a substitute for a disclosed file edit. Say plainly that your sandbox may be blocking your view of a real Editor, and ask whether one is actually open before falling back. Full detail: [integration-advanced.md → Sandboxed agent tooling can hide a running Editor](references/integration-advanced.md#sandboxed-agent-tooling-can-hide-a-running-editor). + +Only fall back to editing files directly once you've ruled out both of the above — and say so explicitly ("no live Editor detected, editing the file directly"). + +### Generate an asset, texture, sprite, image, or 3D model: check for the `ai` catalog plugin + +**Before approximating a "generate a texture/sprite/image/3D model for my project" request some +other way, check whether the Unity AI Generators plugin (`ai`) is installed.** It is Unity's own +catalog plugin for exactly this class of request, and using it is almost always the better answer. +The same three-step pattern below (recognize the intent, check the catalog, ask before installing) +applies to any catalog plugin the CLI ships, not only this one; `unity plugin list` always +reflects the full catalog, installed or not, so it is how you discover what else is available too. + +1. **Check whether it's installed.** + ```bash + unity plugin list --format json + ``` + Find the entry whose `id` is `"ai"` and read its `installed` field (`true` / `false`). + +2. **Not installed? Tell the user, then ask, never install silently.** Say plainly that Unity + ships an AI Generators plugin that covers this, and wait for a yes before running: + ```bash + unity plugin install ai + ``` + A refusal is a normal answer: fall back to whatever you would otherwise have done, and don't + ask again in the same conversation. + + `ai` is alpha, and during alpha it's gated to Unity staff on Unity's internal network. An + ordinary user's `unity plugin install ai` can fail with a **sign-in** message ("Unity AI + Generators is currently limited to Unity staff. Sign in with a Unity staff account…") or, once + past that, a plain **download failure** if the network it needs isn't reachable from where + you're running. Neither is a bug in the request: report the message and fall back, the same as + any other refusal. + +3. **Pick up its agent skill in the same session.** A catalog plugin can ship its own agent skill + inside its payload (`ai` does), and installing the plugin does not, by itself, make that skill + visible to you; it has to be mirrored the same way this skill itself is: + ```bash + unity skill install # e.g. claude-code, first time this session + unity skill refresh # already mirrored earlier? re-render it fresh + ``` + `unity plugin install`'s own last line already tells you which one applies: it points at + `unity skill install` right after installing a copy that ships a skill, and at + `unity skill refresh` once one is already mirrored but the plugin's copy just changed. Confirm + where it landed with `unity skill list --format json` (look for the row whose `skill` field + names the plugin's own skill, e.g. `unity-ai`, and read its `path`), then read that file before + driving the plugin's commands. Don't guess its command surface from this skill, which only + documents `unity` itself. + +**A command invoked before any of this** (`unity ai …` typed straight, or suggested from memory) +**fails with a clear, actionable message** naming the exact install command (`unity plugin install +ai`), in both human and machine (`--format json` / `--format ndjson`) output, under the stable +error code `TOOL_NOT_INSTALLED`. Read that message rather than guessing why the command did +nothing; the same shape (`TOOL_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM`, `TOOL_RUNTIME_NOT_INSTALLED`) covers the +two other reasons a catalog tool can't run. + +### Bootstrap a new project from scratch + +> For a **guided** end-to-end experience — concept questions, installing the Editor in the +> background while you plan, package selection, and monetization handoff — use the +> **`new-unity-project`** skill. This section is the raw CLI recipe that skill builds on; use it +> directly when you just want the commands. + +Take an idea to a running, version-controlled project using only the CLI. Decide the **target +platforms first** — they determine which Editor modules you install in step 2. You can add +modules later (`unity install-modules`), but a project can't build for a platform until that +platform's module is installed, so it's simplest to decide up front. + +```bash +# 1.

Pick and install an Editor with the modules your target platforms need. +# Default to the latest LTS (most stable, ~2 years of patches). Reach for a Tech-stream +# release (--stream tech) only for a feature not yet in LTS; treat --stream beta/alpha as +# evaluation-only, never for a project you intend to ship.

Each step can be +checked before the next one. A script run through `unity run -- -executeMethod` is the +**fallback** for when no Editor can stay open (CI, a headless build box). It can't see what it +produced: a reference saved as null, such as a `UIDocument` with no `PanelSettings`, still +reports success. If you do use batch mode, open the result in a live Editor and inspect it before +calling the work done. How to get an Editor to drive: +[integration-advanced.md → Getting an Editor to drive](references/integration-advanced.md#getting-an-editor-to-drive). + +**Source control — let the user choose.** The CLI publishes the new project to a fresh remote in +one step for any provider. **Always pass tokens on stdin** (`--git-token-stdin`) so secrets never +land in shell history or the process list.

Unity's own VCS, built for large binary game + assets: it handles them natively (**no LFS needed**) and supports file locking — often the + better fit for art-heavy projects or larger teams.

Those joins are the thing `cm` cannot do for you, and they come in a + stable envelope, so prefer them whenever something *parses* the output. +- **`unity uvcs `** forwards the whole command line to `cm` verbatim, `--help` and + `--format` included. That is the supported route, not a workaround: `cm` owns and versions this + vocabulary, so wrapping it would pin a paraphrase that goes stale. Reach for it for **partial + checkout**, **shelves**, and **taking or releasing a lock**, and when a human reads the output. + +```bash +unity vcs uvcs locks # who holds what, and what collides with your changes +unity uvcs lock list # the raw listing, cm's own flags and output +unity uvcs partial update /Assets/Levels # cm's own vocabulary, unchanged +unity uvcs shelve -c "wip: lighting pass" +``` + +Every verb, flag and trap: [version-control.md](references/version-control.md). + +`unity cm ` is the same passthrough under cm's own name. Both need the `cm` client; install +it with `unity plugin install plastic` if a command says it is missing. + +**Beyond setup, the `vcs` group covers the whole day-2 loop** — `status`, `sync`, `switch`, +`merge-setup`, `conflicts` / `explain` / `resolve`, `diff`, `blame`, `summarize`, `affected`, +`hooks`, `doctor`, `providers` — and the Unity semantics are the reason to reach for it over raw +`git`. Full reference, with the flags and the traps: +[version-control.md](references/version-control.md). + +**Git tokens belong to the user's credential manager, not the CLI.** When no token flag or env var +is given, the CLI asks `git credential fill` and uses whatever the configured helper returns; it +stores nothing it is passed or told. Don't suggest the CLI can save a Git token, and don't reach for +a token flag when the user already has a working credential helper. If they want a different token +per organization, that is `git config --global credential.useHttpPath true` plus a multi-account +helper such as [Git Credential Manager](https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager). +The CLI passes the full repo URL so the helper can discriminate, but it never installs or +reconfigures a helper. `UNITY_GITHUB_TOKEN` / `UNITY_GITLAB_TOKEN` are one token per provider, so a +CI job spanning several orgs should pass `--git-token-stdin` per invocation instead. See +[references/projects-templates.md](references/projects-templates.md) for the full +source-control flag set. For a purely local Git repository instead, initialize git with a +Unity-appropriate ignore so the multi-GB `Library/` and other generated folders are never committed: + +```bash +cd ~/UnityProjects/MyGame +git init -b main +# Download (do not pipe to a shell) a maintained Unity .gitignore: +curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/main/Unity.gitignore -o .gitignore + +# Asset-heavy game?

For monetization/backend, hand off to the dedicated skills: `implement-in-app-purchases` +(IAP), `levelplay-unity-integration` (ads), or `build-live-game` (accounts, cloud save, +economy, remote config, leaderboards). Once steps 5 and 6 above are done, work in the open +Editor. + +**Installed the Pipeline package while the Editor was already open?** The Editor picks up the +manifest change only when it next refreshes. Until then `unity status` reports +`STATUS_PIPELINE_LOAD_PENDING` (or `STATUS_NO_INSTANCES` on CLI releases before that code +existed). An Editor that is still opening or importing reports the same code until it finishes, +so wait for that first (`unity status --until-ready`). The CLI can't trigger the refresh itself: +if the Editor has finished opening, ask the user to switch to the Unity Editor window, then +re-run `unity status --until-ready`.

It is written even when tests fail. Drop the flag for the NUnit3 default, or use `--report-format nunit,junit` to get both from one run. Add `--coverage` to collect coverage via the Unity Code Coverage package — it warns and carries on if the project doesn't have the package.

It may be absent, which +means the notification is informational and there is nothing to run. + +`FEX_EMU_EXPERIMENTAL` means the command ran, or will run, the x86_64 Editor +through FEX-Emu on Linux arm64. Tell the user it is experimental and +unsupported and that C# script compilation is known to crash there. + +**`requiresUserApproval: true` means do not run `remediation.command` +yourself.** Surface the notification and the command, and let the user decide. + +--- + +## Notes + +- `--non-interactive` and `--yes` together suppress all prompts — use both in CI. +- `--format json` always produces machine-readable output; prefer it over parsing human text. Error envelopes are pretty-printed with the same 2-space indent as success envelopes. +- **Read failures from stdout, not stderr.** A failed command still writes a complete document to stdout: under `--format json` an envelope with `success: false` and a populated `errors` array (`errors[0].code` is the stable token to branch on); under `--format ndjson` the usual terminal `{"type":"result","success":false,…}` frame. **Every ndjson stream ends with exactly one terminal `{"type":"result"}` frame, on success too**, so a stream without one was truncated. Table-shaped listings (`unity editors`, `unity editors upgrade --check`, `unity templates list`, `unity releases`, `unity projects list`, `unity context list`, `unity auth list`, `unity modules list`, `unity list`, `unity doctor`) write one row per line first, with no `type` field on the rows, then a terminal frame whose `data` is `{"count": N}`; `--quiet` drops the rows but keeps the frame (except `unity projects list`, which never quiet-gates its rows), and a `--watch` listing, which only ends on Ctrl-C, writes no terminal frame. A few commands (`unity env`, `unity version`, `unity pipeline list`, `unity install-modules --list`, `unity changelog` among them) still end a successful ndjson stream without one, which is a known bug. **Branch on `success`, never on `data`** — `data` is usually `null` on a failure, but not always: a partial `unity editors add` failure carries a row per path, and an ambiguous `unity auth switch` carries `data.candidates` for you to disambiguate with. Check `success` and the exit code — never treat empty stdout as a failure signal, and do not parse stderr, which carries only human diagnostics in these formats. A handful of commands have not migrated yet and still print `{"error": "…"}` to stderr with empty stdout; if stdout is empty on a non-zero exit, that is a known bug in that command rather than a shape you should code against. +- `unity [path]` is a shorthand for `unity open [path] --editor-version `. Works with `lts`, `latest`, or a full version string like `6000.0.47f1`. +- The CLI supports kubectl-style plugins: any `unity-` binary on PATH is callable as `unity `. +- Terminal output is hardened against control-character / escape-sequence injection from server-provided values (project titles, editor versions, module names) — C0 controls and non-SGR escape sequences are stripped from table/list/tree output, and now also from Commander usage errors, the `unity bug` log-archive warning, and `unity projects add`/`remove` machine (tsv) output, while SGR color/style codes are preserved. +- The CLI reports anonymous crashes and errors via Sentry to help fix bugs (no IP address or hostname; home-directory paths and token-like values scrubbed before send), aligned with the Unity Hub. Opting in to analytics additionally attaches an anonymized machine id; opted-out users stay fully anonymous. Set `UNITY_NO_CRASH_REPORT` to disable reporting entirely. Separately again, every run sends one anonymous `cli telemetry` usage ping regardless of analytics/consent state — see [diagnostics-maintenance.md](references/diagnostics-maintenance.md#analytics--usagetelemetry-consent). +- The CLI is currently in **beta** (latest: `1.0.0-beta.11`). It moved to 1.0 versioning at `1.0.0-beta.1`; it's still a beta. The install command needs no channel setting: until GA ships it installs the latest beta, and afterward the stable release. +- **Always use the latest version of the Unity CLI unless you are told to use a specific version.** A newer CLI regularly adds commands and output fields these docs describe, so an outdated one fails in ways that read like the docs being wrong. +- As of `0.1.0-beta.8` the CLI checks in the background for a newer version and prints an unobtrusive "update available" notice (interactive sessions only; never delays a command). Turn it off with `unity config update-check off` or the `UNITY_NO_UPDATE_CHECK` env var. +- **Under `--format json` and `--format ndjson` that same notice reaches you as a `notifications` array on the envelope** — see [Notifications](#notifications) below. Over MCP it arrives once per session, as prose in the server's `initialize` `instructions`. +- Outbound HTTP from every CLI command honors the resolved proxy (see `unity config proxy`). An invalid `--proxy` value (malformed URL or unsupported scheme) fails with a usage error (exit 2) instead of being silently ignored. Inspect what the CLI actually resolved with `unity env --format json` or `unity doctor --format json` — both surface the active proxy URL, its source, and auth source. diff --git a/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/auth-license-cloud.md b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/auth-license-cloud.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e07b67e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/auth-license-cloud.md @@ -0,0 +1,212 @@ +# Auth, license & cloud — unity-cli command reference + +Part of the **`unity-cli`** skill.

It seals the token store to the machine’s hardware where available (a non-exportable TPM key on Windows, TPM2 via `systemd-creds` on Linux, then DPAPI, the Secret Service, the Keychain and a local key file, in that order), and `unity doctor` reports the active tier. On macOS and Windows it verifies a connecting process’s code signature and refuses an unsigned or non-Unity-signed peer; set `UNITY_PEER_AUTH_MODE=identify-only` to log without refusing (for an Editor or app you built from source). A broker started that way is a separate dev broker with its own address and its own sign-in: it never reads your normal sign-in, so sign in from the dev app that uses it (`unity auth login` writes your normal store, not the dev broker's). It refuses Unity-signed apps on macOS and Windows, and Unity apps refuse it in turn. Set `UNITY_NO_AUTH_BROKER=1` to bypass the broker and read the OS keyring directly. `unity auth consumers` (below) lists the applications that have used this machine’s sign-in through it. + +#### Multiple accounts + +The CLI stores more than one signed-in account and keeps one of them *active*. `unity auth login` adds an account; these three manage the set. + +```bash +# List stored accounts; "*" marks the active one +unity auth list +unity auth ls # alias +unity auth list --format json + +# Make a stored account active (by email or id) — no browser round-trip +unity auth switch user@example.com + +# Show the account a project uses for cloud commands +unity auth default + +# Pin this project to an account, regardless of which one is active +unity auth default user@example.com + +# Target a project other than the current directory +unity auth default user@example.com --project ./MyGame + +# Remove the pin; the project follows the active account again +unity auth default --clear +``` + +Three behaviors worth knowing before scripting these: + +- **A project pin beats the active account.** If a project has a default set, commands run inside it keep using that account even after `unity auth switch` — the switch reports this rather than failing silently. Use `auth default --clear` to hand the project back to the active account. +- **Service-account credentials outrank both.** When `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID` / `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET` are set (or a service account is signed in), they take precedence over every stored account and `auth switch` says so instead of appearing to work. Unset them, or `unity auth logout`, before switching. +- **`auth switch` is ambiguity-aware.** Given a string matching several stored accounts it fails rather than guessing, and under `--format json` carries the candidates in `data.candidates` so a script can disambiguate. Pass the full email or the account id. + +`unity auth default` resolves the project from the current directory unless `--project` is given, and errors if that path isn't a Unity project. Passing both an account and `--clear` is rejected. + +#### Consumers — see who's used your sign-in, and revoke one + +Some products use your Unity sign-in without holding your refresh token themselves, brokering through the CLI's own auth broker instead. `unity auth consumers` lists every application that has done this on this machine, and `unity auth revoke` cuts one off. + +```bash +# Application, scopes, grants/denials, and when it was last used +unity auth consumers +unity auth consumers --format json + +# Stop an application from using your sign-in (covers every scope it asked for) +unity auth revoke "Some Tool" + +# Undo that +unity auth revoke "Some Tool" --restore +``` + +Both are local-only — reading the broker's audit trail and a local revocation list — so neither needs sign-in or the network. On a machine that has never run the broker, `auth consumers` reports an empty list rather than an error. `auth revoke` without `--restore` revokes; with it, it un-revokes; either way it reports the actual resulting state (e.g. "already revoked") rather than assuming the write changed anything. + +The stored token itself is sealed to the machine that wrote it (TPM-backed on Windows/Linux where available, Keychain on macOS, with a local-key-file fallback everywhere), so a copied token-store file is worthless on another machine. `unity doctor` reports which protection is in force. + +**Separate sign-in from Hub.** As of `0.1.0-beta.8`, the CLI and the GUI Hub store their sign-in credentials **separately** — signing in to one no longer signs you out of (or overwrites the account of) the other, so each can stay signed in as a different account. (In earlier betas they shared a single keyring session.) + +**Service-account credentials via env vars** (`UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID` + `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET`) mint bearer tokens automatically for the duration of the process — no browser round-trip, no keyring write. If only one of the two is set, the CLI prints a warning on stderr instead of silently falling back to the keyring/OAuth identity. + +The interactive `unity auth login` flow prints the sign-in URL to the terminal **before** attempting to launch the browser, which unblocks remote/headless sessions (SSH, containers, dev VMs) where `xdg-open` / `open` has no graphical session to attach to. With `--format json`, an `auth_url=…` progress frame is emitted so machine consumers can capture the URL without parsing human text. + +`unity auth status` reflects real session state (including an explicit "session expired" message), not optimistic local assumptions. `unity doctor` and `unity cloud status` report the same real session state. + +--- + +### License — list, activate, return + +```bash +# List the Unity licenses active on this machine +unity license +unity license list # explicit form, identical output +unity license --format json # machine-readable + +# Summary: active license(s) + sign-in state +unity license status + +# Activate a license — choose exactly one mode (default = signed-in subscription) +unity license activate # signed-in user's subscription (entitlement) licenses +unity license activate --serial SC-… # serial-based (ULF) activation, no sign-in needed +unity license activate --personal --accept-eula # free Unity Personal license (must accept the EULA) +unity license activate --floating # lease a seat from the configured floating server +unity license activate --file ./Unity_lic.ulf # offline activation from a .ulf / .xml file +unity license activate --generate-request ./req.alf # write an offline activation request (air-gapped) + +# Return the active licenses — assigned/subscription AND serial-activated (prompts to confirm; --yes skips) +unity license return +unity license return --yes + +# Floating (network) license server +unity license server list # the configured floating license server(s) +unity license server status # reachability + available seats +``` + +`list` columns: product, license type (`Floating` / `Assigned` / `ULF`), organization, and expiry. `status` prints a one-glance summary — the active license(s) and whether you're signed in — and exits non-zero (`4`) when no license is active, so it works as a scriptable health check. The first licensing command downloads the Unity licensing client on demand; as of `0.1.0-beta.8`, if the client is unavailable `list` reports a clear error and exits non-zero (matching `status`), rather than printing an empty list. + +`unity license status` also reports `floatingServer` (the licensing server this machine is configured against) and `machineId` (the identity the licensing client reports to it) — the two values to match against a lease record when a floating seat looks stuck. Both are always present in `--format json` / `ndjson`; human and `tsv` output shows them only when a floating server is configured. + +`activate` takes a single mode flag (combining them is a usage error). The default (no flag) and `--personal` activate the signed-in user's entitlements — sign in first with `unity auth login`. `--personal` also requires `--accept-eula` to acknowledge the Unity Personal license terms. `--serial` / `--file` work offline without sign-in. `--floating` requires a configured floating license server (exit `4` if none is set). `--generate-request` writes a `.alf` request for air-gapped activation instead of activating. `return` returns the active licenses, prompting for confirmation first — pass `--yes` to skip (required in non-interactive shells and with `--json`). All honor `--json` / `--format` and exit non-zero on failure (`2` bad usage, `3` sign-in required, `4` floating not configured, `6` licensing-client error). + +**Service accounts.** The `license` commands recognize service-account sessions (`UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID` / `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET`, or `unity auth login --client-id`): `unity license status` reports `Signed in: yes (service account)` and includes the auth mode in JSON. Unity's licensing backend does **not** accept service-account tokens for license activation, so with a service-account session the default entitlement mode and `--personal` fail up front — before contacting the licensing client — with guidance toward the unattended options (`--floating`, `--file`, `--generate-request`, or a perpetual `--serial`). `unity license return` lists and returns serial-activated licenses too (not just assigned/subscription seats) — important for CI machines that activate per run — and returns each license individually, so when only some can be freed it reports what succeeded (in text and in the JSON `returned` / `failed` fields) instead of an all-or-nothing failure. + +`unity license server list` shows the configured floating license server (from the `licensingServiceBaseUrl` machine setting; a pure settings read, no client download). `unity license server status` contacts that server and reports reachability plus available seats — exit `4` when no server is configured, `6` when configured but unreachable. + +--- + +### Cloud — Unity Cloud organizations and projects + +Requires being signed in (`unity auth login`). + +```bash +# Show cloud sign-in state and active organization +unity cloud status --format json + +# Organizations +unity cloud org list --format json +unity cloud org current # print the active default org id +unity cloud org set-default # set active default org +unity cloud org clear-default # revert to "All Organizations" + +# Create an organization (company profile: individual or company, plus country) +unity cloud org create "" --first-name Ada --last-name Lovelace --country GB +unity cloud org create "" --company-name "Nebula Games Inc." --country US --region CA --set-default + +# Projects in the active organization +unity cloud project list --format json # * marks the active default project + +# Default project, stored per organization +unity cloud project current # print the active default project id +unity cloud project set-default # project UUID, Genesis id, or exact name +unity cloud project clear-default # drop this organization's default + +# Override the active organization for a single call +unity cloud project list --cloud-org # also via UNITY_CLOUD_ORG env var +``` + +**Creating an organization takes a name and a company profile**, the same fields the Unity +Dashboard's create dialog asks for. `--type individual` needs `--first-name` and `--last-name`; +`--type company` needs `--company-name`. `--type` can be left out when the name flags already say +which it is, and passing both kinds is refused. `--country` is a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (`GB`, +not `GBR`, and not `UK`, which is not an ISO code). `--region` is the ISO 3166-2 subdivision (`CA`, or `US-CA`) and is +required for the US, Canada, and Mexico and refused for every other country. The organization name +is trimmed and capped at 40 characters; person and company names follow the Dashboard's own +character rules. Everything passed is validated before the sign-in check and before any request, +so a typo costs no network call. Omitted fields are prompted for on a terminal; under +`--non-interactive`, or when output is redirected, the command fails naming every missing option. +Whether a country or subdivision code actually exists is the server's call, and its field-level +reason is reported as-is. `--set-default` makes the new organization active, exactly as +`org set-default` would; if the setting cannot be written the organization is still reported as +created, with a warning that the default did not take effect. A name already in use is reported as +such rather than as an HTTP status. Machine output is a create-specific shape carrying `id` and +`name` only, deliberately not `org list`'s row, since the create response has no `role` and the +default marker describes a list rather than a single new organization. + +**The default project is per organization.** `set-default` stores the project's UUID against the +active organization's Genesis id, so switching your active organization switches which default +applies, and `clear-default` only drops the active organization's. `cloud project current` and +`clear-default` read and write the settings file directly, so they need no network and no session +when the organization comes from your stored default; passing `--cloud-org ` needs a lookup, +so that path requires a session like the rest. + +**What consumes it.** Commands that need a Unity Cloud project but were not given one fall back to +the stored default. The order is the explicit flag (`--project-id`), then `UNITY_CLOUD_PROJECT`, +then the cloud link in the project directory's `ProjectSettings/PlayerSettings.asset`, then the +stored default, so inside a cloud-linked project the link still wins. `unity collaboration` uses +this chain. + +**Exit codes.** The `cloud` and `auth` commands map an authentication failure (expired or missing session, rejected sign-in) to `3`, and any other operational failure (network, server error) to `6` — so scripts can distinguish "sign in again" from a genuine command failure. `unity auth status` / `logout` follow the same convention. + +--- + diff --git a/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/build-run-test.md b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/build-run-test.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..0f7d599b --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/build-run-test.md @@ -0,0 +1,510 @@ +# Run, test & build — unity-cli command reference + +Part of the **`unity-cli`** skill.

That split is what lets CI retry an infrastructure failure without ever retrying a failing test; under `--format json` it also appears as `errors[0].code` (`TESTS_FAILED` versus `TEST_RUN_ERROR` / `TEST_TIMED_OUT`), so pipelines never have to match the localized message. It runs the tests **directly via the editor command line** — no pipeline package or server is involved. `--mode` is optional; when omitted, `-testPlatform` is not passed and the editor runs its default platform. + +It deliberately does **not** pass `-quit`: `-runTests` quits the editor itself once results are written, so forcing `-quit` would terminate it before the report exists.

It also may not resolve to the same file as `--output` (case-insensitively on Windows): writing both reports to one path would overwrite the NUnit report with the JUnit one while still claiming two artifacts were produced. + +All of these flag-combination mistakes, and an unknown `--report-format` value, are usage errors and exit **2** (`EXIT_BAD_ARGS`) — not 6 — so a CI script can tell "I invoked the command wrongly" from "the operation failed". They are also checked before the project and editor are resolved, so a usage mistake reports itself rather than surfacing as a missing-editor error. + +**The JUnit report is written even when tests fail**, before the non-zero exit is surfaced — that is exactly when a CI system needs it to annotate the failures. A run whose results cannot be converted (a truncated report from an editor that died mid-write, say) fails the command and names the file it could not read. + +#### GitHub Actions annotations (`--format github`) + +`--format github` is a global format value — accepted on every command, and settable via `UNITY_FORMAT` — that emits [GitHub Actions workflow commands](https://docs.github.com/actions/reference/workflow-commands-for-github-actions) for failures instead of plain terminal text. It is listed here because CI is where it earns its keep: + +```bash +unity test /path/to/MyProject --format github +unity build --target StandaloneWindows64 --output-path ./Build/Game.exe --format github +``` + +- **A failing command annotates the job.** Its error message is emitted as `::error::`, and a warning as `::warning::`, so the runner surfaces it as an annotation on the run rather than leaving it buried in the log. +- **Annotations go to stdout**, which is where GitHub's own documented examples emit them. +- **Human progress output still renders**, so the run stays readable — only the error and warning channels change shape. +- **Annotations are not anchored to a file and line yet.** Harvesting compile diagnostics out of the editor log (`::error file=…,line=…,col=…`) and wrapping that log in a collapsible `::group::` are not part of this format today, so a compile error annotates with the command's message rather than landing on the diff. + +This is complementary to `--report-format junit`, not an alternative: a JUnit file needs an upload-and-report step and surfaces in a separate tab, while annotations need neither. Using both together is reasonable — and today the JUnit report is what gets you per-test detail. + +Outside GitHub Actions the format is inert — the `::`-prefixed lines are ordinary text to any other terminal or log collector, so a local `--format github` run is reproducible and harmless. + +> Every value is sanitized and percent-encoded before it reaches a workflow command. The protocol is line-oriented and the runner does not escape anything, so an unescaped newline in an editor-supplied message would end the command and let the rest be interpreted as a new one. Never hand-build `::` lines around the CLI's output. + +#### Code coverage + +`--coverage` drives Unity's [Code Coverage package](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.testtools.codecoverage@latest) by passing `-enableCodeCoverage -coverageResultsPath ` (plus `-coverageOptions` when `--coverage-options` is given). `--coverage-output` defaults to `CodeCoverage` relative to the working directory. + +Coverage **degrades gracefully**: if the project does not depend on `com.unity.testtools.codecoverage` (checked in `Packages/manifest.json`, then `Packages/packages-lock.json`), the CLI prints a warning naming the missing package, skips the coverage flags, and runs the tests normally. It never fails the test run for a missing coverage package — `-enableCodeCoverage` on a project without it silently produces nothing, which is the confusing outcome this replaces. `--coverage-output` / `--coverage-options` without `--coverage` is an error. + +#### Sharding across parallel CI jobs + +`--shard N/M` runs one deterministic slice of the suite, so a matrix job can take `--shard 1/5` through `--shard 5/5` and finish in a fifth of the time. `N` is 1-based and must be between 1 and `M`; anything else is a usage error (exit **2**). + +**It needs an inventory first.** The editor has no way to list tests without running them, so the CLI reads the full test names out of an NUnit3 report an earlier full run already wrote. That report defaults to the unsharded `--output` path (`test-results.xml`), and `--shard-inventory ` points at one somewhere else — a cached CI artifact, say. Seed it by running `unity test` once without `--shard`. Without a readable inventory the command fails and says so rather than guessing; an inventory holding no test cases fails the same way. + +**The inventory must be NUnit, not JUnit.** The two formats spell the element differently (`test-case` against `testcase`), so a JUnit report reads as simply having no tests. Because `--report-format junit` makes `--output` *the JUnit report*, `--shard` without an explicit `--shard-inventory` is rejected up front in that combination — a usage error, exit **2** — rather than failing later as an empty inventory. Either point `--shard-inventory` at an NUnit report, or ask for both formats with `--report-format nunit,junit`, which keeps `--output` NUnit. Pointing `--shard-inventory` at a JUnit file by hand is caught too, and says so specifically. + +Assignment is a hash of each test's fully qualified name, which gives the properties a CI matrix depends on: + +- **Deterministic** — the same suite and shard count always produce the same assignment, so a failure reproduces on the shard that reported it. +- **Complete and disjoint** — every test in the inventory belongs to exactly one shard. Nothing is skipped and nothing runs twice. +- **Independent of outcome and timing** — nothing about a previous run's results or duration feeds the split, so it does not drift between runs. +- **Stable as the suite grows** — because the slice follows the name rather than a position in the file, adding a test leaves every other test on the shard it was already on. Changing `M` reshuffles everything, which is inherent to repartitioning. + +Precedence with the other options: + +| Option | When sharding | +|---|---| +| `--mode` | Unchanged — selects the platform, and is orthogonal to the split. | +| `--filter` | Applied **by the CLI**, to narrow the inventory before the shard is taken from what survives. It has to be: the editor accepts a single `-testFilter`, and on a sharded run the slice's explicit name list already occupies it, so a `--filter` passed through would be dropped. Filtering here also makes the `tests` reported in `--format json` the ones that will actually run. It accepts the editor's own syntax — a semicolon-separated list of full names or regular expressions, each optionally negated with `!`. Note this ordering does **not** rebalance anything: assignment hashes each name independently, so filtering before or after the partition gives the same membership, and a filter can still leave a shard empty. | +| `--output`, `--junit-output`, `--coverage-output` | Every artifact path gains a `.shard-N-of-M` suffix before its extension, so shards sharing a working directory never overwrite each other and a merge step can collect them by glob. | + +Two cases end the run early rather than producing something misleading. A slice with **no tests assigned** (more shards than tests) skips the editor entirely and exits 0 with a warning — launching with an empty filter would run the whole suite, turning `M` shards into `M` full runs. A slice whose assembled filter is **too long for a single editor argument** fails and tells you to raise the shard count, which shortens every slice. A test whose name contains a semicolon cannot be expressed in the editor's filter syntax at all, so it fails rather than silently not running. + +With `--format json` the envelope reports every artifact, so a pipeline can locate them without guessing: + +```json +{ + "projectPath": "/path/to/MyProject", + "output": "/path/to/results.xml", + "reports": { "nunit": "/path/to/results.xml", "junit": "/path/to/results.junit.xml" }, + "coverage": { "requested": true, "enabled": true, "output": "/path/to/coverage" }, + "shard": { "index": 2, "count": 5, "testCount": 2, "tests": ["Acme.Tests.A", "Acme.Tests.B"] } +} +``` + +`reports.junit` is `null` when JUnit was not requested, `reports.nunit` is `null` when only JUnit was. `coverage.requested` with `enabled: false` is the missing-package case. `shard` is **absent entirely** on an unsharded run, so output every existing script already parses is unchanged. + +#### Retrying failing tests and reporting flakes + +`--retries N` re-runs the tests that failed, up to `N` extra attempts, stopping as soon as they all pass. Retries are **off by default**; `N` must be a whole number, zero or more (anything else is a usage error, exit **2**). `--timeout` applies **per attempt**, not to the whole sequence. + +Only the failing tests are re-run — the CLI reads their names out of the NUnit report the run just wrote and hands them back to the editor as a single `-testFilter` — so a retry costs the failures, not another full pass. + +**The point is reporting flakes, not hiding them.** The final summary separates three outcomes: passed the first time, passed only on a retry (**flaky**), and failed every attempt. A flaky test does not silently turn the job green: the run exits **0**, because the tests do pass, and the flakiness is stated in the human output, in `--format json`, and in a file. Tests that never pass still exit **8**. + +**A test leaves the failing set only when a report says it passed.** The editor exits `0` for "ran them and they passed", for "matched none of them", and — it reads a filter entry as a name *or a regular expression* — for "matched a neighbouring test". A test that did not run, ran under a different name, was skipped, or was inconclusive is carried forward, because none of those contradict a failure; so is anything an attempt that failed again did not clear. When an attempt does not clear everything it was given, the survivors stay failing, the run exits **8**, and a warning says why. + +**A run that never produced a verdict is not retried.** A compile error, a crashed editor, an expired license or a `--timeout` all keep exit **6** and stop immediately, without spending the budget: there is no failing set to narrow to, and re-running the same broken configuration would only reproduce the same error. That is the split `unity test` already draws between exit `8` and exit `6`. + +Artifacts: + +| Path | Contents | +|---|---| +| `--output` (e.g. `test-results.xml`) | The **first** attempt's report — the full-suite record. Deliberately not rewritten to show a flaky test as passing, since that would hide what the retry found. | +| `test-results.attempt-2.xml`, `.attempt-3.xml`, … | One report per retry. Not kept under `--report-format junit` alone, where the NUnit reports live in a scratch directory discarded with the run. | +| `test-results.retries.json` | The machine-readable retry summary, written whenever a retry ran, passing or failing. It exists because a failing run's JSON envelope carries `data: null`, and the per-test attempt counts matter most when the run failed. | + +**A JUnit report is converted from the first attempt too**, so a run that went green on a retry still ships a JUnit file containing the original failure. Many CI systems gate on the ingested JUnit artifact rather than the exit code, and for those the flake still shows red — gate on the exit code, or on `retries.failed`, when you want a flake to pass. + +**Coverage is collected on the first attempt only.** A retry runs a handful of tests, so letting it write the same coverage path would replace the whole suite's coverage with that subset's. + +Under `--format json` the same summary appears as a `retries` block, **absent entirely** when `--retries` was not used or nothing failed. Only tests that failed at least once are listed; `passedFirstAttempt` counts the rest: + +```json +"retries": { + "requested": 2, + "attempts": 3, + "passedFirstAttempt": 41, + "flaky": [{ "test": "Maths.Calc.Adds", "attempts": 2 }], + "failed": [{ "test": "Maths.Calc.Divides", "attempts": 3 }] +} +``` + +`--rerun-failed` starts from the failures a **previous** run recorded in `--output` instead of running the whole suite, so a follow-up job can re-check just the failures of the first. It reads the same NUnit report `--shard` reads its inventory from, honours `--filter` (applied CLI-side, against the failing set), and can be combined with `--retries`. It writes to a derived path — `test-results.xml` becomes `test-results.rerun.xml` — rather than overwriting `--output`, which would replace the full-suite record with a partial one and shrink the inventory `--shard` reads from that same default path. + +Three cases end early rather than doing something misleading. **Nothing failed** → the editor is not started and the run exits 0 with a warning, because an empty test filter is no filter at all and launching would run everything. **`--report-format junit` alone** → rejected up front (exit **2**): `--output` is then the JUnit report, and the failing set is read from NUnit, so ask for `--report-format nunit,junit`. **`--shard`** → rejected (exit **2**): the editor accepts one test filter and each option needs it, so to retry a shard, run that shard again with `--retries`. + +#### Running only the tests a change affects (`--affected`) + +`--affected --since ` runs only the test assemblies the change can reach, taken from `unity vcs affected`'s guid impact graph instead of a hand-written filter. `--since` defaults to `HEAD` (uncommitted work) and otherwise uses the revision's merge base with `HEAD`, like `vcs affected`. + +```bash +unity test /path/to/MyProject # seed the inventory: one full run +unity test /path/to/MyProject --affected --since origin/main # writes test-results.affected.xml +unity test /path/to/MyProject --affected-compare --since origin/main +``` + +**Selection is an approximation, and every run says so.** The impact graph is a *lower bound*: Addressables groups, resource-folder lookups and assets loaded by path or name are real dependencies no static analysis finds. So this trades correctness for time, and the warning naming those classes is printed on every `--affected` run — human, tsv (on stderr) and as `lowerBound` plus `lowerBoundReason` in `--format json`. + +**It needs an inventory, for the same reason `--shard` does.** The editor's command line filters by test *full name* (`Namespace.Fixture.Method`), which carries no assembly, so resolving affected assemblies into runnable tests needs an NUnit3 report an earlier full run wrote. It reads `--output` (`test-results.xml` by default) and writes to a derived path — `test-results.affected.xml` — so a selective run can never overwrite the full-suite record it will read next time. + +**Anything it cannot prove runs the whole suite**, with a stable untranslated `reason` token in `--format json` for a pipeline to log. That happens for: a non-code change (`non-code-change` — the graph maps changed *code* to assemblies and has no edge from a prefab to the test that loads it, so a change touching any asset refuses, including one that also touches scripts), a moved assembly boundary (`assembly-boundary-changed`), a project using Addressables (`addressables`, read from both `Packages/manifest.json` and `Packages/packages-lock.json` so a transitive dependency counts, and an unreadable manifest or settings folder counts as using them), files changed outside the project (`outside-project-changes`), an empty diff (`no-changes`), a bad revision (`diff-failed`), no repository (`no-git-repository`), unreadable project input (`unreadable-input`, `changed-without-guid`), a missing or unattributable inventory (`no-inventory`, `unattributed-tests`), an inventory older than the change (`stale-inventory`), a change that edits a test source at all (`changed-test-source` — an inventory is keyed on assembly *names*, so a case added inside an existing test assembly is invisible to it, and selecting anyway would skip the very test the change adds while still exiting 0), a set too large for one test filter (`filter-unsendable`), and — deliberately — an empty selection (`nothing-selected`), because "no test is affected" is the largest claim a lower bound can fail to support. A refused run behaves exactly as if `--affected` had not been passed, so a `--filter` you also gave is still honoured. + +**Measure before you trust it.** `--affected-compare` runs *every* test, then reports what selection would have skipped and, from this run's own results, how many of those tests **failed** — the false-negative count, alongside the seconds selection would have saved. Both ride the `warnings` channel so they survive onto a failing run's envelope, which is the run most likely to have one. Use it for a while before switching to `--affected`. + +`--affected`, `--affected-compare`, `--shard` and `--rerun-failed` are mutually exclusive (exit **2**): each decides which tests run, and the editor accepts one test filter. `--since` without `--affected` or `--affected-compare` is a usage error too. + +Options: `--mode EditMode|PlayMode`, `--filter `, `--output `, `--report-format nunit|junit|nunit,junit`, `--junit-output `, `--shard `, `--shard-inventory `, `--retries ` (0-10), `--rerun-failed`, `--affected`, `--affected-compare`, `--since `, `--coverage`, `--coverage-output `, `--coverage-options `, `--editor-version ` (env `UNITY_EDITOR_VERSION`), `-e, --editor-path `, `-a, --architecture `, `--allow-install`, `--timeout ` (env `UNITY_TEST_TIMEOUT`). + +--- + +### Watch — re-run affected tests on file change + +`unity watch test` is a thin loop around `unity test --affected`: it runs once immediately, then re-runs on every project file change, so the inner dev loop no longer means re-typing `unity test --affected` by hand after each edit. + +```bash +unity watch test /path/to/MyProject +unity watch test . --filter "MyNamespace.MyTests" +unity watch test . --ignore "*.log" --ignore Recordings +``` + +**One run at a time, always.** A run in flight is always allowed to finish; changes that arrive while it is running only mark the next run pending, and a burst of them (a multi-file save, a branch switch) coalesces into exactly one follow-up run rather than one per file. Two Editor invocations against the same project can never overlap. + +**Ignored by default:** `Library/`, `Temp/`, `Logs/`, `Build/`, `obj/` — matched case-insensitively wherever they appear in the project tree, and no file watcher is even attached to a top-level directory that matches, so Unity's own import churn under `Library/` never reaches the CLI. `--ignore ` (repeatable) adds more file/directory glob patterns on top of that default set; there is no flag to remove a default entry. + +**Ctrl-C** while idle (between runs, waiting for the next change) exits cleanly with no Editor running. Ctrl-C while a run is in flight terminates the CLI and the spawned Editor together, the same as a plain `unity test` — never an orphaned Editor process either way. + +**Refuses to start** under `--non-interactive`, or when a `CI` environment variable is detected, since the loop has no exit condition of its own and would otherwise hang a job indefinitely. + +`unity watch test` deliberately exposes a narrower flag set than `unity test` itself — no `--shard`, `--coverage`, `--retries`, `--rerun-failed`, `--affected-compare`, or `--output`/`--report-format` (the report path is fixed internally, which is also what keeps a run's own report write from re-triggering itself). Reach for `unity test --affected` directly when you need those. + +Options: `--mode EditMode|PlayMode`, `--filter `, `--editor-version ` (env `UNITY_EDITOR_VERSION`), `-e, --editor-path `, `-a, --architecture `, `--allow-install`, `--timeout `, `--ignore ` (repeatable). + +`unity watch build` (re-running `unity build` on change) is a documented follow-up, not yet implemented. + +--- + +### Recompile — compile check without a build + +`unity recompile` answers "does my code compile?" against a **running Editor**, in seconds, with no artifacts produced. It is the Unity analogue of `tsc --noEmit`. Reach for it instead of `unity build` whenever you only need to know whether the scripts are valid — a build is minutes of work to answer the same question. + +```bash +unity recompile # the Editor for the current project +unity recompile --project-path /path/to/MyGame # pick one when several are running +unity recompile --strict # warnings fail too +unity recompile --format json # structured diagnostics +``` + +It triggers an asset refresh plus script recompile, polls until compilation finishes, prints each diagnostic with its file, line, column, code and message, and sets an exit code — so it drops straight into a pre-commit hook or a CI step. + +**Requires a running Editor with the Pipeline package.** That is what makes it fast (the Editor is already warm) and it means no build target has to be configured. There is no batch-mode fallback: with no reachable Editor it reports which Editors it found and what to do, and exits `7`. + +**It cannot report errors that put the Editor into Safe Mode.** An Editor that *boots* with compile errors loads no Pipeline package, so there is nothing to ask and you get exit `7`. This command reports errors you introduce into an Editor that is **already running** — the normal edit loop, where a failed compile keeps the server alive. See the Safe Mode note in `SKILL.md` for the recovery loop. + +**Exit codes are the whole point for CI.** `0` compiled (or nothing needed recompiling), `6` compilation reported errors, `7` **no Editor could be reached, so whether the code compiles is unknown**. Treat `6` as terminal and `7` as worth retrying after fixing the environment — you never have to match on the message text. Several Editors running is a `6`: pick one with `--project-path`. + +`7` covers an Editor that is *running* but unreachable, not just a missing one — a hung Editor, or your own sandbox refusing the loopback connection. If you are a sandboxed agent, read a `7` as "ask again once the sandbox allows loopback", never as a compile failure. + +**Warnings do not fail by default.** `--strict` makes them fail. Warnings are read from the Editor console rather than the compile result (the Pipeline package only ever reports errors from a compile), bounded to the entries this compile produced; if the console cannot be read, the command says so on stderr rather than reporting "no warnings". + +Diagnostics go to **stderr** in human and `tsv` output, so stdout stays clean for parsing. `--format json` / `ndjson` carry `errors` and `warnings` arrays plus `status`, `failed` and `compilationFailed` — note `compilationFailed: true` alongside `failed: false` is normal immediately after a compile that fixed the errors, and is not a failure. + +Options: `--project-path `, `--timeout ` (default 120), `--focus` (bring the Editor forward first; off by default because an unfocused Editor still compiles), `--strict`. + +--- + +### Build + +The first-class build workflow. Rule of thumb vs `unity run`: building a player → `unity build`; anything else headless → `unity run`. + +Pick one build strategy: a Unity 6+ Build Profile (`--profile`), a built-in desktop player build (`--target` with a desktop target, `--output-path` required), or a custom `--execute-method` (your method is responsible for the actual build, including honoring `--output-path`). Non-desktop targets need `--profile` or `--execute-method`. + +The build log is always written to the log file **and** streamed at the same time — to stdout, or to stderr under `--format json` so stdout holds only the result document; pass `--no-tail` to write the file only (the tail is also suppressed by `--quiet` and `--format ndjson`). The streamed copy masks the credentials the CLI passes the Editor (the `-accessToken` value, the Android keystore passwords) with `***`, as do `run` and `test` wherever they relay the Editor's log. + +**How the outcome is decided — do not gate CI on Unity's exit code alone.** For a built-in build (`--profile`, or `--target` without `--execute-method`) the CLI does not trust Unity's process exit code by itself: a real Editor exits `0` from a player build its own log reports as failed. When the log carries Unity's terminal verdict, that verdict decides the outcome, so a failed build exits **6** even where the Unity process exited `0`, and the provenance manifest records the failure. A log with no verdict falls back to the exit code, and an `--execute-method` build always does — your method owns the code it returns, including when it deliberately tolerates a build it reports on itself. A build that succeeds with errors still in its log reports them on stderr rather than dropping them; they also ride `editorErrors` under `--format json`. + +```bash +# Build with a custom build method +unity build /path/to/MyProject \ + --target StandaloneOSX \ + --execute-method Builder.PerformBuild \ + --output-path ./build/output + +# Build with a Unity 6+ build profile +unity build /path/to/MyProject --profile "Windows Release" --output-path ./Build/MyGame.exe + +# Common build targets: StandaloneOSX, StandaloneWindows64, StandaloneLinux64, Android, iOS, WebGL +``` + +**Options:** + +| Flag | Description | +|---|---| +| `--target ` | Build target (required unless `--profile` is used). | +| `--execute-method ` | Static C# method to invoke, e.g. `Builder.PerformBuild`.

Supply `--android-keystore-base64`, `--android-keystore-password`, and `--android-key-alias-password` from CI secret environment variables (e.g. `--android-keystore-password "$KEYSTORE_PASSWORD"`), never as inline literals, and source those variables from a dedicated CI secret store. Note that sourcing from an env var only avoids hard-coding the literal — the expanded value still appears in `argv`, so also mask it in CI log output. + +**Versioning** — `semantic` and `tag` derive the version from git tags/history; `custom` requires an explicit `--build-version`; a dirty working tree is rejected unless `--allow-dirty-build` is passed. + +**Provenance manifest** — every build that reaches the editor writes a JSON manifest recording what produced it: editor version and changeset, resolved package set, target, profile, execute method, version stamp, git revision and dirty flag, CLI version, timestamps, and outcome. Failed builds get one too, with the exit code, so they stay diagnosable. It is redacted for publication — paths are project-relative, `--args`, the Android keystore flags, the editor's install location and the hostname are never written, a git package reference keeps its locator but loses any embedded credentials, and a `file:` dependency is recorded as `file:` — so it can be attached to a release next to the artifact. Under `--format json` / `--format ndjson` the path is reported as `data.provenance` (omitted when no manifest was written), on failed builds as well as successful ones. The git revision is captured before the build starts, so an artifact written into the project does not make the manifest claim the build came from a dirty tree. `--provenance-path` and a relative `--output-path` both resolve against the current directory, matching what the CLI hands Unity. A manifest that cannot be written warns instead of failing the build. Schema: `apps/cli/docs/build-provenance.md`. + +**Output path in the result.** Under `--format json` / `--format ndjson` the resolved `--output-path` is reported as `data.outputPath`: the absolute, cwd-resolved path this build told Unity to write to, exactly as `--output-path` was supplied (never introspected out of the Editor or the Build Profile asset). It is present for every built-in build (`--profile`, an auto-discovered profile, or a legacy desktop `--target`), where `--output-path` is required, and `null` only for an `--execute-method` build invoked without `--output-path`, where the method picks its own destination the CLI has no way to learn (the same case that leaves nothing for `build run` to record; see below). Unity decides whether that path names a single file (a Windows `.exe`, a Linux binary) or a directory it writes into (a macOS `.app` bundle, a WebGL build, an Android Studio project export); the CLI reports the path it told Unity to use either way, without distinguishing the two. Like `version`, `outputPath` is serialized as `null` rather than omitted when unknown, and it carries the same value on a failed build's payload whenever one is written. This is a different value from the provenance manifest's own `build.outputPath` (above): the manifest's copy is project-relative and omitted whenever the resolved path falls outside the project, for portability and redaction; `data.outputPath` is always absolute and never redacted, since it rides the CLI's own stdout rather than a file meant to travel with the artifact. + +**Interrupt exit codes** — interrupting `unity build` exits with the conventional signal code (`130` for Ctrl-C / SIGINT, `143` for SIGTERM) rather than a generic `1`, so callers and CI can tell an aborted build apart from a failed one. The temporary Android keystore is scrubbed before exit. + +**Stall heartbeat** — a long build prints a periodic heartbeat (`Still building — 4m30s elapsed, last log output 3m10s ago`) tracking both total elapsed time and time since the Editor log last grew, so silence in the log no longer looks the same as a hang. Detection itself reads the Editor log's size directly, so it keeps working regardless of output mode — but whether the heartbeat is *printed* depends on the mode: on the human path it goes to stderr (so the streamed log stays clean) and is unaffected by `--no-tail`, but **`--quiet` suppresses it entirely** in human mode.

A successful `unity build` with a known output path — a built-in build (`--output-path` is required there) or a `--profile` / `--execute-method` build that passed `--output-path` — records that path together with the target, architecture and Editor version, and `build run` launches that recording: a desktop player natively, a WebGL build from a loopback-only local HTTP server that opens in the default browser. An `--execute-method` build without `--output-path` chooses its own destination inside the method, so it records nothing and leaves any earlier record in place; launch such a build with `build run --path ` instead. `build run` fails cleanly (exit 6) when no build has been recorded yet, when the recorded build’s platform cannot run on this OS, or when its output is gone. + +**Per-project defaults.** A committed `ProjectSettings/UnityCliConfig.json` declares `unity build` / `unity test` defaults (`build.target`, `build.outputPath`, `build.profile`, `build.timeout`, `test.mode`, `test.reportFormat`, `test.coverage`, `test.coverageOptions`, `test.timeout`) so they need not be repeated on every invocation; `unity config resolve [project]` shows the resolved value and which layer supplied it. See [config-hub.md](config-hub.md). + +--- + +### Unity Accelerator — shared asset-import cache + +The [Unity Accelerator](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAccelerator.html) is Unity's asset-import cache server: on import the Editor downloads a prebuilt artifact on a hash hit instead of re-importing. It pays off exactly where the CLI is used most — clean CI checkouts, ephemeral containers, branch switches, parallel agent worktrees. + +**Persist the endpoint once** with `unity config accelerator ` (see [config-hub.md](config-hub.md)), and `run`, `test` and `build` inject it automatically.

A bare host defaults to port `10080`. | +| `--no-accelerator` | Ignore any configured Accelerator for this invocation. | + +**Both are scoped to `run`, `test` and `build`, and go after the command name.** They are deliberately not root globals: every other command would accept an endpoint it can never act on, then still fail as a usage error on a malformed value. `unity --accelerator … build` is an `unknown option` error (exit 2) — put the flag after the command instead. + +```bash +# Uses the persisted endpoint automatically +unity test /path/to/MyProject + +# One-shot override / opt-out +unity build /path/to/MyProject --target StandaloneLinux64 --output-path ./Build/MyGame.x86_64 --accelerator cache.example.com:10080 +unity test /path/to/MyProject --no-accelerator +``` + +When an endpoint resolves, the CLI appends `-EnableCacheServer -cacheServerEndpoint ` to the Editor argv and says so (`Using Unity Accelerator at … (source: settings).`). When nothing resolves, the argv is byte-identical to a CLI without this feature. `--no-accelerator` reports that it suppressed a configured endpoint, which is deliberately distinct from the silence of a machine that has none. + +**`unity run`, `unity test` and `unity build` inject. `unity open` does not** — interactive opens have their own argv builder and are a known follow-up; configure the Accelerator in Editor Preferences for interactive work in the meantime. + +**Reserved:** `-EnableCacheServer` and `-cacheServerEndpoint` are rejected if you forward them yourself (exit 6) — the CLI manages that pair. Matching is case-insensitive and covers the `--flag` and `-flag=value` spellings. + +**Everything else in the family stays forwardable**, and the injected pair is placed *before* your tail so Unity's last-wins parser lets your values win: `-cacheServerEnableImportResultCaching`, `-cacheServerNamespacePrefix`, `-cacheServerEnableDownload true|false`, `-cacheServerEnableUpload true|false`, `-cacheServerWaitForConnection `, `-cacheServerDownloadBatchSize `, `-cacheServerUploadExistingImports`, `-cacheServerUploadAllRevisions`, `-cacheServerUploadExistingShaderCache`, and the `-disableShaderCacheRemote*` / `-disableTextureCacheRemote*` families (each with `…Download` / `…Upload` sub-variants). + +```bash +unity test /path/to/MyProject -- \ + -cacheServerEnableImportResultCaching \ + -cacheServerNamespacePrefix "ci-6000.0" \ + -cacheServerWaitForConnection 10000 +``` + +**Import result caching is disabled by default from Unity 6.5 in new projects.** On a new 6.5+ project, connecting to an Accelerator is not by itself enough to get import-result reuse — pass `-cacheServerEnableImportResultCaching` or enable it in the project. + +**A configured endpoint can still be ignored.** Every `-cacheServer*` argument overrides *Editor Preferences*, not Project Settings; `ProjectSettings/EditorSettings.asset`'s `m_CacheServerMode` decides whether preferences are consulted at all (`0` = Use global settings, `1` = Enabled, `2` = Disabled). A project on mode `2` ignores the injected flags, and the CLI emits a warning (never a failure — the run proceeds). Mode `1` is not warned about: whether a project-pinned endpoint beats an injected one is unmeasured, and a false warning would be worse than none.

Neither is required: resolution order is + +1. explicit `--project-id`, else +2. the `UNITY_CLOUD_PROJECT` env var, else +3. `--project-path` → `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` env var → the current directory, reading + `ProjectSettings/PlayerSettings.asset` for the project's `cloudProjectId`, else +4. the stored default cloud project for your active organization + (`unity cloud project set-default`, see [auth-license-cloud.md](auth-license-cloud.md)). + +If none yields an id it fails with: `Could not determine the Unity Cloud project for ''. +Pass --project-id explicitly, or --project-path to point at a project linked to Unity Cloud.` So +inside a cloud-linked Unity project you can drop the flag entirely, and with a default set you can +drop it outside one too. Note the link outranks the default: it is the more specific fact about the +directory you pointed the command at. Most of `jira` is scoped +differently — see [Jira](#jira). + +**`--all` — auto-paginate.** `annotations list`, `annotations replies`, and `jira issues list` accept +`--all` to stream every page instead of one. It is **mutually exclusive with `--next` and +`--limit`** — passing either alongside it is an error. + +**`--full` and `--resolve-users`** (table output helpers): `--full` prints annotation/reply text +untruncated (whitespace still collapsed to one line); `--resolve-users` replaces user ids with +display names. `--resolve-users` is on `annotations list`/`replies`/`get`/`export` and +`attachments list`; `--full` only on `annotations list`/`replies`. + +**Delete confirmations.** `annotations delete`, `annotations delete-fields`, `attachments delete`, +`jira server delete`, and `jira project delete` prompt for confirmation (default **No**) only when +all three hold: output format is `human`, `--non-interactive` was not passed, and both stdin and +stdout are TTYs. In scripts/CI (piped output, `--format json`, or `--non-interactive`) they delete +immediately without prompting. + +**`key=value` flags — typed vs string.** Two repeatable pair collectors look identical but behave +differently: + +- `--metadata k=v` (typed): each value goes through `JSON.parse`, so `count=3` becomes the number + `3`, `done=true` a boolean, `tags=["a","b"]` an array. Unparseable values stay strings. To force + a numeric-looking string to stay a string, quote it as JSON: `--metadata 'k="2"'`. +- `--target-context k=v` (string-only): values are always kept as raw strings. + +Both split on the first `=` only (values may contain `=`); repeating a key means last value wins; +a pair without `=` or with an empty key fails with `Invalid key=value pair: `. + +**Raw-JSON flags.** `--camera`, `--local-space` / `--local`, `--time`, `--position`, +`--attachments`, and `annotations list --query` take a JSON value and fail with +`Invalid JSON for --` when it doesn't parse. Shapes: + +| Flag | JSON shape | +|---|---| +| `--camera` | `{"position":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0},"rotation":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0},"fieldOfView":60,"target":{...},"projection":"...","verticalSize":1}` — position + rotation required, rest optional | +| `--local-space` (annotations) / `--local` (attachments spatial) | `{"parentId":"...","position":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0},"cameraPosition":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0}}` — same shape, different flag name per group | +| `--time` | `{"timeScale":1,"timeStamp":0}` | +| `--position` (attachments spatial) | `{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0}` | +| `--attachments` (annotations create) | JSON array of `{"type":"...", ...}` attachment objects | + +--- + +### Data model + +#### Root vs reply + +Every annotation — root or reply — is the same type. The distinguishing field is +`rootAnnotationId`: + +| Field | Root thread | Reply | +|---|---|---| +| `rootAnnotationId` | `null` | ID of the root annotation | +| `target` | asset or project path | more specific path, often includes `/files/` | +| `replyCount` | populated | `null` | +| `replyUserIds` | populated | `null` | +| `threadAttachmentsCount` | populated (thread-wide; see caveat below) | `null` | +| `hasDraftReply` | populated | `null` | +| `integrations` | `{}` or populated (Jira lives here) | `null` | +| `resolved` / `resolvedBy` | meaningful (thread-level op) | `null` | +| `camera` / `metadata` | minimal | rich — full viewer state snapshot | + +Thread-level operations (resolve/unresolve, subscribe/unsubscribe, Jira linking, thumbnails) act on +the root. Replies capture a richer viewport snapshot (`camera`, `metadata` with `materialOverride`, +lighting, grid state) because they usually represent a specific view at time of writing. Both root +and reply can independently hold `attachments`, `reactions`, and `hasThumbnail`. + +#### Target paths + +`target` always starts with `/projects//...`. The prefix sets the context: + +| Prefix | Context | Example | +|---|---|---| +| `assets/projects//...` | Asset Manager asset | `assets/projects//assets/` | +| `assets/projects//.../files/` | Specific file within an AM asset | `assets/projects//assets//files/mesh.fbx` | +| `unity/projects//...` | Unity Editor | `unity/projects//assets/` | + +`**` as a trailing segment matches all descendants (`annotations count` target arg). + +The two prefixes are **separate trees, and no glob spans both.** A project routinely holds +annotations under each, so any count or listing is scoped to whichever prefix you name — see the +`count` caveat under [Annotations](#annotations). + +#### Mention syntax in `--text` + +| Type | Syntax | Example | +|---|---|---| +| User | `:user[Display Name]{#userId}` | `:user[Alex Rivera]{#2475297437902}` | +| Asset | `:asset[Asset Name]{#assetId}` | `:asset[Unity Tower]{#68de9f5d476ac89c752cbf88}` | + +#### Attachment payload shapes + +`threadAttachmentsCount` on the root counts the **whole thread**, while `attachments list ` +returns only the attachments owned by that one annotation. A root reporting 5 can list just its own +single sketch, with the other four hanging off replies — that mismatch is expected, not a bug. To +reach them, list the replies (`annotations replies `) and call `attachments list` per reply id, +or read the `attachments` field directly via `annotations list --include-fields attachments`. + +**Don't index it.** `threadAttachmentsCount` is normally a number (or `null`), but a per-type object +(`{ "sketch": 4, "spatial-3d": 3, "file": 1 }`) also shows up in real payloads. Guard the type +before reading it rather than assuming either shape. + +Every attachment object also carries its type under **two** keys, `type` and `Type`, with the same +value — the API emits both and the CLI passes responses through verbatim. Key off lowercase `type`; +that is what the formatters use. + +**`sketch`** — 2D drawing overlay captured over a 3D viewport. `sketchData` is a JSON *string* +(stroke/arrow records with positions, colors, widths): +```json +{ + "type": "sketch", + "attachmentId": "689f4236496f6d50dcbd6e20", + "sketchData": "", + "camera": { "position": {}, "rotation": {}, "fieldOfView": 60, "target": {}, "projection": "perspective" }, + "preview": { "filePath": "..._preview.png", "fileSize": 42770, "contentType": "image/png", "status": "Uploaded" }, + "sketchImage": { "filePath": "..._sketch.png", "fileSize": 42770, "contentType": "image/png", "status": "Uploaded" }, + "metadata": { "materialOverride": "default", "wireframe": -1 }, + "created": "2025-08-15T14:20:38.806Z", + "createdBy": "2475297437902" +} +``` + +**`spatial-3d`** — numbered 3D pin on a mesh in world space. Multiple pins per annotation, each +with an incrementing `label`. `camera.target` points at the pin's `position`; no +`preview`/`sketchImage` (it's a point, not an image): +```json +{ + "type": "spatial-3d", + "attachmentId": "6a1effe63e164caf9cea8aee", + "label": "1", + "position": { "x": -0.403, "y": 2.763, "z": 0.066 }, + "camera": { "position": {}, "rotation": {}, "fieldOfView": 60, "target": { "x": -0.403, "y": 2.763, "z": 0.066 } }, + "metadata": { "materialOverride": "default", "wireframe": -1 }, + "created": "2026-06-02T16:08:06.935Z", + "createdBy": "2475297437902" +} +``` + +**`file`** — generic upload (image, document). The annotation's top-level `camera` is `null` for +these — not tied to a 3D viewport: +```json +{ + "type": "file", + "attachmentId": "6a1effcfe9693f7f4d84ad13", + "filePath": "qa_no_replies.jpg", + "fileSize": 348842, + "fileType": "image", + "contentType": "image/jpeg", + "status": "Uploaded", + "metadata": {}, + "created": "2026-06-02T16:07:43.657Z", + "createdBy": "2475297437902" +} +``` + +--- + +### Annotations + +An annotation is a review comment anchored to a target path (e.g. +`unity/projects//assets/`). A **reply** is an annotation whose +`rootAnnotationId` points at the thread root — `create --reply-to ` makes one, and +`replies ` lists a thread. Status lifecycle: `Draft` → `Sending` → `Active`. + +Annotation objects returned by `get`/`list`/`replies` (`--format json`) carry: `annotationId`, +`messageType`, `target`, `targetContext`, `rootAnnotationId`, `status`, `text`, `created`/ +`createdBy`, `updated`/`updatedBy`, `resolved`/`resolvedBy`, `metadata`, plus include-only fields +(below). + +| Command | Args | Key options | +|---|---|---| +| `annotations count` | `[target]` (glob `**` at end OK) — **defaults to `unity/projects//**` only**, see below | `--grouped` (per-target breakdown), `--offset `, `--limit ` | +| `annotations create` | `` | `--text`, `--reply-to `, `--status Active\|Draft`, `--metadata k=v`…, `--target-context k=v`…, `--camera`, `--local-space`, `--time`, `--attachments`, `--unresolve-root-annotation` | +| `annotations delete` | `` | (confirmation — see Shared behavior) | +| `annotations delete-fields` | ` ` | removes metadata fields; variadic; confirmation | +| `annotations export` | — | `--target ` — **defaults to `assets/projects//**` only**, see below; `--out ` (else stdout), `--resolve-users`; the service returns `assetId` + `assetName` here that `list` does not — the CLI copies the response page verbatim, so treat those as service behavior | +| `annotations get` | `` | `--fields a,b,c` or `--fields all` (table output only), `--resolve-users` | +| `annotations list` | — | `--query ` (optional — defaults to root threads only), `--next `, `--limit 1-100` (default 10), `--all`, `--sort Ascending\|Descending`, `--sort-field annotationId\|latestReply`, `--include-fields a,b`, `--fields a,b` or `--fields all` (table output only), `--full`, `--resolve-users` | +| `annotations replies` | `` | `--next`, `--limit 1-100`, `--all`, `--sort`, `--status-filter All\|Active\|Sending\|Draft` (repeat flag), `--fields a,b` or `--fields all` (table output only), `--full`, `--resolve-users` | +| `annotations resolve` / `annotations unresolve` | `` | — (echoes only `annotationId`, see below) | +| `annotations status` | ` ` | — | +| `annotations update` | `` | `--text`, `--metadata k=v`…, `--camera`, `--local-space`, `--time` — at least one required | + +```bash +# Create a thread on an asset, with typed metadata (count is a number, build stays a string) +unity collaboration annotations create "unity/projects/$PROJ/assets/$ASSET" \ + --project-id $PROJ --text "Texture seam visible here" \ + --metadata severity=2 --metadata 'build="2024.1"' \ + --camera '{"position":{"x":0,"y":1,"z":-5},"rotation":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0}}' + +# Reply to it +unity collaboration annotations create "unity/projects/$PROJ/assets/$ASSET" \ + --project-id $PROJ --reply-to $ANNOTATION_ID --text "Fixed in latest import" + +# List root threads (default query) from inside a cloud-linked project — no --project-id needed +unity collaboration annotations list --include-fields replyCount,latestReply --format json + +# Custom query — must be a JSON ARRAY of clauses; the default is +# [{"type":"hasNot","field":"annotationParentId"}] (root threads only) +unity collaboration annotations list --project-id $PROJ \ + --query '[{"type":"hasNot","field":"annotationParentId"}]' --all --format ndjson + +# Export for offline analysis — ONE prefix tree per run; the bare command covers +# only assets/**, so an Editor-annotated project needs both invocations. +unity collaboration annotations export --project-id $PROJ \ + --target "assets/projects/$PROJ/**" --out annotations-assets.json +unity collaboration annotations export --project-id $PROJ \ + --target "unity/projects/$PROJ/**" --out annotations-editor.json +``` + +**`export` is not a whole-project export.** With no `--target` the command defaults to +`assets/projects//**`, so annotations under the separate `unity/projects//**` +tree are silently absent from the archive — and nothing in the output says so. Always pass `--target` +explicitly, once per prefix, when completeness matters. (Note the default differs from +`annotations count`, which defaults to the `unity/**` tree instead.) The CLI's own `--target` help +text says "the whole project", which contradicts the actual default — trust the prefix above. + +**`--query` shape.** A JSON *array* of clauses (a bare object is rejected: +`The --query value must be a JSON array of query clauses.`). Clause vocabulary is the +collaboration API's — e.g. `{"type":"hasNot","field":"annotationParentId"}`. Omitting `--query` +applies exactly that root-threads-only clause. + +A supplied `--query` **replaces** that default rather than adding to it, so a lone filter clause +(e.g. `[{"type":"glob","field":"target","value":"assets/**"}]`) returns replies interleaved with +roots. Re-add `{"type":"hasNot","field":"annotationParentId"}` alongside your clause to keep +thread-roots-only results. + +**Include-only fields.** `replyCount`, `replyUserIds`, `latestReply`, `attachments`, +`threadAttachmentsCount`, `replyLastReadTimestamp`, and `replyUnreadCount` come back null/absent +unless named in `--include-fields` on `list` (server omits them by default). If `replyCount` is +unexpectedly null, that's why. + +**`delete-fields`** removes **`metadata` sub-keys**, not top-level annotation fields — the variadic +args are metadata key names (`delete-fields severity build`). A name that isn't a metadata key +is a silent no-op (it is echoed back in `data.fields` and the command still exits 0), including +`metadata` itself: passing it does **not** clear the object. + +**`count` with no target counts one prefix tree only.** It defaults to +`unity/projects//**`, so it reads like a project-wide total but omits everything under +`assets/projects//**` — in a project with annotations on both, the bare command can +report 16 while 34 more exist. Pass the target explicitly (once per prefix) when you want a real +total, and prefer `--grouped` to see which trees are populated. + +**The mutators echo ids, not the annotation.** `resolve` and `unresolve` return just +`{ "annotationId": … }`; `status` adds `status`, and `delete-fields` adds the `fields` it was asked to +remove. None return a `resolved` timestamp or the updated object. A read-after-write therefore needs a follow-up `get`; an id-only response is success, not a +silent failure.

The CLI finds it by walking up from the working directory (or the explicit project path) to the project root, and reads nine keys: `build.target`, `build.outputPath`, `build.profile`, `build.timeout`, `test.mode`, `test.reportFormat`, `test.coverage`, `test.coverageOptions`, `test.timeout`. The same keys can be set globally with `unity config set build.target …`. + +Precedence, highest first: command-line flag, environment variable (only `build.timeout` / `test.timeout` have one), the project file, the global config layer, then the CLI’s built-in default. A flag exists only on the `unity build` / `unity test` invocation itself, so `config resolve` never reports `flag`: its `source` is one of `env`, `project`, `global` or `default`. + +```bash +# Which value applies, and which layer supplied it: env, project, global, or default +unity config resolve build.target /path/to/MyProject +unity config resolve test.mode --format json # {key, value, source} +``` + +--- + +### Context — named sets of the five defaults + +The CLI keeps five defaults, each normally set by its own command: the active account (`auth switch`), the default organization (`cloud org set-default`), the default cloud project (`cloud project set-default`), the default editor (`editors default`) and the install path (`install-path`). A **context** is a name for one combination of all five, so moving between two setups is one command instead of five in the right order. + +```bash +# Record the current five settings under a name +unity context save work + +# Apply them again later — all five, or none +unity context use work + +# What exists, and which one is currently in effect +unity context list +unity context current + +# Forget one (the settings it named are left as they are) +unity context delete work +``` + +Names may use letters, digits, dots, dashes and underscores, up to 64 characters, and are matched case-insensitively — re-saving an existing name overwrites it in place. + +**Applying is all-or-nothing.** The account, editor and install path are validated before anything is written; the organization and project are then checked against Unity Cloud under the account the context selects. Any failure names the missing item, exits **6**, and leaves every setting exactly as it was — a context pinning an editor you have since uninstalled fails with that editor's version rather than half-switching. + +**A context clears what it does not pin.** Switching to a context that names no organization clears the organization rather than leaving the previous one's behind. The one exception is the account: there is no "signed in as nobody", so a context naming no account leaves the active one alone (and `unity context current` will still match such a context whoever is signed in). + +**Offline and signed-out still work.** When Unity Cloud cannot be reached the stored organization and project are applied as-is and a warning says they were not verified, rather than the switch being refused. + +`unity context use` reports every setting with a `*` against the ones that changed. The `setting` values are stable machine tokens — `account`, `organization`, `project`, `editor`, `install-path` — in every format, human included, so a script can key on them. Only `unity context list`'s column *headers* are translated. + +Two name collisions worth knowing: this is unrelated to `unity build --profile`, which names a Unity Build Profile asset; and inside `unity shell`, bare `context` still prints that session's own ephemeral project/org selection, while `context ` reaches this group. + +--- + +### Hub — install the Unity Hub application + +Bootstrap Unity Hub on a clean machine from the command line. + +```bash +# Install the latest stable Hub for the current OS + architecture +unity hub install + +# Install a specific Hub version +unity hub install --hub-version 3.17.0 + +# Force reinstall even when Hub is already detected +unity hub install --force + +# Run the installer silently (Windows only) +unity hub install --headless + +# Override architecture (e.g. x64 Hub on Apple Silicon via Rosetta) +unity hub install --architecture x64 + +# Skip the installer code-signature check (unsigned/local builds — not recommended) +unity hub install --skip-signature-check +``` + +Options: `-f` / `--force`, `--headless` (silent installer, Windows only), `-a` / `--architecture x64|arm64` (env `UNITY_ARCHITECTURE`), `--hub-version ` (default `latest`, and a leading `v` as in `v3.17.0` is accepted), `--skip-signature-check`. + +**Integrity & signature verification** — every download is checked against the SHA-512 from the HTTPS manifest, then the installer's **code signature** is verified before it runs with elevation: on macOS via `codesign` (signer `Developer ID Application: Unity Technologies`), on Windows via Authenticode (signer subject `Unity Technologies`), checked *before* the UAC prompt.

It carries an **Accelerator** section alongside the Proxy one, reporting the resolved endpoint and its source and — when a project is in scope — that project's cache-server mode and pinned endpoint. Three states, mirroring Proxy: a table, a plain `No Unity Accelerator configured.` (the common case, not a fault), or `Accelerator state unknown` when the configuration could not be read. Nothing there is a *check*: whether the endpoint answers is `doctor --ci`'s question, because the default collector is synchronous and cannot make a network call. It also runs environment health checks and reports pass/warn per check (in every output format): whether the `unity` binary's directory is actually on `PATH` (the top post-install pitfall on Windows, where a new terminal is needed), whether multiple `unity` binaries shadow each other on `PATH`, whether Windows long-path support is enabled, and whether a git credential helper is configured (`git-credential-helper`: advisory for the git-token flows in `projects clone`/`create`/`link vcs`; the row is omitted on machines without git). + +A **"Third-party components"** section lists every open-source runtime dependency the binary bundles — the .NET runtime plus each direct NuGet package — with its version and SPDX license identifier, and points at `https://spdx.org/licenses/` for the full texts (not embedded, to keep the binary small). It's generated from the CLI's own build configuration, so it can never drift from what actually shipped, and it's informational only — never a pass/fail check. + +--- + +### CI init — scaffold a working CI workflow + +`unity ci init` writes a committed CI workflow generated from the project. Use it instead of assembling the steps by hand — it wires up the CLI's own CI features in the right order and encodes the parts that are otherwise learned by trial and error. + +```bash +# GitHub Actions -> .github/workflows/unity.yml (the default provider). +# With no --project-path, it works on the directory you ran it from. +unity ci init + +# GitLab CI -> .gitlab-ci.yml +unity ci init --provider gitlab + +# Scope the workflow to a build target (validated like `unity build --target`) +unity ci init --target Android + +# Review it before committing to anything +unity ci init --dry-run + +# Another project; replace a workflow that is already there +unity ci init --project-path ./MyProject --overwrite +``` + +The generated workflow installs the CLI, restores the editor download cache and the project's `Library/` folder, installs the editor version from `ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt`, activates a license, runs `unity doctor --ci` as a preflight, runs the tests with a JUnit report, builds, uploads the report and the build, and returns the license seat in a teardown step that runs even when the job failed or was cancelled. + +What it derives from the project: the editor version (rejected unless it parses as a real Unity version, since it is interpolated into an install command on the runner), and the editor module the build target needs where that is unambiguous — `Android`, `iOS`, `tvOS`, `WebGL`, `WindowsStoreApps`, `VisionOS`, `Lumin`. The standalone desktop targets get no module, because each has il2cpp / mono / server variants and picking one from the target alone would be a guess; asking for `StandaloneOSX` or `StandaloneWindows64` warns that the install step needs a `--module` you choose. + +Secrets are referenced by name only. The command never reads a credential and the generated file never contains one — it expects `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_ID`, `UNITY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SECRET`, and `UNITY_LICENSE_SERIAL` to exist as repository secrets, and reports which ones to add after it writes. + +Two things about licensing that the workflow states in comments, because they surprise people: service-account auth covers Unity *services*, not the editor licence, and `unity license activate --personal` is rejected outright for a service account. The generated step therefore activates from a serial, and ships the floating-server and offline-`.ulf` alternatives as commented blocks beside it. + +The project rides `--project-path`, like `list`, `status`, `mcp configure`, `pipeline install` and `collaboration` — not a positional operand as on `build` / `test` / `cache key`. It takes a path, not a registry project name, and defaults to the current directory, so the common case is a bare `unity ci init` from the project root. + +**Interactive vs scripted.** On a real terminal, anything you didn't pass is asked for: a picker for the provider, one for the build target, and one for how many parallel jobs to split the tests across (all three open on their default, so Enter accepts), plus a confirm before replacing a workflow that already exists. A flag always wins over its prompt, so `--provider gitlab --target Android --shards 4` asks nothing. + +Nothing prompts when any one of these holds — `--non-interactive` (or `UNITY_NON_INTERACTIVE`), a machine `--format` (`json`, `ndjson`, `tsv`), `--format github`, or a redirected stdout. In that case the unpassed values take their defaults (`github`, `StandaloneLinux64`, no sharding) and an existing workflow is an exit-2 error naming `--overwrite` rather than a question. That means a CI job or a script gets identical behaviour whether or not it happens to be attached to a terminal. + +**Splitting the suite: `--shards `.** Off by default, and offered by the picker on a terminal. Accepts 2 to 64 — `1` is rejected rather than generating a one-leg matrix, so there is no flag spelling for "no sharding"; omit it instead. More shards than tests is safe, because `unity test --shard` reports an empty slice and skips the editor instead of quietly running the whole suite. + +```bash +unity ci init --shards 4 +unity ci init --provider gitlab --shards 8 +``` + +Two things the generated matrix handles that a hand-written one usually does not. `unity test --shard N/M` splits the suite using an NUnit report from an *earlier* run, because the Editor cannot enumerate tests without running them — so a cold pipeline has nothing to split. Rather than fail, one shard runs the whole suite to write that inventory while the rest stand down: the first run is green and costs exactly one full suite. And a *stale* inventory is the dangerous case, since a test added after it was written would belong to no shard and run nowhere — green, and not running the new test. So the cached inventory is bound to a hash of every `.cs`, `.asmdef`, `.asmref` and `packages-lock.json` in the repository, and any change to them re-seeds the suite in full. (`unity cache key` deliberately ignores script changes, which is right for a `Library/` cache and wrong for this, so the inventory gets its own key.) + +The trade: a run that touches C# pays for one full unsharded suite, and a run that does not — assets, scenes, shaders, config, a retry, a scheduled build — is split `n` ways. Never slower than the unsharded workflow, and never under-tested. The build gets its own job, since inside the matrix it would run once per shard and burn `n` licence seats; both providers aggregate the per-shard JUnit reports themselves, so there is no merge step. + +`--dry-run` prints the workflow to stdout and nothing else, so it pipes into a file or a diff. `--format json` reports the written paths in `data.paths`, plus the resolved provider, editor version, build target, and module. Exit 2 on an unknown `--provider`, an invalid `--target`, an existing workflow file without `--overwrite`, or a stray positional argument; exit 6 when the directory isn't a Unity project or its editor version can't be read. Templates are embedded in the binary, so this works offline and always matches the CLI it ships with. + +--- + +### Doctor --ci — preflight before a long pipeline step + +```bash +# First step of a CI job: fail in seconds instead of after a long build +unity doctor --ci + +# Per-check results a workflow can branch on +unity doctor --ci --format json + +# Failed checks become inline annotations on the pull request +unity doctor --ci --format github +``` + +`--ci` replaces the diagnostic report with a **preflight**: it verifies the environment can actually finish a build or test run and exits non-zero when it cannot, so a pipeline fails fast rather than tens of minutes into a build. It checks an activatable license, the project's required editor, free disk space, and reachability of the Unity services endpoint, and folds the `PATH` / long-path / git-credential-helper checks in as advisory rows that never fail a job. + +Exit codes distinguish the two kinds of bad news, so a workflow can retry only what is worth retrying: + +| Exit | Meaning | +|---|---| +| `0` | Every blocking check passed. Warnings do not fail the preflight. | +| `6` | A definitive failure — no license, the required editor is not installed, disk below the floor. Retrying will not help. | +| `7` | The preflight could not reach a verdict because a required service was unreachable. Worth a retry. | + +A `6` outranks a `7` when both occur, so a real blocker is never reported as retryable. + +`--ci` also probes the configured Unity Accelerator, so a CI agent learns the cache server is down in seconds instead of discovering it as an unexplained twenty-minute import. **This check never blocks, in any arm** — an Accelerator is an accelerator, so an unreachable one is a `warn` (`ACCELERATOR_UNREACHABLE`, classified retryable) and a machine with none configured is an `info` row (`ACCELERATOR_NOT_CONFIGURED`). A project that does not use an Accelerator can never have its preflight failed by it. The probe targets the endpoint the CLI would hand to the Editor (the resolver's answer), not the project's own pinned endpoint. + +Every check carries a machine-readable `code` (`LICENSE_NONE`, `EDITOR_NOT_INSTALLED`, `DISK_SPACE_LOW`, `NETWORK_UNREACHABLE`, …) plus a remediation `hint`. In `--format json` the per-check results stay in `data` even on failure, with one coded entry per failure in `errors`. Output is redacted and carries no tokens and no absolute user paths, so it is safe to paste into a public CI log. + +`--ci` is always explicit — it is never inferred from `CI=true`, because a report that silently changed shape and exit code on a runner would be a trap. Note that the CLI already defaults to `--format tsv` whenever stdout is redirected, which in CI it usually is; that output leads with a `verdict` row. + +--- + +### Diagnose update — why this install is or is not updating + +```bash +unity diagnose update +unity diagnose update --json +``` + +Reports how this install resolves updates: the channel it tracks, the manifest it reads, the version it found, and whichever condition is holding an update back. Reach for it when `unity self-update` reports nothing to do but a newer version is known to exist, or when an install seems pinned to an old version. + +--- + +### Diagnose proxy — proxy diagnostic report + +```bash +# Print a redacted, paste-safe proxy diagnostic report for support +unity diagnose proxy + +# Machine-readable +unity diagnose proxy --json +``` + +Reports the resolved proxy and where it came from, PAC configuration, CA bundle, and credential-store and Kerberos checks — redacted so it's safe to paste into a support ticket. A copy is also written to the logs directory. For per-request proxy logging over the course of a repro, use the global `--log-proxy` flag (or `UNITY_LOG_PROXY=1`), which writes one redacted entry per outbound request to `proxy-request.json`. + +--- + +### Diagnose accelerator — Unity Accelerator diagnostic report + +```bash +# Resolved endpoint, project cache-server settings, and whether the endpoint answers +unity diagnose accelerator + +# Machine-readable +unity diagnose accelerator --json +``` + +A working Accelerator and a broken one produce identical output apart from wall-clock time. This is the command that tells them apart. It reports four sections: + +- **Resolved configuration** — the endpoint and its source (`env` / `settings` / `none`), and whether the Accelerator was disabled. This command does not accept `--accelerator` or `--no-accelerator` (both are scoped to `run` / `test` / `build`), so it reports what the env var and the persisted setting resolve to — the endpoint any command would start from, before a one-shot override. +- **Environment variables** — `UNITY_ACCELERATOR` by **presence only**, never by value (a host and port is infrastructure detail a support paste should not carry). The character length is included, enough to tell "set" from "set to empty". +- **Project cache server** — the project's `m_CacheServerMode` (as Unity's own inspector labels it) and `m_CacheServerEndpoint`, and whether they agree with the resolved endpoint. There is no "void case": a project's cache-server mode never makes an injected endpoint moot — command-line flags always win — so the report states a mismatch as a fact without claiming which side the Editor uses. +- **Reachability** — a raw TCP connect with a 5-second timeout, reporting elapsed time and a familiar error code on failure (`ENOTFOUND`, `ECONNREFUSED`, `ETIMEDOUT`, …). A successful connect proves the port is reachable, **not** that an import will get a cache hit, and the report says so. + +**An unreachable endpoint is a reported row, not a command failure** — the command exits `0` having successfully diagnosed a broken endpoint. `--format json` emits the standard envelope; every other format writes the plaintext report raw to stdout so it survives a pipe or a CI log. `--quiet` is honoured. Full explanation of the mechanism: `apps/cli/docs/accelerator.md`. + +--- + +### Environment + +```bash +# Show environment paths +unity env --format json + +# Returns: user data path, editor install path, download cache path, config path, CLI version, resolved proxy +``` + +--- + +### Version — machine-readable version object + +```bash +# Bare version string (backward compatible, unchanged) +unity --version + +# Structured version object +unity version --format json + +# The --version flag also honors an explicit format set before it +unity --format json --version +``` + +`unity version` reports the CLI version, release channel (`stable`, `beta`, …), commit, platform, architecture, and runtime — the same version fact `env` and `doctor` carry, as one parseable object. It honors `--format` (`human`, `json`, `tsv`, `ndjson`); human output is the bare version string. + +A bare `unity --version` still prints only the version string, so scripts that parse it are unaffected. The `--version` flag switches to the structured object only when an explicit machine format is given *before* it (`unity --json --version`, `unity --format json --version`, or `UNITY_FORMAT=json unity --version`) — the flag terminates parsing, so a trailing format after `--version` is not seen. For order-independent machine output, prefer the `unity version` subcommand. + +--- + +### Cache + +```bash +# Show cache location and size +unity cache info --format json + +# Clear download cache +unity cache clean --yes +``` + +--- + +### Cache key — deterministic key for CI cache steps + +`unity cache key` prints one hash derived from the inputs that actually invalidate a project's build cache: the editor version, the resolved package set, and (optionally) the build target. Use it as the `key:` of a CI cache step instead of hand-rolling the hashing. + +```bash +# Print the key for the project in the current directory +unity cache key + +# Scope it to a build target — a Library/ folder is platform-specific +unity cache key --target Android + +# Any project path +unity cache key ./MyProject +``` + +Whenever stdout is not an interactive terminal — a pipe, a redirect, or any CI runner — the key is the only thing written to it, so it drops straight into a shell substitution or a workflow expression. (On an interactive colour terminal the CLI's usual one-line banner still prints above it, as it does for every command; `--quiet` suppresses that.) + +Pass the project path if the workflow's working directory isn't the project: + +```yaml +- id: cachekey + run: echo "key=$(unity cache key MyProject --target Android)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT" +- uses: actions/cache@v4 + with: + path: MyProject/Library + key: Library-${{ steps.cachekey.outputs.key }} +``` + +What moves the key, and what doesn't: + +- **Changes** when the editor version (`ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt`), the package set (`Packages/packages-lock.json`, falling back to `Packages/manifest.json`), or `--target` changes. +- **Does not change** for unrelated edits — scenes, scripts, assets, or project settings other than the version file. +- **Is identical across machines and operating systems** for the same inputs. Line endings and a UTF-8 BOM are normalized before hashing, so a Windows checkout with `core.autocrlf` and a Linux one agree. No paths, usernames, or timestamps enter the hash. + +`--format json` returns the key plus each component's raw value and hash, so one invocation can build a layered key with fallback levels: + +```bash +unity cache key --target Android --format json +``` + +`--component ` prints just one component's hash for the fallback levels themselves. Under `--format json` it also sets `data.key` to that component, so `jq -r .data.key` means the same thing either way: + +```bash +# Restore any cache built for this editor, whatever the packages were +unity cache key --component editor +``` + +Runs without an editor and without network access. Exit 2 on an unknown `--target` or `--component` (a silently-accepted typo would produce a key nothing else matches); exit 6 when the directory isn't a Unity project. A project with neither package file still emits a key, with a warning that it doesn't cover the package set. + +--- + +### Analytics — usage/telemetry consent + +The CLI defaults to **opt-out**. On the first interactive run a prompt is shown once before any data is collected; it now requires an explicit `y` or `n` — pressing Enter alone re-asks instead of silently recording the opt-out default, so an accidental keystroke can't lock in an answer. Ctrl-C skips the prompt and keeps the opt-out default. Non-interactive, CI, piped, and `--quiet` contexts silently keep the opt-out default. + +Running `unity analytics opt-in` or `opt-out` permanently answers the first-run prompt, so a choice recorded from a script (where the prompt never appears) isn't asked again on the next interactive run. To suppress the prompt *without* recording a choice — for a wrapper script on an interactive terminal that must never absorb it — set `UNITY_NO_CONSENT_PROMPT` (analytics stay off until you explicitly opt in). + +```bash +# Show current consent status +unity analytics status +unity analytics status --format json + +# Opt in to anonymous usage data collection +unity analytics opt-in + +# Opt out (the default) +unity analytics opt-out +``` + +Consent is stored in the shared Hub privacy preferences, so opting out in the CLI also opts out in Hub, and vice versa. When opted **in**, the CLI records which commands run (registered command names only — never your arguments, paths, or project names), editor uninstalls, project open/create (editor version and template id only), CLI self-update/uninstall outcomes, `unity shell` and `unity mcp` session usage, and `unity doctor` / `unity bug` results. When opted out (the default), no events are sent. + +Separately from analytics, the CLI reports **anonymous crashes and errors** via Sentry to help fix bugs (no IP address or hostname; home-directory paths and token-like values scrubbed before send), aligned with the Unity Hub. Opting in to analytics additionally attaches an anonymized machine id so crash-free-user rates can be computed; opted-out users stay fully anonymous. Set `UNITY_NO_CRASH_REPORT` to disable crash reporting entirely. + +Separately again, every run — including one that never sees the consent prompt (CI, an agent, a machine `--format`) — sends one anonymous `cli telemetry` usage ping, so total CLI usage can be counted regardless of the analytics opt-in state. It is not a measure of who opted in and carries no user, machine, or session identifier (a fresh random id per invocation, never persisted) and no consent state — just which Unity tool sent it, the CLI version, and whether the run looks like CI. Set `UNITY_NO_CLI_INVOKED_TELEMETRY=1` to disable it. `unity analytics status` discloses it alongside the opt-in state. + +--- + +### Changelog + +Show the release notes for the installed CLI version, or with `--target`, for another release. `--target latest` shows the newest release on your channel, the one `unity self-update` would install: + +```bash +unity changelog +unity changelog --target 1.0.0-beta.10 +unity changelog --target latest +unity changelog --format json +``` + +--- + +### Docs — version-matched Unity documentation + +Open the documentation page for a class or topic in the default browser, matched +to the editor version of the project you are in: + +```bash +unity docs GameObject # scripting API reference +unity docs --manual Coroutines # the manual instead +unity docs --search "physics raycast" # the documentation search results +unity docs --url Rigidbody.AddForce # print the URL, do not open it +unity docs --cli use-unity-cli # the Unity CLI's own documentation +unity docs --hub project-create # the Unity Hub documentation +unity docs --cloud developer-data/collection-settings # Unity Cloud +``` + +The version is read from the current project's +`ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt` — no editor has to be installed. Outside a +project, the current documentation is used. `--editor-version` overrides it and +accepts either a full version (`6000.0.26f1`) or a version branch (`6000.0`); an +unparseable value is a usage failure rather than a silent fallback to the wrong +version's docs. + +**For an agent, `--url` is the useful mode:** it prints the resolved address to +stdout and opens nothing, so it composes into a citation or a review comment. +`--format json` carries the same address plus the `version` the page was matched +to (`null` when no project version was found), which is how a caller tells a +version-matched answer from a fallback one. + +A topic that cannot name a documentation page — a phrase, or anything with a +path separator — falls back to the documentation search for that section rather +than composing an address that would 404. A trailing `.html` is dropped, so a +page name pasted out of a browser address bar resolves. + +#### Documentation sets outside the Editor docs + +`--cli`, `--hub` and `--cloud` look the topic up on Unity's documentation +platform instead of the Editor documentation. These are separate bodies of +documentation rather than newer addresses for the same pages, so the two sites +answer different questions: + +|Flag|Documentation| +|---|---| +|*(default)*|Editor scripting API reference, version-matched| +|`--manual`|Editor manual, version-matched| +|`--cli`|The Unity CLI| +|`--hub`|The Unity Hub| +|`--cloud`|Unity Cloud| + +Those pages are not versioned by editor, so they take no version: `--editor-version` +alongside one of them is a usage failure rather than a value that gets quietly +dropped. The four selectors are mutually exclusive, and passing two is a usage +failure too rather than one of them silently winning. + +Page names on these sets are lowercase and hyphenated, and may carry more than +one segment (`developer-data/collection-settings`). Anything else — a phrase, or +a name in the wrong case — falls back to the platform's search page, the same +fallback rule the Editor sections use. + +--- + +### Language + +```bash +# Show current language and available options +unity language + +# Set language by code +unity language --set en +unity language --set ja +unity language --set zh-hans + +# Alias +unity lang --set ko +``` + +On a TTY with no flags, shows an interactive selection prompt. `--set` accepts common spellings of a language code — BCP-47 (`ja-JP`), locale (`ja_JP`), a bare language (`ja`), or a bare region (`jp`) — and resolves them case-insensitively when the match is unambiguous (`zh` still asks you to pick `zh_cn` or `zh_tw`). Display names and ordering come from the shared Hub language catalog. The regional variants Spanish (Latin America), French (Canada), and Portuguese (Portugal) are no longer offered; Spanish, French, and Portuguese (Brazil) remain. + +--- + +### Completion — shell tab completion + +Generate and install shell completion scripts: + +```bash +# Supported shells: bash, zsh, fish, powershell +unity completion bash +unity completion zsh +unity completion fish +unity completion powershell +``` + +--- + +### Bug — report a bug + +Interactive bug reporter that collects system info and recent logs, then submits to Unity: + +```bash +# Interactive — prompts for each field +unity bug + +# Non-interactive — supply the report through flags (works from scripts, CI, piped shells) +unity bug \ + --title "Editor crashes on project open" \ + --description "Opening MyGame hard-crashes the editor." \ + --steps "Open the CLI" --steps "Run unity open MyGame" --steps "Editor window closes" \ + --reproducibility always \ + --area editor \ + --email you@example.com \ + --attachments ./crash.log ./notes.txt \ + --share-project . +``` + +Prompts for title, description, email, reproducibility level, and which area the issue is in. As of `0.1.0-beta.8` it collects the same diagnostic system information as the Unity Hub bug reporter (including GPU details). + +The report can also be supplied entirely through flags — `--title`, `--description`, `--steps` (repeatable, one line per value), `--reproducibility `, and `--email` (defaults to your Unity account email when signed in; otherwise required). On a terminal, any flags you pass skip their prompts and the remaining fields still ask; a non-interactive run submits without prompting. A non-interactive run with missing or invalid fields fails fast with a usage error (exit 2) listing the exact flags to add. + +Use `--area ` to say which part of Unity the issue is in: the CLI itself, the connection to the Editor or the Pipeline package (`com.unity.pipeline`), the Editor or your project, or licensing and signing in. Pass it whenever you know, because a failure that surfaces in CLI output is otherwise easy to misroute as a CLI bug when the Editor or the Pipeline package is at fault. It's optional and never blocks a report: pass `not-sure` when you don't know, or leave it out. On a terminal without `--area`, the reporter asks, with "Not sure" preselected; a non-interactive run without it submits with no area, the same report it sent before the flag existed. An unknown value is a usage error (exit 2). The answer is sent with the report as an `Issue area:` line in the report text, which is what triage sees. + +Use `--attachments ` (repeatable) to attach extra files — for example a crash log or a zipped copy of a subset of assets. Each path must be an existing, readable file; a folder is rejected (zip it yourself first), and a missing or unreadable path fails fast with a usage error (exit 2) naming the offending path. + +Use `--share-project ` (use `.` for the current directory) to attach a copy of the Unity project the bug is about — the same stripped-project packaging the Editor's bug reporter uses. It sends the source folders plus a slimmed `Library`, excluding the regenerable caches and build output (`Library` caches, `Temp`, `Build`, `Logs`, VCS/IDE metadata, `MemoryCaptures`, `CrashReports`), so you don't have to zip the project yourself. A path that isn't a Unity project fails fast with exit 2. The archive is streamed from disk during upload, so there's no size limit — even a multi-gigabyte project copy uploads without being buffered in memory. + +Interactively, when you don't pass `--attachments` or `--share-project`, the reporter asks whether to attach files and whether to include a project copy. When the area answer is `editor` or `pipeline-package`, the project-copy question first explains why a copy helps with those issues; it still defaults to no, and nothing is shared unless you answer yes. Everything — attachments and the project copy — is bundled into the same archive as the auto-collected logs. + +#### `unity bug mcp`: check for known issues before filing + +Before filing a report, add Unity's Issue Tracker MCP server to an AI assistant so it can search for known issues on your behalf: + +```bash +unity bug mcp claude +unity bug mcp --list +unity bug mcp cursor --local +unity bug mcp claude --dry-run +``` + +`unity bug mcp [client]` is exactly `unity mcp configure [client] --server issue-tracker`. It delegates to the same `mcp configure` execution with the target server fixed, so it accepts the same `client` argument and the same `--list`, `--local`, `--yes`, and `--dry-run` flags (no `--server` flag here, since the server is already fixed). See the MCP configuration section in `integration-advanced.md` for the full client list, config paths, and what each flag does; `unity bug --help` also points here. This adds no new required prompt to the bug-report wizard, since it's a separate, optional subcommand, and the interactive wizard prints a one-line reminder about it before asking its own questions. + +--- + +### Self-update — update the CLI itself + +```bash +# Check for available updates +unity self-update --check --format json + +# Show changelog for the new version +unity self-update --changelog + +# Update (interactive confirmation) +unity self-update + +# Update without prompts +unity self-update --yes + +# Install a specific version (v0.2.0 works too; latest is the same as no --target) +unity self-update --target 0.2.0 + +# Select update channel (stable or beta) +unity self-update --channel beta + +# Dry-run: show what would change +unity self-update --dry-run + +# Rollback to previous version +unity self-update --rollback +``` + +`unity self-update` detects how the CLI was installed and updates accordingly (`unity upgrade` is still accepted as an alias): + +- **`curl | sh` install** — keeps updating itself in place. +- **Linux AppImage** — updates in place: downloads the new `.AppImage` artifact, verifies its checksum against the release manifest, and atomically replaces the AppImage you launched (`--rollback` restores the previous one). The embedded zsync update info is preserved, so external updaters (AppImageUpdate, Gear Lever) keep working. +- **Package-manager install** — points you at the owning manager instead of replacing the binary. The `.deb` and `.rpm` packages are published to Unity's apt and rpm repositories on every beta and GA release (rpm packages are GPG-signed), so a package-managed install stays current through the system package manager: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade unity-cli` on Debian/Ubuntu, `sudo dnf upgrade unity-cli` on Fedora/RHEL. + +Downloads go through the CLI’s regular download engine: an interrupted download (a dropped connection, a closed lid, a Ctrl-C) resumes from where it left off on the next `unity self-update`, and a Brotli-compressed artifact is preferred when the release publishes one — verified against its own checksum and again after decompression. A release with no compressed artifact for your platform falls back to the raw download. + +`--check`, `--changelog`, and `--dry-run` work everywhere. The background "update available" notice is package-manager-aware: when the release manifest says your install's package manager already carries the new version, the notice suggests that manager's exact upgrade command instead of `unity self-update`; installs whose manager doesn't carry the release yet stay quiet. + +The same background check also warns when a self-installed `unity` and a Homebrew-managed one are **both** on `PATH` — a state where `which unity` keeps resolving to the self-installed copy while `brew upgrade` updates the other, so the two silently drift apart. The notice points at `unity self-uninstall -y` to remove the self-installed copy so Homebrew is the only one managing updates going forward. + +--- + +### Self-uninstall — remove the CLI + +```bash +# Uninstall the CLI (interactive confirmation) +unity self-uninstall + +# Uninstall without prompts +unity self-uninstall --yes + +# Also remove config and data files +unity self-uninstall --purge --yes + +# Dry-run: show what would be removed +unity self-uninstall --dry-run +``` + +> **`unity implode` was removed** in `0.1.0-beta.8` (it was previously a deprecated alias).

With `--remove` in a non-interactive shell and no `-y, --yes`, it refuses rather than deleting unprompted. "Unused" is judged against the **project registry** (`unity projects list`), so an editor used only by a project you never registered counts as unused — register it first, or verify with `unity editors prune` before adding `--remove`. + +**`--remove-missing` is a separate, safer candidate class:** editors registered with `unity editors add` (typically internal branch builds) whose recorded install path no longer resolves on disk at all. + +```bash +# Also report editors whose install path is already gone +unity editors prune --remove-missing + +# Drop those entries from the editor list (prompts to confirm) +unity editors prune --remove-missing --yes +``` + +Unlike `--remove`, this never touches the filesystem — the folder is already gone, so there is nothing to delete, and confirming only updates the registry. It doesn't require the running-editor check to succeed, since nothing can be running out of a folder that no longer exists. The two flags are independent and neither implies the other; `--format json`/`ndjson` carry the missing-path rows under `data.missing`. + +#### editors verify + +Structurally verifies an installed editor: checks that its files and modules are actually present on disk.

Also via UNITY_NO_ELEVATE=1. +unity install 6000.0.47f1 --no-elevate --yes --accept-eula +``` + +A transient editor or module download failure (a dropped connection, a truncated transfer) is retried with the same bounded policy `install-modules` already uses (two attempts by default; `UNITY_INSTALL_RETRIES` sets the count for both commands, and the `--retries` flag exists on `install-modules` only — `unity install` has no such flag) before the install fails. When installing an editor with several modules, a failed module no longer aborts the whole batch — `unity install` (and `unity install-modules`) continue with the remaining items and exit non-zero if any failed. Each editor and module is listed as installed (✓), failed (✗), or pending (·); the NDJSON `result` frame carries the same breakdown as an `items` array (each entry has `uid`, `name`, `kind`, `status`), so scripts can tell exactly which modules succeeded even on a non-zero exit. + +**NDJSON progress frames** for `unity install` and `unity install-modules` include a `phase: 'download' | 'install'` field so scripts can switch to an indeterminate spinner during the install phase (which is genuinely indeterminate — NSIS on Windows only reports success/failure). During the install phase, `pct` is locked at 50 and only jumps to 100 on completion. Module download/install progress is nested under the parent editor via `parentItemUid`, so consumers see one editor group with its modules rather than one group per module. + +On an interactive terminal, `unity install` also reports progress to the terminal application itself via the `OSC 9;4` escape sequence — on Windows Terminal the taskbar icon fills with download/install progress and spinners show as indeterminate, so you don't need to keep the window focused. It's emitted only on a TTY (never in piped or machine-consumed output), always cleared on exit, and ignored by terminals that don't support it. + +Module installers honor the per-module install command from the release manifest (e.g. Visual Studio on Windows uses `--passive`, not `/S`); the resolved command is surfaced in `unity modules list --json`. `unity install` self-heals a corrupted partial download by discarding the bad partial and re-downloading; a cross-process install lock prevents two concurrent installs of the same version from corrupting the unpack. + +**Waiting on another install.** The Hub and the CLI share one install lock, so while the Hub (or another CLI) is installing, `unity install`, `unity install-modules` and `unity projects require` print `Waiting for another install to finish before continuing…` on stderr and carry on once it finishes. That wait has no limit by default. In a script or CI job, bound it: + +```bash +# Fail at once if another install is already running, before this item is downloaded +unity install 6000.0.47f1 --yes --no-wait + +# Wait up to 10 minutes in total, then fail the same way +unity install-modules -e 6000.0.47f1 -m android --wait-timeout 600 +``` + +`--wait-timeout ` takes a whole number of seconds greater than 0 (digits only: `5m` and `1.5` are rejected) and is one budget for the whole command, not per module; `--no-wait` wins if both are given. Either way the command exits **9** with error code `INSTALL_LOCK_BUSY` (in the json envelope's `errors[].code`, and in the ndjson `result` frame), distinct from a failed install's exit 6, so a script can retry later. The error says another install is in progress and to run the command again once it finishes; the "Waiting for another install" line on stderr only appears while a wait is running, the default one or a bounded one, and never under `--no-wait`. + +The lock is taken per item, so exit 9 does not mean nothing changed. `--no-wait` refuses an item before its download only when the lock is already held; if the Hub takes it while the item downloads, the item fails after the download. And `unity install -m android --no-wait` can install the editor, then stop at the module: check `data.completedUids` in the ndjson `result` frame, and finish with `unity install-modules -e -m android` rather than re-running `unity install`, which now fails because the editor is already installed. A second `unity install` of the **same** version fails at once with exit 6 ("Another install of … is already in progress") before it reaches this lock, whatever the flags. + +#### Linux arm64: experimental x86_64 Editor under FEX-Emu + +Unity ships no Linux arm64 Editor. On a Linux arm64 host you can opt in to running the x86_64 Editor under [FEX-Emu](https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX) by setting `UNITY_EXPERIMENTAL_FEX_EMU=1`. The opt-in takes effect only when a FEX-Emu entry point (`FEX`, or the older `FEXLoader`) is on PATH and an x86_64 RootFS resolves (`FEX_ROOTFS`, or the `RootFS` in FEX-Emu's own `Config.json`); `unity doctor` reports both as its `fex-emu` row. While it is active, `unity install` defaults to `x86_64`, and every Editor launch (`open`, `projects open`, `run`, `test`, `build`, `projects create`) runs as `FEX ` with no `binfmt_misc` needed. + +This is **experimental and unsupported**: C# script compilation is known to crash under FEX-Emu ([FEX-Emu/FEX#5766](https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/issues/5766)), so don't use it for real development. Every command it affects says so: a warning on stderr for human and tsv output, and a `FEX_EMU_EXPERIMENTAL` entry in the envelope's `notifications` for json and ndjson. Without the opt-in nothing changes. + +### Uninstall + +```bash +# Uninstall an editor version +unity uninstall 6000.0.47f1 --yes + +# Uninstall a specific architecture +unity uninstall 6000.0.47f1 --architecture arm64 --yes +``` + +--- + +### Modules — add/list per editor + +```bash +# List modules for an installed editor +unity modules list 6000.0.47f1 --format json + +# Filter by architecture +unity modules list 6000.0.47f1 --architecture arm64 --format json +``` + +`unity modules list` honors `--format ndjson` (empty results emit a clean, empty NDJSON stream).

With a project nested inside another, the deepest match wins. + +**Pass `--project-path` whenever more than one Editor may be running.** Relying on step 3 means the target depends on the shell's cwd, which is rarely what an agent intends and is invisible in the command it ran.

Everything below describes the shared resolver only. + +When step 3 selects nothing — the cwd is inside none of the running projects, or two candidates tie — the CLI does **not** guess.

A clone's own project directory is MPPM scaffolding (`/Library/VP/`) and its project name is that directory's name, so identify it by the fields instead: + +| Field | Main Editor | Clone | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `role` | `main` | `clone` | +| `instanceName` | `Main Editor` | `Player 2` | +| `vpId` | absent | `mppmd4d80c98` | +| `ownerProjectPath` (`pipeline list` only) | absent | the project being played | + +All four are present only when the installed `com.unity.pipeline` publishes them; a bundle that does not simply omits them. They are carried in `human`, `json`, and `ndjson` — the `tsv` columns are unchanged. + +**The resolver does not treat a clone as a separate candidate.** Step 3 above collapses a project's own clones into its main Editor, so a project running virtual players resolves the way it did before MPPM was visible rather than failing `AMBIGUOUS_EDITOR`. Two consequences worth knowing: + +- To drive a specific player, pass its clone directory to `--project-path` — take `projectPath` for the row whose `instanceName` is that player. That reads the clone's descriptor directly and bypasses the collapse. +- A clone whose main Editor is **not** reachable is still offered as a candidate, since it is then the only way to reach that project. + +### MCP — Model Context Protocol server (AI agent integration) + +New in `0.1.0-beta.8`. `unity mcp` starts a Model Context Protocol server, built into the `unity` binary, that exposes the commands of a connected Unity Editor as MCP tools. AI agent clients connect over stdio, list those tools, and run them. The server starts even when no Editor is running and reports that it isn't connected; commands that a connected Editor adds show up as tools automatically. + +```bash +# Start the MCP stdio server (usually launched by the AI client, not by hand) +unity mcp + +# Pin the server to a specific Unity project (the CLI discovers the running Editor itself) +unity mcp --project-path /path/to/MyProject + +# Same, from the environment (the flag wins when both are set) +UNITY_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/MyProject unity mcp +``` + +`unity mcp` no longer accepts `--instance `: talking to an Editor requires that Editor's per-instance auth token, which a bare host and port can't carry, so the CLI always discovers running Editors itself — run from the project directory or pass `--project-path` to target one. Editors launched to create a new project (`-createproject`) are discovered too. + +The `capture_game_view` / `capture_scene_view` tools fall back to an OS-level screenshot of the whole desktop when the Editor’s main thread does not respond in time (a modal dialog, for example); the result says so in a note, since it captures the screen rather than the specific view. The server also declares support for `tools/list_changed` and notifies the client when the tool catalog changes, so a session started before any Editor was running picks up the Editor’s tools without a restart. + +#### mcp configure — register the server in an AI client + +Writes the Unity MCP server entry into an AI client's config in one step, preserving every other key in the file. 16 clients are supported: `claude`, `claude-code`, `cursor`, `vscode`, `vscode-insiders`, `copilot-cli`, `windsurf`, `cline`, `codex`, `kiro`, `trae`, `openclaw`, `antigravity`, `zed`, `continue`, `inspect`. + +```bash +# List all supported clients and their config paths +unity mcp configure --list + +# Configure a client +unity mcp configure claude +unity mcp configure claude-code + +# Project-local config for clients that support it (cursor, vscode, vscode-insiders, kiro, codex) +unity mcp configure cursor --local + +# Pin to a project (configure ignores UNITY_PROJECT_PATH); skip the "already exists, update?" prompt; preview without writing +unity mcp configure claude --project-path /path/to/MyProject +unity mcp configure vscode --yes +unity mcp configure vscode --dry-run + +# Register a different Unity MCP server than the default `editor` one +unity mcp configure claude --server +``` + +`--server ` picks which Unity MCP server the entry points at; it defaults to `editor`, which is the one you want unless you have been told otherwise. `--dry-run` prints only the entry that would be added or changed, not the whole config file. `continue` no longer writes a file — Continue reads `config.yaml`, not the deprecated `config.json` — and prints setup instructions instead. `codex` also relaxes Codex’s sandbox network policy so `unity mcp` and a direct `unity command` can reach the Editor over localhost, and refuses any edit to `config.toml` it cannot prove safe rather than corrupting the file. Every client config write is atomic, and a `--local` write refuses to follow a symlinked path component. `claude-code` first checks your enabled Claude Code plugins: if one already provides an MCP server that runs `unity mcp` for the same project, it warns and skips its own registration unless you confirm, or pass `--yes` to register a separate copy anyway (`--dry-run` reports that it would skip). + +--- + +### Setup — install the Unity plugin into Claude Code + +`unity setup claude` installs Unity's Claude Code plugin, which carries the Unity skills (this one included), in one step. It runs the two `claude` commands for you — `claude plugin marketplace add Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin` and then `claude plugin install unity@unity-agent-plugin`, both at user scope — and reports what you now have. It changes the user's Claude Code configuration, so run it only when the user asks for the Unity plugin, or after they agree to install it; don't run it on your own initiative. + +```bash +# Install the plugin (safe to re-run: an existing install is reported, not reinstalled) +unity setup claude + +# Print the two claude commands without running them +unity setup claude --dry-run + +# Machine-readable result +unity setup claude --format json +``` + +The json `data` carries `pluginId`, `version`, `scope`, `alreadyInstalled`, `takesEffect`, `reloadCommand`, `installedAt`, `skillsPath` and `commands` (the `claude` commands it ran). A plugin installed from a terminal loads in the **next** Claude Code session, so a fresh install reports `takesEffect: "nextSession"`; in a session that is already open, run `/reload-plugins` to load it now. Until then, read its skills straight from `skillsPath`. An install that already existed reports `takesEffect: "currentSession"` and `commands: []`. + +- **`claude` not on your PATH** — fails with error code `CLAUDE_NOT_FOUND` (exit 6) and names the two commands to run yourself, or the `/plugin marketplace add` and `/plugin install` equivalents inside Claude Code. An existing install is still reported without `claude` on PATH. +- **A `claude` step fails or times out** — fails with `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_INSTALL_FAILED` (exit 6), quoting the last line `claude` printed. Nothing is retried. +- It reads `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` when set, the same place `claude` writes. + +Because the plugin already carries the `unity-cli` skill, don't also run `unity skill install claude-code` — Claude Code would load two copies. This command never writes a skill copy or an MCP registration of its own. + +### Setup — install the Unity plugin into Codex or Grok Build + +`unity setup codex` and `unity setup grok` do the same for Codex and Grok Build, with the same rules: run one only when the user asks for the Unity plugin in that agent, or after they agree to install it. + +- `unity setup codex` runs `codex plugin marketplace add Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin`, then `codex plugin add unity@unity-agent-plugin`. It reads `CODEX_HOME` when set (default `~/.codex`). A plugin disabled in Codex (`enabled = false`) counts as not installed, so this adds it again. If `codex` isn't on your PATH it fails with `CODEX_NOT_FOUND`; a failed or timed-out step fails with `CODEX_PLUGIN_INSTALL_FAILED`. +- `unity setup grok` runs `grok plugin install Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin --trust`. `--trust` is Grok Build's own consent flag for a non-interactive install; running this command is that consent. It reads `GROK_HOME` when set (default `~/.grok`). If `grok` isn't on your PATH it fails with `GROK_NOT_FOUND` and points at `/marketplace` inside Grok Build; a failed or timed-out step fails with `GROK_PLUGIN_INSTALL_FAILED`. + +```bash +unity setup codex --dry-run +unity setup grok --format json +``` + +Both take `--dry-run` and every output format, and report the same json `data` as `setup claude`, except `reloadCommand` is `null`: neither agent has a reload command, so a fresh install loads in the next session (`takesEffect: "nextSession"`). The plugin carries the `unity-cli` skill, so don't also run `unity skill install codex` (or the Grok equivalent). + +--- + +### Skill — install this skill into an AI client + +`unity mcp configure` gives a client the Unity **tools**; `unity skill install` gives it these **docs**. The skill tree is embedded in the CLI binary at build time, so it always matches the installed CLI and needs no network access. + +```bash +# See the supported clients, their install paths, and current install status +unity skill install --list + +# Install into a client's user-global skills directory +unity skill install claude-code + +# Install into the current project instead of the user-global location +unity skill install cursor --local + +# Overwrite an existing install without prompting; preview without writing +unity skill install claude-code --yes +unity skill install codex --dry-run +``` + +Supported clients: `claude-code`, `claude-desktop`, `grok`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `vscode`, `cline`, `codex`. Each is written in the format that client expects, at its platform-correct location. Not every client supports both scopes — some are user-global only, others project-local only — and `--list` reports which, so check there rather than guessing. + +A `--local` install also picks up the skill the project's `com.unity.pipeline` package ships (`.claude/skills/unity-pipeline/` inside the package) and mirrors it beside `unity-cli` — e.g. into `.claude/skills/unity-pipeline/` for `claude-code`. A resolved package lives under `Library/PackageCache`, which no client's skill discovery reads, so this mirror is what makes the package's own skill loadable; a project without the package installs `unity-cli` alone. `unity skill refresh` re-reads the mirrored copy from the project's package, and reports rather than deletes when the package is gone. The package skill never installs user-globally — it versions with the project's own package. + +`codex` installs a real skill directory (`~/.agents/skills/unity-cli`, or `.agents/skills/unity-cli` with `--local`), which is where Codex looks for skills. Earlier CLI versions instead merged the whole skill into a shared `AGENTS.md`, which Codex reads at the start of every session, so the entire skill was charged to sessions that had nothing to do with Unity. Installing or refreshing now removes that leftover block and reports the file it cleaned. If it finds more than one such block it leaves the file alone and says so, rather than guessing which block is Unity's. + +```bash +# Re-render every tracked install against the embedded skill tree +unity skill refresh + +# Non-interactive / preview +unity skill refresh --yes +unity skill refresh --dry-run +``` + +Every install is tracked, so `unity skill refresh` re-renders all of them at once and drops tracking for any whose location has since disappeared. **Run it after `unity self-update`** — the embedded skill ships with the binary, so an updated CLI leaves previously-installed copies stale until they're refreshed. + +Two safety behaviors: writing through a symlink is refused rather than followed, and `--local` from your home directory warns first, since for most clients that either duplicates the global install or writes somewhere the client never reads. + +If you last installed the Codex skill with an older CLI, `unity skill refresh` migrates it: it writes the skill directory, strips the old `AGENTS.md` block, and replaces the tracking entry. + +#### skill show — read the skill without installing it + +`unity skill show` prints the embedded skill straight to stdout — no prompt, no file written, no network call — for a client (or an agent already reading this skill) that only wants the content, not a filesystem write it may not be permitted to make. + +```bash +# The skill's SKILL.md (default) +unity skill show + +# List every embedded file (SKILL.md first, then docs and references, in sort order) +unity skill show --list + +# Show one specific file from that list +unity skill show --path references/auth-license-cloud.md + +# Machine-readable — { path, content, files }; path/content are null for --list +unity skill show --format json +``` + +An unrecognized `--path` fails with a usage error (exit 2) naming the available paths. + +#### skill list / disable / enable — turn one skill off without uninstalling it + +Every installed skill's frontmatter is loaded in every session of the client that found it, whether or not the skill is ever used — so the cost scales with how many skills are *installed*, not how many are useful on this project. `unity skill disable` turns one off and leaves its files in place. + +```bash +# Every tracked install, with its enabled state +unity skill list +unity skill list --format json + +# Turn a skill off everywhere it is installed +unity skill disable unity-pipeline + +# …or only for one client +unity skill disable unity-cli --client codex + +# Preview, then turn it back on +unity skill disable unity-cli --dry-run +unity skill enable unity-cli +``` + +Disabling renames the skill's `SKILL.md` to `SKILL.md.disabled` and records the choice. Every supported client discovers a skill by finding `SKILL.md` in its directory, so that one rename is what stops it loading — on all of them, identically. The rest of the tree stays where it is, which makes enabling a rename back rather than a reinstall. + +`unity skill refresh` skips a disabled skill and keeps tracking it, so a refresh never silently switches one back on. `unity skill install ` does re-enable it, and says so — installing is an explicit request to have the skill active. + +`unity skill install --list` reports a disabled install as `disabled` rather than `installed`, and `unity skill list` is the only view that also covers package- and plugin-provided skills. + +An unknown skill name fails with a usage error (exit 2) listing the names that *are* installed. A skill still installed in the pre-2026 single-file layout is skipped with a pointer to `unity skill refresh`, which migrates it to a directory first. + +--- + +### Plugin — manage optional CLI-adjacent tools + +The CLI resolves a small set of external tools and runtimes it needs for specific features — Plastic SCM's `cm` client (aliases `plastic`, `uvcs`, needed for `unity vcs uvcs …` / `unity cm …`), the Unity Licensing Client (`licensingClient`, needed for `unity license`), and the Unity Gaming Services CLI (`ugs`) — on demand, from a small versioned registry. `unity plugin` manages that resolution explicitly instead of waiting for a command to trigger it. + +`unity plugin list --format json` is how an agent learns which plugins exist and what they do: every row carries a `description` (one or two plain-language sentences on what the plugin is for), alongside its `id`, `kind`, `state`, and resolved path, for an installed and a not-installed plugin alike. Read that field rather than guessing from the id or `displayName` alone. + +```bash +# What's resolved, and from where (PATH, or a CLI-managed copy under the external-modules dir) +unity plugin list +unity plugin list --versions # probe each installed component's real version (costs a subprocess per component) +unity plugin list --refresh # re-fetch the registry document instead of reading the cached one + +# Install one by id or alias +unity plugin install plastic # same target as `unity plugin install cm` / `unity plugin install uvcs` +unity plugin install ugs + +# Remove a CLI-managed copy (never a PATH install the CLI didn't create; prompts unless -y/--yes) +unity plugin remove plastic --yes + +# Update everything with a managed install to the newest compatible version +unity plugin upgrade +unity plugin upgrade plastic +``` + +`plugin install`/`upgrade` accept `--offline` to resolve only against the cached/embedded registry document (no network attempt). `plugin remove` requires confirmation — pass `-y`/`--yes` non-interactively — and discloses the bytes it will free (including superseded leftovers) before asking; removing the licensing client warns that it can break `unity license` and `unity bug`. + +A row for a runtime (a component a tool needs, such as the licensing client) carries `source` in `--format json`/`ndjson` and as the last `tsv` column: `machine` (a copy already on the computer), `package-manager` (installed through Homebrew, winget, apt or dnf), or `managed` (the CLI's own download). It is `null` for a tool. `plugin list` and `doctor` report the same value. A runtime row that ends `dependency-unavailable` means no usable copy was found and the runtime is not one the CLI downloads; the message above it names the install command to run. + +#### plugin upgrade — real version comparison, not a checksum guess + +`unity plugin upgrade [id] [--force] [--changelog]` compares the installed component's own recorded version against what the registry currently publishes, rather than inferring staleness from a checksum. Outcomes, and what to expect from each: + +- **Stale → installed.** A newer compatible version exists and was acquired. +- **Up to date → unchanged.** Nothing to do. +- **`indeterminate`.** Reached only when NEITHER this CLI's install-ledger version stamp NOR the older checksum/source-sentinel fallback can date the install — nothing on disk at all, or an install predating both. A Hub-installed copy lacks only the newer ledger; it falls back to the same checksum/source-sentinel comparison it always used and gets the same staleness answer as before, so it is not automatically `indeterminate`. `--force` re-acquires a genuinely undatable install regardless. +- **`ahead-of-registry`.** The installed version has higher precedence than anything the registry currently admits (a manual downgrade, or a sideloaded build) — reported and left alone, even with `--force` — **unless** that installed version is specifically found `yanked`, in which case `upgrade` downgrades to the newest safe (non-yanked) version on its own and says so plainly, naming both the yanked version and why, and the version it downgraded to. + +`--changelog` fetches and prints the full release notes for the version about to install before acquiring it (the one-line summary from the registry prints unconditionally either way); a component with no published notes for that version just says so and the upgrade proceeds. `--format json`/`tsv`/`ndjson` carry `fromVersion`, `toVersion`, and a `yanked` flag alongside the existing per-component fields, so a script can tell a downgrade-to-recover apart from an ordinary upgrade. + +#### plugin changelog — read a plugin's own release notes + +```bash +# Notes for the version `plugin upgrade` would install +unity plugin changelog plastic + +# Notes for a specific version instead +unity plugin changelog ugs --version 2.1.0 + +unity plugin changelog plastic --format json # { id, name, version, summary, notes } +``` + +Rendered from markdown and paged like `unity changelog`. Unlike `plugin upgrade --changelog` (where missing notes is never a failure), `plugin changelog` on its own fails (exit 6) when the component has no publisher-hosted changelog at all or no notes for the requested version — you asked specifically to read them, so nothing to show is reported rather than silently swallowed. `--version` must be an exact, canonical semver value (`1.2.3`, not `v1.2.3`); an invalid value is a usage error (exit 2). + +--- + +### Connected Editors — pipeline / command / status + +> **Promoted to production in `0.1.0-beta.8`.** In earlier betas these were development-only (and the Pipeline package was Unity-internal). They now talk to any running Unity Editor over its Pipeline server, and the supporting Editor-side package (`com.unity.pipeline`) is resolved from the **Unity (UPM) registry** and added to the project's `Packages/manifest.json` — no internal access or manual setup required. The Editor defines each command's parameters, help, and error messages, so the commands a connected Editor exposes are usable without a CLI update. + +**Why drive a live Editor instead of a fresh batch job?** `command`, `list`, and `eval` round-trip +against an already-loaded Editor in roughly **200–600 ms with no script recompile and no domain +reload** — far cheaper than a cold `unity run` per action. That makes it practical for an agent to +create GameObjects, edit assets, run a test, or evaluate C# iteratively within a single warm session. + +#### Getting an Editor to drive + +`command`, `list`, `eval`, and `status` attach to an **already-running** Editor with the Pipeline +package — they connect to its Pipeline server, they don't start one. One gotcha up front: a bare +`unity run ` (**without** `--command`) is *not* a way to get one — it runs batch mode to +completion and exits on its own (the log ends `Exiting batchmode successfully now!`). Use one of the +three patterns below. Any resident Editor (batch or GUI) then answers in ~200–600 ms with no recompile +and no domain reload, so an agent can iterate in a single session. + +**Persistent headless (no GUI) — agent / SSH build box.** Launch the Editor binary directly in batch +mode and **omit `-quit`** so it stays resident and keeps serving the Pipeline API. The binary lives +inside the install dir reported by `unity editors --installed` (`location`). + +```bash +unity pipeline install --project-path /path/to/MyProject +# macOS: the `location` is the .app bundle; the executable is inside it.

Confirm +> reachability with `unity command`/`unity list --project-path `, not `unity status`. + +**Warm / interactive.** Use an Editor you already have open, or `unity open ` (GUI, stays +resident). Unlike the batch case, its Pipeline server *does* register with `unity status` (state +`ready`), so `unity status` gates readiness. Drive it the same way (the CLI auto-discovers it; pass +`--project-path` to disambiguate when several are open — see +[Targeting one of several running Editors](#targeting-one-of-several-running-editors)). + +```bash +unity open /path/to/MyProject +unity status --until-ready --project-path /path/to/MyProject --format json # blocks until state "ready" (exit 6 on timeout) +unity command eval "return Application.unityVersion;" +``` + +Run `unity pipeline install` **before** `unity open` when the project doesn't have the package +yet; for a project you are creating, `unity projects create --with-pipeline` does the same +step as part of creation. An Editor that is already open loads a newly added package only when it next refreshes, +typically when its window regains focus. Until then no Pipeline server is running, and +`unity status` reports `STATUS_PIPELINE_LOAD_PENDING`: an Editor holds the project open and its +manifest lists `com.unity.pipeline`, but nothing is serving. An Editor that is still opening or +importing reports the same code until it finishes, so wait with `unity status --until-ready` +first. The CLI can't force the refresh without the connection the package provides, so if the +Editor has finished opening, ask the user to switch to its window, then re-run +`unity status --until-ready`. Run it from inside the project directory, or pass the +project's path to `--project-path`. This state is only reported for the project the CLI can +locate that way. If the Editor still doesn't come up after it has focus, run +`unity pipeline list`: an Editor in Safe Mode holds the project open too, but can't load the +package until its compile errors are fixed (see +[Recovering from Safe Mode](#recovering-from-safe-mode-connection-fails-because-of-compile-errors)). + +**One-shot (CI).** `unity run --command -- ` boots a batch Editor, runs one +registered command, prints its result, and exits — a fresh boot each time (no warm reuse). Parse with +`--format ndjson`, since the Editor writes its own log to stdout alongside the result. + +```bash +unity run /path/to/MyProject --command spawn_light --format ndjson -- --name Sun +``` + +A resident Editor (headless or GUI) holds a license seat until it exits; the one-shot path releases it +on exit. + +#### pipeline (alias: pipe) — manage the Unity Pipeline package + +```bash +# List the Editors the CLI can reach and the Pipeline package status of each. +# Also shows each project's installed Pipeline version and flags when the registry has a newer one. +unity pipeline list --format json + +# Install / update the Pipeline package into a project (auto-detects project if omitted) +unity pipeline install +unity pipeline install --project-path /path/to/MyProject +unity pipeline install --force # always rewrite the manifest to the latest version + +# Install a specific version (validated against the registry first; overwrites any pinned version). +# NOTE: the flag is --package-version, NOT --version (which collides with the global -V, --version). +unity pipeline install --package-version 0.3.0-exp.1 + +# Upgrade the package to the latest, but only when the registry has a newer one +# (otherwise reports it's already up to date and leaves manifest.json untouched). +# Requires the package to be installed already. +unity pipeline upgrade +unity pipeline upgrade --project-path /path/to/MyProject + +# List every version published to the Unity registry, newest first (marks the current latest) +unity pipeline list-versions --format json +``` + +`pipeline install` options: `--project-path `, `--force`, `--package-version `. The package is resolved from the Unity registry and written to `Packages/manifest.json`. Unlike `pipeline install --force` (which always rewrites to latest), `upgrade` compares the pinned version first. + +When multiple Editors are running, `install` and `upgrade` consider only the editors that actually need the operation (`install` → editors without the package; `upgrade` → editors behind the registry's latest). If exactly one needs it, that editor is chosen automatically; if none do, the command reports there's nothing to do; if several do, an interactive terminal shows a selector while non-interactive contexts (machine output, non-TTY, or `--non-interactive`) error and list the projects so you can pass `--project-path`. + +#### command (aliases: cmd, request) — send commands to a running Unity Editor + +Forwards a command to a connected Editor. Run it with no arguments to list the tags the Editor groups its commands under, then drill into one with `--tag`. The tags come from the Editor, so a package that adds commands is reflected without a CLI update. + +```bash +# List the available tags, with a count of the commands under each +unity command +unity command --format json + +# List the commands carrying one tag +unity command --tag runtime + +# The whole catalog in one go, as earlier versions listed it +unity command --detail full + +# Execute a specific command (names/params come from the Editor) +unity command editor_play +unity command log_editor "Hello from CLI" +unity command editor_status --includeMemory true + +# Capture a Scene/Game view screenshot (forwarded to the Editor's screenshot command, new in 0.1.0-beta.8) +unity command screenshot --output ./shot.png --width 1920 --height 1080 + +# Target a specific project (the CLI discovers the running Editor itself) or a Player runtime +unity command editor_play --project-path /path/to/MyProject +unity command --runtime "MyGame" +unity command --runtime-path /path/to/port-file + +# Set a timeout (default: 30 seconds) +unity command editor_play --timeout 60 + +# Only the Editor’s own result value, as JSON — no command/parameters/target envelope +# (implies --format json; cannot be combined with --detach) +unity command recompile_status --result-only +``` + +**A named command waits out a briefly unavailable Editor.** Right after `editor_play`, or while scripts reload, the Editor declines commands for a few seconds. `unity command ` retries within its `--timeout` and runs the command once the Editor accepts it, so you don’t need a retry loop of your own. It resends only a command the Editor provably didn’t run: a busy rejection, or a refused connection while the Editor process is still running. A timeout or a dropped connection is never retried, because the command may already be running. If the Editor stays unavailable, the command fails with `EDITOR_NOT_READY` (exit 6), and the message says whether the Editor was busy or refusing connections. + +In the human table, `recompile`, `recompile_status`, `test_status` and `run_tests` results render as short readable text in the Result column instead of a JSON blob; `--format json` / `ndjson` output is unchanged. + +**`--caller [label]` and `--skill [name]` are analytics labels, not behavior.** `--caller` records what invoked the CLI and `--skill` records the agent skill driving the invocation; neither changes what the command does. A caller the CLI recognizes is recorded as given, anything else as `other`. They exist so an integration can identify itself — an agent running this skill has no reason to set them by hand, and both are inert when analytics are off. + +#### Querying the command list + +A mature project's Pipeline catalog gets long, so the **listing** form of `unity command` (no command name) accepts query flags that filter, group, sort, and page it — the fastest way for an agent to find the right command without pulling the whole catalog: + +```bash +# Filter by substring across name, description, and tag +unity command --query screenshot + +# Filter to a tag subtree +unity command --tag assets +unity command --tag assets/import + +# Compact rows instead of full detail +unity command --detail compact + +# Ask for the tag listing explicitly, and narrow it +unity command --tags +unity command --tags --tag assets + +# Group the results +unity command --group_by package # flat | package | tag + +# Sort and page +unity command --sort package --order desc +unity command --offset 20 --limit 20 + +# Combine, with machine output +unity command --query import --group_by tag --limit 10 --format json +``` + +| Flag | Values | Default | +|---|---|---| +| `--tags` | boolean | on when no command name and no `--detail` | +| `--detail [level]` | `compact`, `full` | — | +| `--query [term]` | substring on name, description, or tag | — | +| `--tag [tag]` | a tag or tag subtree (`assets`, `assets/import`) | — | +| `--group_by [mode]` | `flat`, `package`, `tag` | `flat` | +| `--sort [key]` | `name`, `package` | `name` | +| `--order [direction]` | `asc`, `desc` | `asc` | +| `--offset [n]` / `--limit [n]` | integers | — | + +Two traps worth knowing: + +- **`--tags` and `--detail` pick the same thing**, so they cannot be combined; ask for one or the other. +- **`--group_by` is spelled with an underscore**, unlike every other flag on the CLI. That is deliberate and load-bearing, so don't "correct" it to `--group-by`. +- **These flags only mean "listing" when no command name is given.** With a command name they are forwarded to that Pipeline command as ordinary parameters — `unity command my_cmd --query foo` passes `query: foo` to `my_cmd`. That is why each takes an *optional* value: a bare `--query` forwards boolean `true` to the command, while the listing path rejects a bare flag with a clear error rather than guessing. + +#### commands — the CLI's own command tree, as JSON + +**Not to be confused with `unity command` above** — `unity command` (singular) lists the *connected Editor's* Pipeline commands; `unity commands` (plural) lists *this CLI binary's own* commands, subcommands, arguments, and flags. Use it instead of parsing `--help` output when you need to introspect what the `unity` binary itself can do: + +```bash +# The full command tree, machine-readable +unity commands --format json + +# A compact human listing (name + description, one indented line of subcommand names) +unity commands +``` + +Each node in `data.commands` carries `name`, `aliases`, `description`, `arguments` (positional, with `required`/`variadic`), `options` (this command's own flags: `long`/`short`/`valuePlaceholder`/`default`/`description`), `globalOptions` (same shape — flags inherited from every ancestor, so `--format`/`--json`/etc. show up on every node without repeating a root-level dump, and a mid-tree umbrella's own options show up on its descendants too), and `subcommands` (the same shape, recursively). Hidden and dev-only surfaces are excluded — the same visibility rule `--help` uses — so what you see is exactly what the current build actually exposes. + +**Search it instead of dumping it: `unity commands --grep `.** The same tree, plus the plugin catalog (the same universe `unity plugin list` reports, installed or not), filtered to what matches. A command matches on its full path (`plugin list`), name, aliases, description, arguments, or its own options; the inherited global options are not searched, since every command has them. A plugin matches on its id, display name, registry description, or the command word that runs it (`ugs`, `uvcs`, `cm`, `ai`): + +```bash +# One match per line: kind, name, state, install command, description +unity commands --grep generate + +# Structured: { pattern, count, matches: [{ kind, name, description, state, installed, installCommand }] } +unity commands --grep '^plugin ' --format json +``` + +`kind` is `command` or `plugin`. On a plugin row `state` is the same token `unity plugin list` uses (`resolved`, `not-installed`, `unsupported-platform`), `installed` is a boolean, and `installCommand` is set only when the plugin is installable here but not installed. On a command row those three are `null` rather than omitted. Matching is case-insensitive and the pattern is always a regular expression, so an ordinary keyword is a valid pattern. A pattern that doesn't compile is refused up front (exit `2`), and one that takes too long to evaluate stops with exit `2` instead of hanging. No match is not an error: the command exits `0` and says so. The search only reads the cached or bundled plugin registry and never goes to the network. + +#### Available in production — the common live commands + +Everything reached through **`unity command `** is part of the project's `com.unity.pipeline` package and works against a normal, **production** Editor (or a Player runtime via `--runtime`) — it is *not* development-gated. A live-Editor task never needs a development build: a production Editor exposes this command surface, so treat the Editor as drivable whenever `unity status` reports one. + +The Pipeline package ships a set of built-in scene/GameObject commands. The common ones (names and parameters come from the Editor, so confirm the exact set with `unity command` / `unity list`): + +| Command | Does | +|---|---| +| `create_gameobject` | Create a GameObject in the active scene | +| `find_gameobjects` | Query the active scene for GameObjects | +| `get_scene_hierarchy` | Print the active scene's hierarchy | +| `set_transform` | Set a GameObject's position / rotation / scale | +| `add_component` | Add a component to a GameObject | +| `rename_gameobject` / `delete_gameobject` | Rename or delete a GameObject | +| `save_scene` / `save_all` | Save the active scene, or all dirty scenes and assets | +| `create_script` → `recompile` → `attach_script` | Add a new C# script, rebuild, then attach it to a GameObject (`unity recompile` does the middle step and reports compile errors) | + +The **authoritative** catalog is always `unity command --format json` — every registered command with its full parameter schema. The table above just jump-starts common tasks so you don't have to dump-and-grep first. + +Some projects (and Pipeline package versions) register an `eval` — and `eval_file` — command on the +Editor side, so you can run C# through the connected Editor in a production build: +`unity command eval "return Application.unityVersion;"` or `unity command eval_file snippet.cs`. +Availability depends on the Editor/package, so discover it at runtime with `unity command` / `unity list` +rather than assuming it. + +If no editor with a reachable Pipeline server is found, the command errors with guidance (make sure the editor is running and its Pipeline server is up). + +`unity command` no longer accepts `--instance ` — the CLI discovers running Editors itself, so run from the project directory or pass `--project-path` to target one. + +#### job — track a detached Editor command + +`unity command --detach` returns a job id instead of blocking until the Editor finishes, which is what you want for anything long-running (a build, a test run, a heavy import). `unity job` is how you follow that job afterwards. + +```bash +# Start the work and get a job id back +unity command run_tests --detach + +# Check on it, wait for it, or give up on it +unity job status +unity job wait +unity job cancel + +# Wait, but stop after 10 minutes instead of waiting indefinitely +unity job wait --timeout 600 + +# Poll less often (default: every 500 ms) +unity job wait --poll-interval 2000 +``` + +`wait` blocks until the job finishes and then prints its result, exactly as the non-detached command would have. `--timeout` counts seconds and `0` — the default — waits indefinitely; `--poll-interval` counts milliseconds. All three subcommands take the same Editor-targeting flags as `unity command` (`--project-path`, `--runtime`, `--runtime-path`). + +#### list — discover a connected Editor's tools + +`unity list` queries the connected Unity Editor (via the Pipeline package) and prints every registered tool with its name, description, group, and parameter schema. Use it to discover what's callable in the current Editor session without reading source code — especially when the project registers custom `[CliCommand]` tools (see *Authoring custom `[CliCommand]` tools* below). Unlike `unity command` (which lists *and* runs), `list` is discovery/introspection only. + +```bash +unity list +unity list --format json +``` + +Honors the global `--quiet` and `--no-banner` flags. On a connection failure it suggests `unity pipeline list` to diagnose. + +#### status — live state of connected editors + +```bash +# Show port, state, project, version, PID for every connected Unity Editor +unity status --format json + +# Filter to one instance +unity status --port 8765 +unity status --project megacity + +# Block until a matching Editor is ready (default timeout 300 s) +unity status --until-ready --project-path ~/UnityProjects/megacity --format json +unity status --until-ready --timeout 60 --format json +``` + +Reads the lockfile the Pipeline package writes per running Editor (faster and more CI-friendly than `pipeline list`). While an Editor is in Play mode, its row also carries `frameCount` and `playerLoopTicking` when the installed `com.unity.pipeline` reports them; `playerLoopTicking: false` outside a pause means the game is frozen (see [playmode-verification-loop.md](playmode-verification-loop.md)). Stale-heartbeat instances are reported as `unreachable` without an HTTP probe. An Editor that is still starting up is reported as `starting` rather than `ready` — the CLI probes the Editor’s main thread directly — so a script that polls `status` does not treat a booting Editor as ready. Read the error code, not the exit code: `starting` yields `STATUS_NOT_READY`, and all four failure codes below exit 6. With `--format json`/`ndjson`, emits a `success: false` envelope (`STATUS_NO_INSTANCES` / `STATUS_PIPELINE_LOAD_PENDING` / `STATUS_NOT_READY` / `STATUS_ALL_UNREACHABLE`) and a non-zero exit when no Editor is reachable, so CI scripts can gate on Editor availability. `STATUS_PIPELINE_LOAD_PENDING` means an Editor has the project open with the package in its manifest but hasn't loaded it yet (see [Getting an Editor to drive](#getting-an-editor-to-drive)). + +**Waiting for ready: use `--until-ready`, not a polling loop.** After `unity open`, after `editor_play` (which drops the Pipeline listener for about 8 seconds), or after a domain reload, `unity status --until-ready` keeps checking until a matching Editor reports `ready`, then prints the same envelope a plain `status` would, with exit 0. It works when no Editor exists yet at the moment you call it, as long as one appears before the timeout. `--port` and `--project-path` scope every check, so a ready Editor for another project never ends the wait. A `--project-path` that is an existing directory matches that project only, so pass the project's full path: an Editor open on a sibling checkout (`MyGame-lighting` next to `MyGame`) is another project and never matches it. A value that isn't a directory, such as the bare name `megacity`, matches any project path containing it, case-insensitively. `--timeout ` sets the budget (default 300; `0` takes one check). On timeout it exits 6 and the envelope reports the last state it saw, with that state’s usual code, so read `errors[0].code` exactly as you would for a plain `status`. `--timeout` without `--until-ready` is rejected (exit 2, `STATUS_TIMEOUT_REQUIRES_UNTIL_READY`). The batch-mode caveat above still applies: an Editor that `status` never lists is never reported ready, so `--until-ready` would wait out the whole budget for it. + +#### Sandboxed agent tooling can hide a running Editor + +If you're operating as a coding agent whose shell commands run inside a restrictive +sandbox, `unity status`, `unity command`, and `unity list` can report no reachable +Editor **even when one is genuinely open on this machine for this project**. The CLI +does not yet distinguish this case from an Editor that truly isn't running, so today +the message is the same generic one either way — treat a "no instances" or +"cannot connect" result as a real possibility of this, not proof the Editor is down, +whenever you know your own shell commands are sandboxed. + +Two distinct mechanisms are known to cause this, each specific to one platform — don't +assume the other one's cause on a platform it doesn't apply to, and don't assume every +sandbox on that platform necessarily behaves this way: + +- **Windows.** Some sandboxes run the agent's shell commands under a separate, + restricted local account rather than the interactive user's own account. The Editor + writes its discovery file under its own account with an owner-only ACL, so a + sandboxed account attempting to read it gets a permission error, not a missing file + — and that permission error is what gets misreported as "no Editor found." +- **macOS.** Some sandboxes leave the discovery file itself readable (no separate + account involved) but block the outbound loopback network connection the CLI needs + to reach the Editor's local Pipeline server. The connection attempt is refused or + times out exactly as it would if the Editor weren't running. + +**What to do when you suspect this:** +- Ask whether a Unity Editor is actually open for this project before concluding it + isn't — the person running the sandbox can usually see that directly, even when a + command run inside the sandbox cannot. +- If they confirm one is open, say plainly that your own sandbox is likely blocking + your view of it, rather than repeating the generic message or guessing at some + unrelated cause (a stale lockfile, the wrong project path, and so on). +- **Never suggest turning the sandbox off** to get around this. That gives up a + security boundary the user or their tooling chose deliberately. Recommend running + the one blocked command outside the sandbox, or adjusting the sandbox's own + file-system or network allowances, instead. +- Don't fall back to guessing at project state or hand-editing files as a substitute + for a live connection — outside a sandboxed environment, the same "no Editor" result + usually does mean what it says. +- Don't quietly substitute a different workflow instead — e.g. driving a separate + headless Editor process to approximate what the live connection would have done. + That produces a different result (sometimes an incomplete one, materializing only + once something else runs) without ever telling the user their task was rerouted. + Say what's actually happening — sandbox suspected, live connection unavailable — + rather than silently working around it. + +This is a known gap in the CLI's own diagnostics, not a documented CLI behavior — the +explanation above is this skill's interim guidance, not something `unity status` prints +today. If a future CLI version reports this case with its own distinct, structured +message, prefer that message over this section. + +#### Recovering from Safe Mode (connection fails because of compile errors) + +When a project has **C# compile errors**, the Unity Editor starts in **Safe Mode**. The Pipeline +package is a normal package, so it **does not load in Safe Mode** — which means `unity command`, +`unity list`, `unity status`, and the MCP server **cannot connect** to that Editor. This is a +deadlock for an agent that wants to fix the compile errors *through* the Editor: the Editor is +unreachable *because of* the very errors you want to fix. Packages do not load in Safe Mode by +design, so there is no CLI-side workaround — recover with the loop below. + +**Don't treat "can't connect" as "no Editor, so hand-edit files blindly."** Diagnose Safe Mode +first, then fix the compile errors at the source and restart: + +1. **Recognize the signal.** `unity command` / `unity list` fail with *"Cannot connect to … Pipeline + server"*, or `unity status` shows no `ready` instance — even though an Editor is open for the + project. + +2. **Confirm Safe Mode.** Run `unity pipeline list`. It probes each running Editor and reports Safe + Mode explicitly. The **human** output prints `Editor is in Safe Mode - Pipeline server disabled`, a + `SafeMode Instances: N detected` summary line, and the hint *"Fix compilation errors and restart + Unity to exit Safe Mode."* With **`--format json`** those human strings are *not* emitted — read the + structured fields instead. The payload sits under the standard envelope's `data` key, so the paths + are `data.summary.instancesInSafeMode` (> 0), or per instance + `data.instances[].safeMode.detected` (`true`). + + ```bash + unity pipeline list # human: reads the Safe Mode warning + "fix and restart" hint + unity pipeline list --format json # machine: check .data.summary.instancesInSafeMode / .data.instances[].safeMode.detected + ``` + +3. **Read the compile errors from the Editor log.** Always read the **narrowest** log available, in + this order — each one after the first widens what you are reading: + + 1. the `-logFile ` you launched the Editor with (see the persistent-headless launch above); + 2. `/Logs/Editor.log` — Unity 6 moves logging there early in boot, so it usually exists + for the versions this workflow applies to; + 3. the per-user **global** `Editor.log` below — the fallback older editors write, and the same log + the CLI's own Safe Mode detector reads. + + | Platform | Global `Editor.log` path | + |---|---| + | macOS | `~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log` | + | Windows | `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Unity\Editor\Editor.log` | + | Linux | `~/.config/unity3d/Editor.log` | + + Read it **through a filter** — grep for compiler errors (`error CS####` / + `Scripts have compiler errors`) rather than dumping the file: + + ```bash + # macOS example — surface the compile errors that forced Safe Mode + grep -iE 'error CS[0-9]{4}|Scripts have compiler errors' ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log | tail -40 + ``` + + > The global log is **per user, not per project**, and reflects the **most recent** Editor session — + > it also carries paths, project names, and launch command lines from unrelated sessions.

If it's still in Safe Mode, a compile error remains — return to step 3. + +#### Authoring custom `[CliCommand]` tools + +The command surface is extensible from the **project** side: tag a `static` method with `[CliCommand]` +and it becomes callable via `unity command ` (warm) or `unity run --command ` (one-shot), +and discoverable via `unity list` — no CLI release required. Parameters, help text, and errors are +surfaced to the CLI automatically. `[CliCommand]` and `[CliArg]` live in the `Unity.Pipeline.Commands` +namespace (assembly `Unity.Pipeline`, from `com.unity.pipeline`); `MainThreadRequired` and `RuntimeOnly` +are **named properties on `[CliCommand]`**, not separate attributes. + +```csharp +using Unity.Pipeline.Commands; // [CliCommand] / [CliArg] — assembly: Unity.Pipeline +using UnityEngine; + +public static class MyPipelineCommands +{ + // Warm: unity command spawn_light --name Sun + // One-shot: unity run --command spawn_light -- --name Sun + [CliCommand("spawn_light", "Create a GameObject with a Light component", + MainThreadRequired = true /* default true; set false only for thread-safe work */)] + public static string SpawnLight([CliArg("name", "GameObject name")] string name = "Light") + { + var go = new GameObject(name, typeof(Light)); + return go.name; + } +} +``` + +- The method must be `static` (any accessibility works). Place it in an **Editor** assembly (an + `Editor/` folder, or an asmdef that references `Unity.Pipeline`) so it loads with the Pipeline server. +- `MainThreadRequired` defaults to **true** — keep it for anything that reads or mutates engine/editor + state (scene graph, assets, serialized objects); set it `false` only for pure, thread-safe work. +- `RuntimeOnly = true` hides the command from an Editor server's listing (Player/dev-build only); reach + such a command with `unity command --runtime `. +- After adding or changing a command, rebuild with `unity recompile` — it triggers the recompile, polls + to completion and reports any compile errors in one call — then `unity list` to confirm it registered. + (The raw `unity command recompile` + polling `unity command recompile_status` until `completed` still + works, and is what `unity recompile` does for you.) The Pipeline package also ships built-in commands, + including `eval` / `eval_file` (run C# in the Editor). + +--- + +### Shell — interactive REPL + +`unity shell` boots the CLI once and runs many commands in the same warm process, avoiding the per-command startup cost of separate `unity …` invocations. Enter any command **without** the `unity` prefix. + +```bash +unity shell +# unity> status --format json +# unity> config proxy http://proxy:8080 +# unity> config proxy # the write above is visible to this read +# unity> exit +``` + +- Arguments are tokenized shell-style (single/double quotes; unquoted Windows backslash paths are preserved). +- Leave with `exit`, `quit`, or Ctrl-D; blank lines and `#` comments are ignored. +- Ctrl-C cancels a cancellable running command (such as `build`) and returns to the prompt; for a command that doesn't yet support cancellation the first Ctrl-C is held (with a hint) and a second quick press force-quits the session. +- The prompt terminator is a heavy angle (`❯`) on Unicode-capable terminals, falling back to `>`; it shows the previous command's exit code when it was non-zero. +- **Command history** persists across sessions — press ↑/↓ to recall previous commands (stored under the CLI data directory, capped at the most recent 1000 entries). Secret-bearing flag values (`--android-keystore-password`, `--client-secret`, `--serial`, `--git-token`, and the other keystore/token flags) are masked to `***` before being written to disk. +- **Tab completion** — press Tab to complete command names, subcommands, option flags, and option values (for example `--format`) against the live command tree, plus the shell's own builtins. +- Interactive prompts (confirmations, sign-in) work inside the shell, and a write in one command (`auth logout`, `config`, `editors default`, …) is visible to the next. +- Piped/scripted sessions (`… | unity shell`) run every line and exit with the first command that failed (0 when every command succeeds), so a batch is usable in automation with `$?`. Interactive sessions still exit 0. +- In a piped session and in `--protocol ndjson` mode, stdin carries the shell's own commands, so a command the shell dispatches sees an **empty stdin**. `--secret-from-stdin` and `--key-from-stdin` therefore read nothing there and report a missing secret (exit 2). `--git-token-stdin` reports nothing: it resolves no token and falls through to `--git-token`, the provider token environment variable, and the credential helper, so a clone or link can proceed with an ambient credential. Plugin lines (`unity-*` on PATH) are the exception: they still inherit the shell’s stdin and can read its command stream. Pass the secret another way (`--client-secret`, `--key`, `--git-token`, or its environment variable), or run that command outside the shell with the secret piped to it. + +#### Session context & defaults + +Set shell-local defaults so you stop repeating flags. Every setting is per-session and still overridable by a per-command flag: + +```bash +# unity> use project /path/to/MyGame # active project → seeds UNITY_PROJECT_PATH for later commands +# unity> use org my-org-id # active Cloud org → seeds UNITY_CLOUD_ORG +# unity> set format json # default output format for the session +# unity> set verbose on # default --verbose on|off +# unity> set banner off # hide the branded banner for the session +# unity> context # show the current context (bare `use` does the same) +# unity> unset format # clear one setting (format | verbose | banner | project | org) +``` + +`UNITY_PROJECT_PATH` and `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG` are also honored as environment variables; [SKILL.md](../SKILL.md#environment-variables) lists the commands that read `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH`. + +#### Machine/agent mode — `--protocol ndjson` + +`unity shell --protocol ndjson` runs the same warm process but speaks a framed **request/response** protocol over stdio instead of a human prompt — for automated callers (AI agents, CI, orchestration) that want the startup-amortization benefit without screen-scraping. The caller writes **one JSON request per line** and reads **exactly one JSON result per line**, processed serially: + +```text +$ unity shell --protocol ndjson +{"id":"1","argv":["editors","--installed"]} +{"id":"1","exitCode":0,"envelope":{"success":true,"command":"editors","data":[…],"errors":[],"warnings":[]}} +{"type":"shutdown"} +``` + +- **Request:** an optional `id` (echoed back for correlation), plus either `argv` (a pre-tokenized array — preferred) or `command` (a raw string, tokenized like the interactive shell). Do not include the leading `unity`. `{"type":"shutdown"}` ends the session (as does EOF). +- **Response:** the echoed `id` (or `null`), the in-band `exitCode`, and `envelope` — the same `{ success, command, data, errors, warnings }` shape as `--format json`. +- Commands run headlessly (an interactive prompt fails fast); malformed lines or unknown commands produce an error frame rather than ending the session. +- **Trusted input only.** Machine mode runs the exact commands the caller sends, on the local machine as the current user — the same authority as typing them at your own terminal. Drive it only with commands you construct yourself; never pass commands assembled from untrusted or third-party content (web pages, issue text, unvetted model output), the same way you would never pipe untrusted text into a shell. diff --git a/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/playmode-verification-loop.md b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/playmode-verification-loop.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6c58166b --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/skills/unity-cli/references/playmode-verification-loop.md @@ -0,0 +1,238 @@ +# Play-mode verification loop + +Part of the **`unity-cli`** skill.

Every multi-flag example below uses the +fence; a single positional argument (like a bare `eval` call at its default timeout) does not need +one. + +## The recipe + +### 1.

Keep the Editor ticking while it is unfocused + +Unity throttles `EditorApplication.update` when the Editor window does not have focus, which is +the common case for an agent driving it headlessly or alongside other work. On an unfocused +Editor, entering Play mode can leave the game genuinely stuck at frame 1 while `unity status` still +reports it as playing, because the per-frame loop that would advance it is the thing being +throttled. `com.unity.pipeline` ships a command for exactly this, `set_autotick`, which forces a +tick at a throttled rate even while unfocused: + +```bash +unity command set_autotick # enable=true, interval_ms=16 (~60 Hz), persist=true by default +``` + +Call it once per Editor session, before `editor_play`. `persist=true` (the default) survives a +domain reload, so you do not need to call it again after a recompile in the same session; pass +`-- --persist false` for a one-off setting that should revert after the next unrelated recompile +instead of sticking for the rest of the session. + +This is the confirmed, currently available fix for the freeze, not a temporary stand-in: it is a +real Pipeline command with its own doc entry (`Documentation~/commands/editor-lifecycle-and-observability.md`), +not something a future package release removes the need for. As of this writing the CLI does not +call it automatically before `editor_play` (checked `apps/cli/src/Commands/Gaps/EditorPlaymode/PlaymodeHandler.cs`, +which sends only the bare `editor_play` command). Call it yourself until that changes. + +The player loop has a second switch: the project's Run In Background Player Setting +(`Application.runInBackground`). On macOS and Windows, with it off, Unity pauses the game while the +Editor is unfocused, and `set_autotick` can't undo that pause. The setting ships in builds, so +turn it on explicitly with the Pipeline command, which records the project's value and keeps it out +of builds: + +```bash +unity command editor_set_run_in_background # on for this Editor session +unity command editor_set_run_in_background -- --enable false # put the project's value back +``` + +The override doesn't touch the project's saved settings, so it lasts until you revert it or the +Editor restarts. After a restart, run the command again. + +Alternatively, a project can turn on **Ensure editor runs in background in PlayMode** under +Project Settings > Pipeline > Editor, which applies it only while playing. Check that your package +has the command with `unity command --query editor_set_run_in_background --format json`. On an older +package, set it with `eval` before `editor_play`, and put the project's value back after +`editor_stop`, because nothing keeps it out of builds there: + +```bash +unity command eval "return UnityEngine.Application.runInBackground;" # note the project's value +unity command eval "UnityEngine.Application.runInBackground = true;" +``` + +### 3. Enter Play mode, then wait for the Pipeline server before the next command + +```bash +unity command editor_play +unity status --until-ready --project-path --format json +``` + +`editor_play` drops the Pipeline listener for a few seconds while the domain reloads. Sending the +next command immediately can hit `EDITOR_NOT_READY` or simply queue behind the reconnect. `unity +status --until-ready` is the documented fix, not a hand-rolled polling loop: it keeps checking +until a matching Editor reports `ready`, then returns. Full detail in +[integration-advanced.md → status](integration-advanced.md#status--live-state-of-connected-editors). + +### 4. Confirm the game is actually advancing, not frozen at frame 1 + +A `wait_for` on `Time.frameCount` with `op: changed` proves the frame counter has moved since the +wait started, server-side, with no client polling loop: + +```bash +unity command wait_for -- \ + --condition '{"member":"UnityEngine.Time.frameCount","op":"changed"}' \ + --timeout_s 10 +``` + +`op: changed` needs no `value`: it is met the first time the member differs from the value observed +when the wait was armed. A `met: true` result with `framesObserved` > 0 is your proof; `timedOut: +true` with the frame count unmoved is the frozen-at-frame-1 symptom this whole step exists to +catch, and step 2 (`set_autotick` and `runInBackground`) is the fix to check first. + +A package that has `editor_set_run_in_background` also reports the player loop in +`unity status --format json` while in Play mode: `frameCount` and `playerLoopTicking` on the +instance row. `playerLoopTicking: false` outside a pause is the same frozen symptom, and it costs +one read instead of a wait. Keep the `wait_for` above as the proof; the status fields are a quick +first check, and an older package omits them. `timeout_s` defaults to 30 if omitted; +10 seconds above is a shortened budget, since a ticking Editor should advance the frame count within +a couple of frames of the wait being armed. + +`wait_for` is one `/api/exec` request that holds the exec queue for its own duration, so a +synchronous call like the one above is only for a wait you expect to resolve in a few seconds. For +anything longer, or a condition that depends on a command you still need to issue, add `--async +true` and poll the result instead of blocking on it: + +```bash +unity command wait_for -- --condition '{"member":"UnityEngine.Time.frameCount","op":"changed"}' \ + --timeout_s 120 --async true # returns { "waitId": "..." } immediately +unity command wait_status -- --wait_id +``` + +`wait_for`'s own `--async` is unrelated to `unity command`'s `--detach`: the former is the +connected Editor evaluating the condition in the background and reporting through `wait_status` / +`wait_cancel`; the latter is the CLI's own client-side job tracking (`unity job status` / +`unity job wait`) for a command that runs long on the Editor's main thread. Don't conflate the two. + +`wait_for` also accepts a `findType`/`target` + instance member path instead of a static one (for +example a gameplay manager's own state field), and an `on_met.capture` follow-up that captures the +game view in the same frame the condition first holds, atomically, when a client-side "wait, then +screenshot" loop would risk missing a short-lived state. Discover the exact shape (and whether your +project's package version has it at all) with `unity command --query wait_for --format json` +rather than assuming it: `wait_for`/`wait_status`/`wait_cancel` are a comparatively new addition to +`com.unity.pipeline`. + +### 5. Capture the game view without bloating the response + +```bash +unity command capture_game_view -- --source screen --save_path Screenshots/playtest.png +``` + +Pass `save_path` and the result is a file path, not an inline base64 image, which keeps an agent's +tool result small. The path is **project-relative** (the package's own docs give +`Screenshots/foo.png` as the example); nothing in the package documentation states a restriction to +paths under `Assets/`, so do not assume one. When you do need the image inline instead of, or as +well as, the file (for example to look at it yourself in this turn), add `--include_inline_image +true` and use `--max_resolution` to cap the inline copy's longest edge without touching the +resolution of the saved file: + +```bash +unity command capture_game_view -- --max_resolution 512 # inline only, downscaled, no save_path +``` + +`source=screen` captures the composited game view (including Screen Space - Overlay UI such as +HUDs); `source=camera` renders a single camera off-screen instead and never sees overlay canvases. +Pass whichever you mean explicitly: the command's default value for `source` has changed between +package versions (`com.unity.pipeline` 0.8.0-exp.1 switched the default from `camera` to `screen`), +so relying on the default is one more thing to go stale as the project's package updates. + +### 6. Read the console for exceptions before trusting a clean-looking capture + +```bash +unity command console -- --tail 50 --level error +``` + +`level` is a minimum-severity floor (`log` | `warn` | `error`, default `log`), not an exact match, so +`--level error` returns errors and exceptions only. Prefer `console_status` (no arguments) when you +only need the compile-failure flag and entry counts, not the entries themselves, to poll cheaply +while something else runs. + +Older `com.unity.pipeline` documentation names this command `get_console_logs`; the currently +shipping command is `console` (with `console_status` and `clear_console` alongside it), which is a +case in point for confirming names against `unity command` rather than trusting any cached +documentation, this page included. + +### 7. Tune the running game with `eval`, not edit, recompile, and re-enter Play mode + +Once Play mode is confirmed live, prefer evaluating C# against the running instance over leaving +Play mode to edit a script, recompiling, and re-entering: it is one round trip instead of a +domain reload plus a fresh Play mode entry, and it does not lose whatever state you were verifying. + +```bash +unity command eval "UnityEngine.Time.timeScale = 0.5f;" +``` + +A bare positional string is `eval`'s `code` parameter at its default 5-second timeout. Override the +timeout with the fully-named form (`timeout` is milliseconds on `eval`, not the seconds `unity +command --timeout` takes, which is exactly the collision the `--` fence in this page's intro +exists for): + +```bash +unity command eval -- --code 'return UnityEngine.Time.frameCount;' --timeout 15000 +``` + +Reach for `create_script` → `unity recompile` → `attach_script` (documented in +[integration-advanced.md → Authoring custom `[CliCommand]` tools](integration-advanced.md#authoring-custom-clicommand-tools)) +only when the change genuinely needs a new type or a persistent script asset. For a one-off runtime +tweak inside a live Play mode session, `eval` is cheaper and keeps the loop in this page intact. + +### 8.

Path matching is tolerant of casing, separator direction, and a trailing slash — resolved against real filesystem path identity — so a registered project is found even when the path is spelled differently, while two genuinely distinct case-variant folders on a case-sensitive volume stay distinct. `unity open` forwards `--args` to the Editor correctly on all platforms (including Windows). + +**Signed-in Editor, no Hub required.** `unity open` starts a small background identity helper that answers the Editor's account lookup with the session `unity auth login` stored — your account, organization list (so Package Manager entitlements resolve), and the service addresses for your resolved `--cloudEnvironment` — so a Hub-less machine gets a signed-in Editor instead of an anonymous one. It steps aside whenever a real Hub is running or starting, exits on its own a few minutes after the Editor stops using it, and can be disabled with `UNITY_NO_EDITOR_IDENTITY_SERVER`. Signed out, the Editor just starts anonymous, as before. + +**`open` never moves a project onto Unity 6.7 or later.** When the Editor that `unity open` or `unity projects open` would use is 6.7 or later and the project was saved with an older version, the command exits `2` with `PROJECT_UPGRADE_REQUIRED` before it installs or launches anything. That covers `--editor-version` (a partial version such as `6.7` included), the `unity ` shorthand, and an Editor picked at the missing-Editor prompt. Use `unity projects upgrade --to ` instead, which asks for the Unity Cloud link choice and, when the project ends up linked, turns on build profile diagnostics (see the upgrade section below). Under `--format json` or `ndjson` the refusal carries one `notifications` entry, `OPEN_UPGRADE_WITH_PROJECTS_UPGRADE`, whose `remediation.command` is that `projects upgrade` command with `requiresUserApproval: true`, so ask the user before running it. Opening a project already on 6.7 or later, with the same version, or with an Editor below 6.7 is unchanged. + +**Extra listing columns are opt-in.** `projects list` shows a compact set by default; `--editor-version`, `-m` / `--modified` (last modified), `--cloud` (Unity Cloud project id), `--pipeline` (render pipeline), and `--vcs` (provider and repository) each add one. They affect the human and TSV tables only — `--format json` and `ndjson` always carry the full record. + +**Is Developer Data diagnostics on?** `projects info` answers from the project on disk, and `projects create` includes the same answer for the project it just created. New projects ship with diagnostics on, and turning it off disables all other Developer Data collection. In JSON, `data.diagnostics` has three parts: + +- `buildDefault`: `state` is `enabled`, `disabled`, or `unknown`, and `source` names the file it was read from (`ProjectSettings/UnityConnectSettings.asset`). `unknown` always comes with a `reason`: `missing`, `unreadable`, `notSet` (older Editors don’t write the setting), or `unrecognized`. Never treat `unknown` as off. +- `buildProfiles`: each `.asset` in `searched` (`Assets/Settings/Build Profiles`) with its `state`: `enabled`, `disabled`, `inherit` (uses the build default), or `unknown`. Profiles saved elsewhere aren’t read. If the folder can’t be read safely (for example, it’s a symbolic link), `buildProfiles.reason` is set and the empty list means “not read,” not “no profiles.” +- `cloud`: `linked`, `cloudProjectId`, and `organizationId`. + +This reports only what’s on disk. It can’t tell you whether Unity’s servers accept or receive the data. + +**`unity close ` exits the editor WITHOUT saving.** It waits up to `--timeout ` (default 30) for a graceful exit. `--force` terminates the process (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL) when the editor offers no graceful channel, or once the wait runs out. Unsaved work is lost either way, so ask the user before running it. `unity projects close ` is the same command under the `projects` umbrella; pick whichever mount reads better in context. + +**`--wait` — a real exit code from an interactive open.** By default `unity open`, `unity projects open` and `unity projects upgrade` return once the hand-off to the Editor completes, watching it only briefly for an instant failure. `--wait` blocks for as long as the Editor runs and exits `0` when it exits cleanly or `6` (`OPEN_EDITOR_EXITED`, or the licensing diagnosis for a 198) when it fails. The Editor runs in its own process group: Ctrl-C is absorbed, the wait always runs to completion, and the Editor is never touched. macOS and Linux only for now — Windows refuses `--wait` with exit `2` rather than falling back to the bounded watch. Without `--wait`, the CLI watches the Editor for only about 150 ms after launch, so an Editor killed by a signal is reported as a failure only when that happens inside the startup window; once the command has returned, nothing further can be reported. `--wait` is what covers the Editor’s whole lifetime, and it reports a signal death as a failure too. `projects create --open` / `projects new --open` do not take `--wait`. + +**Reserved flags — do NOT pass these via `--args`.** `-projectPath` is managed by the command (Unity's parser is last-wins, so forwarding it would silently redirect the open to a different project), and `-useHub`/`-hubIPC` are deliberately never passed — they tell the Editor a Unity Hub manages its session, which the CLI is not. Passing any of them fails fast, before launch, with exit code 6: + +``` +Error: Forwarded argument '-useHub' conflicts with a reserved Unity flag managed by this command. Remove it from `--args`. +``` + +All three spellings Unity accepts are rejected (`-useHub`, `--useHub`, `-useHub=1`, case-insensitively). Everything else — `-logFile `, `-nographics`, custom flags your project reads — is forwarded verbatim. + +#### projects create + +Create a project. On a TTY, prompts for any missing options (parent directory, editor version, template) and then asks whether to link the project to a Unity Cloud project. That last question defaults to **Yes**, so pressing Enter links the project. Pass `--no-cloud` to decline without being asked, or answer `No` at the prompt to create an unlinked project instead. Piping stdin (a non-interactive terminal) suppresses every prompt and falls back to stored defaults, including the cloud default, so an unattended run still links unless `--no-cloud` (or `UNITY_NO_CLOUD`) says otherwise. On a real TTY, `--non-interactive` alone suppresses only the cloud question; the parent-directory, editor-version, and template prompts still fire (see below for the fully unattended recipe, or use `projects new`, which never prompts at all). The first positional argument is the project **name**; `--path` sets the parent directory: + +```bash +unity projects create MyGame --editor-version 6000.0.47f1 --template com.unity.template.urp-blank + +# Place the project in a specific directory +unity projects create MyGame --path /path/to/projects --editor-version 6000.0.47f1 + +# --template also accepts a .tgz file path or a directory, not just a registered template id +unity projects create MyGame --template /path/to/template.tgz +``` + +**Cloud linking during creation:** + +```bash +# Create and link a NEW Unity Cloud project as part of creation +unity projects create MyGame --cloud --cloud-org + +# Link an EXISTING cloud project instead +unity projects create MyGame --cloud-project + +# Create without Unity Cloud, and without being asked about it +unity projects create MyGame --no-cloud +``` + +`--no-cloud` is the explicit negative answer: it creates the project unlinked and skips the cloud question. Reach for it in a scripted run on a terminal, where the question would otherwise stop the command. + +**`projects create` links to Unity Cloud by DEFAULT, and not being able to ask does not change that.** Passing any of `--cloud`, `--cloud-project`, `--coppa`, `--no-cloud`, or `--cloud-org` answers the cloud question up front, so it is not asked. The question is also skipped in every machine output mode (`--json`, `--format tsv|ndjson`, `--quiet`), under `--non-interactive` (or `UNITY_NON_INTERACTIVE`), and when stdout is not a TTY — but a run that cannot show the prompt still **links**, because the default answer does not depend on whether anyone is watching. `--no-cloud` is the only way to decline without being asked. + +That makes authentication a **precondition** of `projects create`, not a capability it discovers late: without `--no-cloud`, a signed-out run fails with `NOT_SIGNED_IN` and a service-account run with `CLOUD_PROJECT_REQUIRES_OAUTH`, both exit `3`, before any scaffolding happens. So in CI, pass `--no-cloud` unless you have an interactive (OAuth) session and actually want the link. + +Unlike the other three questions, the cloud one can fire even when every option was supplied on the command line, so `--non-interactive` is what keeps a fully-specified scripted run from stopping on it. Be aware that the global currently gates **only** this question: the parent-directory, editor-version, and template questions still gate on terminal interactivity alone, so `--non-interactive` on a TTY does not make them fall back to stored defaults. For a fully unattended run on a terminal, pass `--path`, `--editor-version`, and `--template` as well — or use `projects new`, which never prompts at all. + +Once the command is past that precondition, a link that then fails never costs you the project: if it cannot be set up (expired session, no resolvable organization), the project is still created unlinked and the reason is reported as a warning, exit 0. `--cloud` behaves differently and still fails outright — an explicit flag is a contract, not a suggestion. + +When a project is created without a cloud link, human output ends with a line pointing at `unity projects link cloud`. It is human-format only: `json`, `ndjson`, and `tsv` output is unchanged. + +For machine consumers, cloud state is reported by the presence of the `cloudLinked`, `cloudProject`, and `cloudOrgSource` fields on the result payload — they are emitted **only when a cloud link was requested**. Their absence is itself the signal that the project is unlinked; do not read `cloudLinked` expecting a `false`. + +**Paved mode (`UNITY_CLI_FTUE`).** With `UNITY_CLI_FTUE` set to anything but empty or `0`, `projects create` writes `UserSettings/UnityCliPaved.json` into the new project and reports it as `pavedSettings: "UserSettings/UnityCliPaved.json"` on the result payload. The field is present only when the file was written. The file is `{ "schemaVersion": 1, "paved": true }`. Unity keeps `UserSettings/` out of source control, so the choice stays on this machine. After that, any command aimed at the project, through `--project-path`, `UNITY_PROJECT_PATH`, or a working directory inside it, adds `"paved": true` to its json envelope or ndjson `result` frame with no variable set. A command with no project only does so while the variable is set. If the file can't be written, the project is still created and the envelope carries a warning. Paved mode changes nothing else about how commands behave. It only labels the output. + +**Adding the Pipeline package during creation (`--with-pipeline`).** `unity projects create MyGame --with-pipeline` adds `com.unity.pipeline` (latest from the Unity registry) to the new project's `Packages/manifest.json` right after scaffolding, before any `--vcs` initial commit and before `--open`, so the Editor resolves it on first open and `unity command` works without a separate `unity pipeline install`. Pass it whenever an agent will drive the Editor. It never fails the create: an editor older than Unity 6 or an unreachable registry leaves the project created without the package, prints a warning (stderr in every format but json), and exits 0, and `unity pipeline install --project-path ` retries. The result payload carries `pipeline`, whose `requested` is `true` whenever the flag was passed: `{ "requested": true, "installed": true, "packageId": "com.unity.pipeline", "version": "", "alreadyInstalled": false }` on success (`alreadyInstalled: true` when the template already shipped the package, which is then left as it is), or `installed: false` with `error` set to `PIPELINE_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION` or `PIPELINE_INSTALL_FAILED`. Without the flag the field is absent, except in an AI-agent session (for example Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini CLI) on a Unity 6+ project that doesn't have the package yet, where the CLI installs nothing but reports `{ "requested": false, "installed": false, "packageId": "com.unity.pipeline", "hint": "..." }` and prints the same hint on stderr outside json and ndjson. + +When a link was requested, `cloudLinked: false` next to a `cloudProject` means the Unity Cloud project exists but the link could not be saved to the project's `ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset`, so the Editor sees no link. `cloudLinkError.code` says why (`PROJECT_SETTINGS_MISSING`, `PROJECT_SETTINGS_LINK_FIELDS_MISSING` when the file has no `cloudProjectId`/`organizationId` entries, `PROJECT_NOT_TRACKED`, `CLOUD_PROJECT_ID_INVALID`, or `LOCAL_WRITE_FAILED`), and a warning names the fix: `unity projects link cloud --cloud-project `, which saves the link to that project rather than creating another one. `unity projects link cloud` itself fails with `PROJECTS_LINK_CLOUD_LOCAL_WRITE_FAILED` (exit `1`) in the same situation. + +**COPPA declaration.** Creating a Unity Cloud project declares its COPPA status, and the CLI sends `not_compliant` unless told otherwise — the same value the Hub sends. `--coppa ` sets it on every command that can create a cloud project (`projects create`, `projects link cloud`, `projects link vcs`, `vcs setup`); the accepted values are `not_compliant` (default), `compliant`, and `unspecified`, and anything else is a usage error (exit `2`). Pass `--coppa compliant` when the game is directed at children under 13. Whenever a run creates the project, the result payload carries `coppa` with the value sent (beside `cloudProject` on `create` / `link cloud`, beside `linked` on `link vcs` / `vcs setup`) and human output names it. **Linking an existing project never changes its COPPA setting**: `--coppa` together with `--cloud-project` (or `--no-cloud`) is refused with `COPPA_ARGS_CONFLICT`, exit `2`, and a run that links an existing project or finds one already linked sends nothing and reports no `coppa`. When `--coppa` was given but the run created no cloud project (a git `--vcs` provider, or a project that was already cloud-linked), a warning on stderr says it was not applied; in JSON the absent `coppa` field is the signal. Change an existing project’s COPPA setting in the Unity Cloud dashboard instead. On `create`, `--coppa` alone also counts as asking for a cloud project, like `--cloud`. + +**Source-control during creation** — publish the new project to a fresh repository: + +```bash +unity projects create MyGame \ + --vcs github \ + --git-namespace my-org \ + --git-repo my-game \ + --git-visibility private \ + --git-default-branch main \ + --git-token-stdin +``` + +Source-control flags (shared with `projects link vcs`): `--vcs github|gitlab|uvcs|`, `--git-namespace `, `--git-repo `, `--git-visibility private|public|internal` (default private), `--git-default-branch `, `--git-remote-protocol https|ssh` (default https), `--git-description `, `--git-token ` / `--git-token-stdin`, `--no-initial-commit`, `--git-lfs`, and `--vcs-region ` for Unity Version Control. + +**Flag names differ by subcommand:** `projects create` and `projects link vcs` use `--git-namespace` / `--git-repo`, while `projects clone` (below) uses `--vcs-namespace` / `--vcs-repo`. Copy the names for the exact command you're running, and confirm with `--help` if unsure. + +**`--git-remote-protocol ssh` attaches the created repository's SSH remote instead of its HTTPS one.** The provider REST call that creates the repository still needs the resolved PAT — SSH has no equivalent for that API call — but the local `origin` remote and the initial push then use the repository's `git@:/.git` form with pure ambient SSH auth (the running ssh-agent, a repository-local `core.sshCommand`, or an `~/.ssh/config` host alias — whichever the machine already has configured; the CLI never handles keys itself). Passing `--git-token`/`--git-token-stdin` alongside `--git-remote-protocol ssh` is fine: the token still authenticates the repository-creation API call, it's only the git transport that switches. + +**Self-hosted hosts create through a provider CLI, not REST.** `--vcs` also accepts a bare host (e.g. `--vcs gitea.example.com`) for anything other than github.com/gitlab.com — there is no built-in REST client for those, so the repository is created through `gh`, `glab`, or `tea`, whichever is installed and already signed in for that host (checked in that order). The same fallback covers github/gitlab themselves when no REST token can be resolved: the matching CLI (`gh` for github, `glab` for gitlab) steps in if it is signed in, before the command gives up. No PAT is ever read, stored, or forwarded on a provider-CLI path. When a provider CLI created the repository, the machine-readable result carries `vcs.mechanism` (`gh` | `glab` | `tea`) naming which one — omitted for the REST path and for a `[url]`-form link, so existing scripted consumers see no change on github.com/gitlab.com. If nothing can create it — no REST token and no signed-in provider CLI for that host — the error explains creating the repository yourself and linking it with `unity projects link vcs `. + +**Where the Git token comes from.** Resolution order, first hit wins: `--git-token-stdin` → `--git-token` → `UNITY_GITHUB_TOKEN` / `UNITY_GITLAB_TOKEN` → `git credential fill` (the user's credential helper) → an interactive masked prompt. The first three are explicit per-command overrides and always beat the helper. **The CLI stores no Git token** at any tier, including one typed at the prompt. + +**Whether anyone is there to answer is decided up front.** On a real terminal, a configured credential helper is free to run its own sign-in — including Git Credential Manager's browser and device-code flows — and its instructions are relayed to you rather than swallowed. Without a terminal, in CI, under a machine-readable `--format`, or with `--non-interactive`, nothing prompts at all: the command fails immediately with **exit 4**, naming the credential it needed and how to supply it out of band (`--git-token[-stdin]` or the env vars above). Interaction is judged on all three standard streams, so redirecting stderr alone can no longer leave a password prompt writing into a file while waiting on a keystroke you were never shown. + +The credential lookup passes the full repository URL, so a helper that keeps one account per URL can return a different token per organization, but only when `credential.useHttpPath` is set, since git otherwise withholds the path from helpers: + +```bash +git config --global credential.useHttpPath true +``` + +Per-project identity instead lives in the repository's own config (`credential.useHttpPath`, `credential.username` in its `.git/config`); `projects link vcs` runs the lookup inside the project, so the Hub, the CLI, and plain `git` all resolve the same credential. For a CI pipeline spanning several organizations, pass `--git-token-stdin` per invocation: the env vars hold one token per provider, and there is no per-org variant. + +Per-organization scoping needs the organization to be known before the credential is looked up. `projects clone` always requires `--vcs-namespace`, so it is always scoped. `projects create` and `projects link vcs` take `--git-namespace`, and when it is omitted the lookup stays host-scoped, because the namespace cannot be resolved until you are authenticated and you cannot authenticate without a credential. Pass `--git-namespace` to target a specific organization's credential. + +#### projects new + +Create a project without any interactive prompts — resolves missing options from stored defaults, never asks the user. The first positional argument is the project **name**; `--path` sets the parent directory: + +```bash +# All omitted options resolve from stored defaults +unity projects new MyGame + +# Override stored defaults with explicit values +unity projects new MyGame --path /path/to/projects --editor-version 6000.0.47f1 --template com.unity.template.urp-blank + +# Open the project immediately after creation +unity projects new MyGame --open +``` + +`new` never links to Unity Cloud and never asks. Its human output ends with the same pointer at `unity projects link cloud`; machine output is unchanged. To link during creation, use `projects create --cloud`, or link afterwards with `projects link cloud`. `new` has no `--with-pipeline` either: an agent that will drive the Editor should create with `projects create --no-cloud --with-pipeline`, or run `unity pipeline install --project-path ` after `new`. + +#### projects clone + +Clone a remote repository and register the Unity project it contains. Works across providers: + +```bash +# Clone by provider + namespace + repo +unity projects clone --vcs github --vcs-namespace my-org --vcs-repo my-game --path ./MyGame + +# Check out a specific ref (branch, sha, or UVCS changeset) +unity projects clone --vcs uvcs --vcs-namespace my-org --vcs-repo my-game --ref main + +# Authenticate with a personal access token (prefer stdin) +unity projects clone --vcs gitlab --vcs-namespace my-org --vcs-repo my-game --git-token-stdin + +# Project lives in a subdirectory of the repo +unity projects clone --vcs github --vcs-namespace my-org --vcs-repo monorepo \ + --path ./repo --project-path packages/MyGame + +# Clone an arbitrary git URL instead (HTTPS, or SSH via the standard +# git user@host:path shorthand) — no --vcs/--vcs-namespace/--vcs-repo needed +unity projects clone https://github.com/my-org/my-game.git +unity projects clone --ref develop +``` + +Options: `--vcs github|gitlab|uvcs`, `--vcs-namespace `, `--vcs-repo `, `--ref ` (an all-digit ref is treated as a Unity Version Control changeset, anything else as a branch), `--path ` (clone destination), `--project-path ` (project subdirectory), `--git-token ` / `--git-token-stdin`, `--json`. Git LFS assets are fetched as pointer files only. + +**The `[url]` form is an alternative to `--vcs`/`--vcs-namespace`/`--vcs-repo`, not an addition to them** — passing a URL alongside any of those three flags is a bad-arguments error. `--ref`, `--path`, `--project-path`, `--no-lfs` always apply. `--git-token`/`--git-token-stdin` only apply when the URL is an **explicit HTTPS** URL whose host is github.com or gitlab.com — passing a token for any other host (an SSH-form or SCP-style URL, or a host that isn't github.com/gitlab.com) is a bad-arguments error, since there's nowhere for that credential to go. No token is required: with none supplied, the clone runs with whatever git auth is already set up on the machine (SSH agent, a configured credential helper, `.netrc`, or userinfo embedded in the URL itself) — this includes every SSH-form clone, even against github.com/gitlab.com, since the provider credential helper is HTTPS-only. Unity-project detection is **always** a post-clone scan of the downloaded tree for the URL form (never a provider API call, regardless of host or token) — only Git LFS credentials differ by tier: an HTTPS URL to github.com/gitlab.com with a token uses the provider-scoped LFS credential helper, everything else uses the machine's own git auth for the LFS pull too. A malformed URL, an unreachable host, a rejected/unknown SSH host key, and an authentication failure are reported as distinct errors (exit 2, 7, 3, and 3 respectively). + +**SSH transport policy.** No SSH URL is ever rewritten to HTTPS, and no key handling happens in the CLI — a key held by a running ssh-agent is used automatically, and a repository-local `core.sshCommand` or an `~/.ssh/config` host alias behaves identically to plain `git`, because the CLI only supplies its own SSH defaults when none of those (nor `GIT_SSH_COMMAND`/`GIT_SSH`) are already set — and it supplies none of them at all on an interactive terminal, deferring entirely to ssh's own prompts (a real fingerprint prompt for an unfamiliar host, a real passphrase prompt for a protected key with no agent), since a person at the terminal can answer them. Only in a non-interactive invocation (no TTY, or `--non-interactive`/`UNITY_NON_INTERACTIVE`), where no prompt could ever be answered, does the CLI supply its own defaults: an unknown host is trusted on first connect and pinned (so a *later* change to that host's key still fails loudly — this is not silenced), and a passphrase-protected key with no agent fails fast with an actionable error instead of hanging. + +#### Working in a Unity Version Control workspace + +Two reads are wrapped, because Unity-aware wrapping adds something, and code reviews get their own +subgroup because `cm` cannot reach them at all. Everything else forwards to `cm` unchanged, because +wrapping it would add nothing. + +```bash +# Wrapped: the lock listing joined to YOUR pending changes. This is the one thing cm cannot +# do for you, since it has no single command that knows both. +unity vcs uvcs locks # who holds what, and what collides with your work +unity vcs uvcs locks --format json # stable envelope: asOf, inLocalChanges, unlockCommand + +# Wrapped: recent history in a shape a script or an agent can rely on. +unity vcs uvcs changesets --limit 50 +unity vcs uvcs changesets --format json + +# Straight through to cm: partial checkout, shelves, and lock mutations. cm's own flags, +# cm's own output, cm's own --help.

Do not cache a reading or treat +one as authoritative; read again before you act. The wrapper never mutates a lock for the same +reason it never paraphrases cm's flags: releasing someone else's lock is a decision about shared +team state, so it stays an explicit `unity uvcs lock unlock` the user types. + +#### Code review comments + +`unity vcs uvcs review` reads the review comments a person left in the Unity Version Control GUI, +and answers them. This is the one UVCS surface with no `cm` route at all — `cm codereview` manages +review objects but has no comment verbs — so without these commands a reviewer's feedback is +invisible to anything outside the GUI, and a human has to restate every comment in the prompt. + +```bash +# Find a review. Any of --changeset, --branch or --status narrows it server-side. +unity vcs uvcs review list --branch /main --format json + +# Read its comments, with the file and line each one is anchored to. +unity vcs uvcs review comments --review 42 --format json +unity vcs uvcs review comments --changeset 118 # the review attached to a changeset +unity vcs uvcs review comments --review 42 --all-activity + +# Answer one, then record which change addressed it. +unity vcs uvcs review reply --review 42 --comment 7 --body "Fixed in the next changeset." +unity vcs uvcs review resolve --review 42 --comment 7 --changeset 118 +``` + +All four take the usual optional `[path]` operand; everything else is an option. `--limit` defaults +to 50 and caps at 500, and the envelope's `truncated` tells you when there was more. + +**Unity Cloud only.** The reviews service resolves a per-organization cloud region, so a +self-hosted workspace has no reviews API — those commands refuse with +`VCS_UVCS_REVIEW_SELF_HOSTED` and point at the GUI rather than failing obscurely. + +**They need a signed-in session, and the three auth-shaped failures mean different things.** +`unity auth login` is all you have to do; the short-lived gateway token these commands +authenticate with is obtained for you. `NOT_SIGNED_IN` and `SESSION_EXPIRED` (both exit 3) mean +sign in again. `UVCS_TOKEN_UNAVAILABLE` (exit 6) means that token could not be obtained at all — +a connectivity or service problem, not a credential one, so re-running sign-in will not help. +`VCS_UVCS_REVIEW_REQUIRE_AUTH` (exit 3) is the reviews service itself refusing a credential the +CLI did obtain. Do not treat them as one condition: only the first two are worth a login retry. + +**`line` is one-based, and may be absent.** The service anchors a comment with a zero-based line in +a string field whose `-1` means "not anchored to a line". The CLI does that arithmetic once: `line` +in the envelope matches what the dashboard shows, and is `null` — never `0` — for a comment that +is not tied to a line. Do not add one yourself. + +**The default is file comments, not the whole feed.** The service's comments route is an activity +feed of fourteen types, only four of which (`Comment`, `Change`, `Question`, `Conversation`) are +things a person wrote against a file. `comments` returns those four; `--all-activity` adds the +status changes, reviewer requests and timeline entries. Read `activityRead` alongside `returned` to +tell "no comments" from "activity, but nothing to act on". + +**Resolving means naming a changeset, and is not idempotent.** There is no resolved flag on the +wire — the state IS the changeset the comment was applied in — so `--changeset` is required and is +never inferred from whatever the workspace happens to be sitting on. A comment that is already +resolved is refused (`VCS_UVCS_REVIEW_ALREADY_RESOLVED`) rather than silently re-pointed, because +overwriting it would lose which change actually addressed the comment. The service performs no +already-resolved check of its own, so that guard is entirely client-side: on a review with more +activity than one page, where the comment falls outside the window, `resolve` **refuses** +(`VCS_UVCS_REVIEW_STATE_UNKNOWN`) rather than writing blind — resolve those from the GUI. The guard +is not atomic either: another writer can resolve between the read and the write, and the service +offers no conditional write to close that window. + +**Writes name both ids explicitly.** `reply` and `resolve` take `--review` and `--comment` and +accept no `--changeset`/`--branch` selector, unlike the read leaves: they write a durable record +other people read, and an indirect selector resolving to the wrong review would post into a +conversation nobody looked at. Both ids come straight out of `review comments`. A reply body +carrying control characters is refused rather than stripped, so what lands in the review is exactly +what was written. + +The `cm` client is needed for all of this. `unity plugin install plastic` installs it; a command +that needs it and cannot find it says so and names that command. + +#### Connecting to a self-hosted or enterprise host + +GitHub Enterprise Server, self-managed GitLab, and self-hosted Gitea/Forgejo all work with the URL form of `projects clone` and `projects link vcs` (not `projects create --vcs`, which accepts only `github`, `gitlab`, and `uvcs`), but **each host signs in separately**: being signed in to github.com grants nothing on `ghe.example.com`. The first attempt against a new host fails to authenticate (exit 3) until you sign in to that host specifically; the CLI then prints the exact command for whichever mechanism your machine has. + +Three ways in, any one is enough: + +```bash +# 1. The provider's own CLI, scoped to the host (enables repo browsing/creation) +gh auth login --hostname ghe.example.com +glab auth login --hostname gitlab.example.com +tea login add --name work --url https://gitea.example.com + +# 2. Git Credential Manager: one credential per host, no per-host setup, +# picked up once `git credential approve` has stored one for that host + +# 3. SSH: needs neither of the above; uses your SSH agent +unity projects clone +``` + +`gh` and `glab` hold one session per host and can be signed in to several simultaneously, which is why the sign-in commands are host-scoped rather than bare. `tea` has no default host at all: every login is a named entry for one instance URL. + +The CLI reads and stores no token on any of these paths. It asks each installed provider CLI whether it holds a session for that specific host, with credential-bearing environment variables stripped from the child process: `gh` otherwise applies `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` to any non-cloud host and dials it to validate, which would leak the token to a host that merely appeared in a failing URL. Stripped, `gh` answers from its own config: an unconfigured host is never contacted. Side effect: authenticating purely via `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` (no `gh auth login` entry) reads as signed out, so you may be offered a sign-in you do not need. A host with no provider CLI available is not a dead end: plain git still clones and pushes, with credentials from the credential manager or the SSH agent. Note `--git-token`/`--git-token-stdin` still only apply to github.com and gitlab.com over HTTPS; for any other host, rely on one of the three paths above. + +#### projects pin / unpin + +```bash +# Pin a project to the top of the list +unity projects pin /path/to/MyProject + +# Unpin +unity projects unpin /path/to/MyProject +``` + +#### projects size + +Report a project's on-disk footprint broken down by top-level folder (Assets, Library, Packages, …) with a total, so you can see how much is regenerable build state (Library, Temp) versus source and assets: + +```bash +# Size of one project (defaults to the current project when the argument is omitted) +unity projects size /path/to/MyProject + +# Summarize every registered project, largest first +unity projects size --all + +# Machine output — raw bytes instead of readable KB/MB/GB units +unity projects size --all --json +``` + +Human output uses readable units; `--json` (and `--format ndjson`) emit raw byte counts. + +#### projects clean + +The counterpart to `projects size`: deletes the **regenerable** folders (`Library`, `Temp`, `Logs`, …) to reclaim disk space.

Guardrails worth relying on: + +- **It refuses while the project is open in a running editor**, naming the PID — cleaning `Library` under a live editor corrupts the session. If the CLI cannot determine whether an editor has it open, it warns and proceeds, so close editors first in automation. +- **It refuses to delete unprompted.** In a non-interactive shell without `-y, --yes` it stops rather than deleting. +- A path that isn't a Unity project (no `ProjectVersion.txt`) is rejected outright, so a mistyped path can't delete anything. + +`--dry-run` is the safe way to size the win first; it reports what it *would* reclaim and exits without touching the filesystem. + +#### projects verify + +An Editor-free integrity check on the **project**, meant as the first step of a CI job. `unity doctor` answers "can this machine build?"; this answers "is this project sound?" — the version-control damage that otherwise surfaces after the expensive build step, as a confusing import error or an artifact that is wrong rather than missing: + +```bash +# Verify the current project +unity projects verify + +# Verify a project by path or registered name +unity projects verify ./MyGame + +# CI gate: warnings fail the job too +unity projects verify --strict + +# Only the checks you care about (either spelling works) +unity projects verify --check meta-missing,guid-duplicate + +# Confirm the project targets the version the pipeline pins +unity projects verify --expect-editor 6000.0.30f1 + +# Inline annotations on the job, anchored to the offending file and line +unity projects verify --format github +``` + +Exits `0` when nothing error-severity is found, `6` otherwise. Warnings alone still exit `0` — `--strict` promotes them. Every finding carries a stable code, a severity, a project-relative path, and a remediation hint: + +| Code | Severity | Detects | +|---|---|---| +| `META_MISSING` | error | An asset under `Assets/` with no sibling `.meta`. Unity assigns a fresh guid, silently breaking every reference to it. | +| `META_ORPHAN` | warning | A `.meta` whose asset no longer exists. | +| `GUID_DUPLICATE` | error | Two `.meta` files claiming the same `guid` — typically two branches that each added one. | +| `CONFLICT_MARKERS` | error | Unresolved merge markers in a `.meta`, `ProjectSettings/*.asset`, `Packages/manifest.json`, or `packages-lock.json`. | +| `MANIFEST_INVALID` | error | `Packages/manifest.json` does not parse, or a dependency version is not a string. | +| `EDITOR_VERSION_DRIFT` | warning | `ProjectVersion.txt` disagrees with `--expect-editor`. | +| `PATH_UNVERIFIABLE` | warning | A path the scan did not inspect, named so you know which subtree went unchecked. Always on — not selectable via `--check`. | + +Worth knowing: + +- **Editor-version drift is opt-in.** Nothing in the CLI stores a pinned version, so the check only runs when you pass `--expect-editor ` — the version your pipeline pins. +- **`--format json` returns the full report** (findings plus an errors/warnings/filesScanned summary); **`--format ndjson` emits one `type: "finding"` record per finding** as it is found, then a terminal result frame. Piped stdout defaults to `tsv`, like the rest of the CLI. +- **Safe to paste into a public log.** Finding paths are project-relative, terminal-escape-stripped, and the project root has its home directory masked. +- **It is built to scan an untrusted repository** — a fork, an unreviewed pull-request branch, a third-party template. So it refuses to follow a symlinked `Assets/`, `ProjectSettings/`, or `Packages/` (exit 6, `PROJECTS_VERIFY_UNSCANNABLE_DIR`), which would otherwise make it enumerate or read a tree outside the project into your CI log, and it bounds every file read at 16 MiB. A symlink **deeper** in the tree is not refused — it is skipped and reported (next bullet), since one link inside `Assets/` should not fail the whole scan. +- **`summary.unverifiable` tells you whether the pass is complete, and each skipped path is named.** Anything the scan could not inspect — a symlinked directory or file at any depth, an unreadable subtree, a walk past the depth cap, an over-budget file, a missing `Assets/` — is counted there and reported as a `PATH_UNVERIFIABLE` warning carrying the path, so you can see which subtree went unchecked instead of only how many did. Under `--strict` those warnings promote to errors like any other, so a project cannot satisfy the gate by making verification impossible rather than by being sound. +- **`--expect-editor` must be a real Unity version.** A typo like `6000.x` exits 2 rather than becoming a drift warning that passes — otherwise a misconfigured pipeline would silently satisfy its own version gate. +- **`data.checks` lists what actually ran.** `EDITOR_VERSION_DRIFT` is absent unless you passed `--expect-editor`, since without a version to compare against there is nothing to check. +- **No Editor, no license, no network, no installed editor** — and it does not read asset bodies, so it stays fast on a large project. +- **Detection only.** It does not repair anything; fixing meta/guid divergence needs the Editor's own asset database. +- Names Unity's importer ignores (dot-prefixed, `~`-suffixed, `.tmp`, `cvs`) are skipped, so a `.gitignore` or a `Documentation~` folder never reports a missing `.meta`. + +#### projects require + +Ensure the editor version required by a project is installed, installing it if needed: + +```bash +unity projects require /path/to/MyProject --yes +``` + +On a TTY with no path, prompts interactively. + +#### projects report + +Group every registered project by the editor version its `ProjectVersion.txt` +asks for, flagging a version that isn't installed and a version whose stream +isn't LTS: + +```bash +unity projects report +unity projects report --format json +``` + +Read-only: it never installs, removes, or changes anything. It pairs with +two follow-up commands rather than doing their job itself: `unity projects +require ` installs a missing version, and `unity editors prune` reviews +installed editors no registered project asks for. The LTS/non-LTS distinction +is the offline classification the installed `lts` upgrade alias already uses +(no network call); this codebase has no end-of-support date for any stream, +so the report never claims one, a non-LTS flag is the whole signal. + +#### projects upgrade + +Upgrade a project to a different Unity editor version. `--to` is required: + +```bash +unity projects upgrade --to 6000.0.47f1 +unity projects upgrade /path/to/MyProject --to 6000.0.47f1 --yes +``` + +**Into Unity 6.7 or later, an unlinked project needs a Unity Cloud choice.** Unity 6.7 turns +diagnostics on by default for projects linked to Unity Cloud, so the upgrade takes one of: + +| Option | Effect | +|---|---| +| `--cloud` | Create a new Unity Cloud project and link it (`--coppa ` declares its COPPA status) | +| `--cloud-project ` | Link an existing Unity Cloud project | +| `--no-cloud` (or `UNITY_NO_CLOUD`) | Upgrade without linking | +| `--cloud-org ` | The organization for `--cloud` or `--cloud-project`, as on `projects create` | + +Without a choice the command exits `2` with `CLOUD_CHOICE_REQUIRED` before installing or opening +anything. Under `--format json` or `ndjson` it lists one `notifications` entry per choice, each +with a `remediation.command` that repeats the invocation with that flag and +`requiresUserApproval: true`, so ask the user which one to run. The existing-project entry's +command contains the literal placeholder `` (also in its `data.placeholder`): replace +it with the project's ID or name, quoted for the shell (a name can hold spaces or shell +metacharacters), before running it, because a shell reads an unquoted `<...>` as an input +redirect. A project already linked needs no choice; `--cloud` or `--cloud-project` on a +linked project, or on an upgrade below 6.7, is reported in `warnings` as not applied. When the +project ends the upgrade linked (already linked, or linked by `--cloud` / `--cloud-project`), the +upgrade also sets each build profile whose diagnostics setting was the project default to enabled; +`data.diagnostics.buildProfiles.profiles` lists every profile with its resulting `state` and +whether it was `updated`. On a project that isn't linked, `--no-cloud` leaves every build profile +as it was and reports no `data.diagnostics`, because diagnostics only defaults on for linked +projects. On a project that is already linked, `--no-cloud` keeps the link and the profiles are +still enabled. `data.cloud.outcome` +reports the link (`alreadyLinked`, `linkedNew`, `linkedExisting`, `notLinked`). + +```bash +unity projects upgrade ./MyGame --to 6000.7.0f1 --yes --cloud +unity projects upgrade ./MyGame --to 6000.7.0f1 --yes --no-cloud --json +``` + +#### projects export / import + +```bash +# Export the project registry to a file (or stdout if -o is omitted) +unity projects export -o projects.json + +# Import a previously exported registry +unity projects import projects.json +unity projects import --input projects.json +``` + +#### projects exec — run a command across every registered project + +Run one command in each registered project.

Raise `--parallel ` for concurrency, or pass `--continue-on-error` to run the whole fleet regardless. With `--parallel > 1`, each project's output is buffered and flushed when it finishes so runs can't interleave; "stop" then means no *new* projects start — those already running finish. +- Buffered output is capped at **4 MiB per project**, after which it is cut short and the run warns. Sequential mode (`--parallel 1`) streams live and is never capped, so use it when you need the full output of a chatty command. +- **Ctrl-C** stops scheduling *and* terminates the projects already running, then exits **130**. +- Exit code is **6** if any project failed, **2** for a usage error (unknown filter key, bad `--parallel`, a command not on your `PATH`), **0** otherwise. No matching projects is a success (exit 0) with a warning. +- Arguments are passed to the command **verbatim, not through a shell** — pipes, `&&`, and shell globbing are not available. Put that logic in a script and exec the script. +- In `--json` / `--format ndjson` / `--format tsv`, the child's own output goes to **stderr** so stdout stays machine-parseable. +- `--format ndjson` streams one `{"type":"project",…}` frame per project as it settles and always closes with the standard `{"type":"result",…}` envelope (`success`, `command`, `data`, `errors`, `warnings`) — including under `--dry-run`. + +#### projects open / link / unlink + +```bash +# Open a registered project by name, fuzzy title match, or path +unity projects open MyProject +# (the top-level `unity open` is the same thing) + +# --- Cloud links --- +# Connect an existing local project to a Unity Cloud project +unity projects link cloud /path/to/MyProject --cloud-org +# Disconnect from its Unity Cloud project +unity projects unlink cloud /path/to/MyProject +# Also remove the Unity Version Control workspace bound to this project +unity projects unlink cloud /path/to/MyProject --cascade-vcs +# ...when that workspace is SHARED (rooted above the project), confirm it explicitly +unity projects unlink cloud /path/to/MyProject --cascade-vcs --unlink-workspace + +# --- Version-control links --- +# Publish a local project to a NEW GitHub / GitLab / Unity Version Control repository +unity projects link vcs /path/to/MyProject \ + --vcs github --git-namespace my-org --git-repo my-game --git-token-stdin +# Attach to an ALREADY-EXISTING remote instead of creating one — pass its URL +unity projects link vcs /path/to/MyProject https://github.com/my-org/my-game.git +# Undo a half-finished link instead of resuming it +unity projects link vcs /path/to/MyProject --rollback +# ...and delete the repository it created, if nothing has been pushed to it yet +unity projects link vcs /path/to/MyProject --rollback --delete-remote +# Remove a project's git remotes (the remote repositories are NOT deleted) +unity projects unlink vcs /path/to/MyProject +# Also detach the Unity Version Control workspace +unity projects unlink vcs /path/to/MyProject --unlink-workspace +``` + +`link vcs` shares the source-control flag set documented under `projects create`. `link cloud` / `link vcs` accept `--cloud-org ` (env `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG`), and `--coppa ` for the cloud project they create (see the COPPA declaration note under `projects create`). + +**`--cascade-vcs` alone will not remove a SHARED Unity Version Control workspace.** When the recorded workspace is rooted in a directory ABOVE the project — so sibling projects may live in it too — removing it affects all of them. On a terminal the command asks; in any non-prompting context (a machine format, `--non-interactive`, redirected stdout) it refuses with `UVCS_WORKSPACE_SCOPED` and exit `2` rather than quietly wiping a shared workspace in CI. Add `--unlink-workspace` alongside `--cascade-vcs` to confirm, which is exactly what the error message itself says. + +**A link that failed part-way is resumed by default; `--rollback` unwinds it instead.** `--delete-remote` extends a rollback to the repository the command created, and only when that repository still has no commits — so a rollback can never discard work somebody has already pushed. It does nothing without `--rollback`. + +The `[url]` second operand attaches to a remote that already exists, instead of creating one — the one thing the flag form of `link vcs` cannot do. It is mutually exclusive with `--vcs`, `--git-namespace`, `--git-repo`, `--git-visibility`, `--git-default-branch`, `--git-remote-protocol`, `--git-description`, `--cloud-org`, `--cloud-project`, and `--coppa` (all meaningless without a repository to create — the URL's own scheme already says which transport to use). `--git-token[-stdin]`, `--no-initial-commit`, and `--git-lfs` still apply, and the same ambient-auth / Tier A rules as `projects clone [url]` govern whether the push uses a supplied token or the machine's own git auth. + +### Assets: inspect or export a `.unitypackage` + +```bash +# List a package’s contents: asset path, GUID, payload size, and whether a preview image is bundled +unity assets inspect ./MyPackage.unitypackage +unity assets inspect ./MyPackage.unitypackage --format json +``` + +Works offline, with no Editor installed and no open project. The archive is streamed rather than read into memory, so a multi-gigabyte package is inspected in constant memory. `--format json` / `tsv` / `ndjson` carry the raw byte size and a boolean preview flag for scripts; the human table shows readable sizes and ends with a summary of entry count and total size. A missing file fails with `ASSET_PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND` (exit 6). + +### Assets — export a `.unitypackage` + +```bash +# Export one or more asset/folder paths, plus everything they depend on, to a .unitypackage +unity assets export Assets/Art --output Art.unitypackage +unity assets export Assets/Art Assets/Prefabs/Player.prefab -o Player.unitypackage --project /path/to/MyProject +# Leave dependencies out: export only the named paths +unity assets export Assets/Art --output Art.unitypackage --no-dependencies +# Unity 6.6+: sign for a specific organization, or skip signing +unity assets export Assets/Art --output Art.unitypackage --cloud-org my-studio +unity assets export Assets/Art --output Art.unitypackage --no-sign +``` + +`export` is the write-side companion to `inspect`, and needs an Editor: it runs `UnityEditor.AssetPackage.Package.Export` (Unity 6.6+) or `AssetDatabase.ExportPackage` (earlier) in a batchmode Editor (`--project` defaults to the current directory, resolved through the Hub registry), so expect the same startup cost as `unity build`/`unity test` and, in CI, a license seat. Dependencies are included by default, matching the Editor's own Export Package dialog; `--no-dependencies` opts out. Every asset path is validated **before** the Editor starts, so a typo never buys a batchmode boot: a missing path (`ASSET_PATH_NOT_FOUND`), a path outside the project, or a path outside the two AssetDatabase-addressable roots (`Assets/`, `Packages/`, both reported as `ASSET_PATH_OUTSIDE_PROJECT`) all fail immediately with exit `6`. `--format json` / `ndjson` carry `output` (the written file's path), `size` (its raw byte count), `count`, `includeDependencies`, and the resolved `assets` array, plus `signed` and `signingOrganizationId`; `--format tsv` prints the output path, count, and size as three columns. + +On Unity 6.6 and later the package is **signed by default** for an organization, resolved like `projects create`: `--cloud-org `, then `UNITY_CLOUD_ORG`, then the stored default (`unity cloud org set-default`). Signing needs a signed-in session. A numeric organization id is used as given; a service account must pass one, since it can't look up an organization by name (`CLOUD_ORG_NAME_NEEDS_OAUTH`, exit `2`). When the CLI can't sign (signed out, or no organization), it fails before the Editor starts: exit `3` (`NOT_SIGNED_IN`) or `4` (`CLOUD_NEEDS_ACTIVE_ORG`). Pass `--no-sign` to export unsigned. If the Editor writes the package without a signature, the CLI deletes the file and fails with `ASSETS_EXPORT_SIGNING_FAILED`. If the written package can't be read back to check, the CLI keeps it and fails with `ASSETS_EXPORT_SIGNING_UNVERIFIED`. Editors older than 6.6 can't sign, so their packages are always unsigned. + +### Assets — import a `.unitypackage` into a project + +```bash +# Import into the project in the current directory +unity assets import ./MyPackage.unitypackage + +# Import into a specific project +unity assets import ./MyPackage.unitypackage --project /path/to/MyProject +``` + +Wraps the Editor's own `-importPackage` batchmode argument — `--project` defaults to the current directory the same way `run`/`build`/`test` resolve their project, and the project must not already be open in another Editor (it holds the project lock). The package is read locally first, the same streaming pass `assets inspect` uses, so a missing or unreadable archive is rejected in milliseconds rather than after a 30-300s Editor boot; an archive that reads cleanly but declares no importable entry is refused the same way, under its own `ASSET_PACKAGE_EMPTY` code. `--format json`/`ndjson`/`tsv` all emit a result row (project, package, entry count) on success — nothing is silently swallowed on a redirected/piped run. + + +--- + +### Assets — export project assets to a `.unitypackage` + +```bash +# Export a folder and everything it depends on (the default) +unity assets export Assets/Art --output ./Art.unitypackage + +# Export only the named paths — leave out the assets they depend on +unity assets export Assets/Art/Logo.png Assets/Art/Icon.png --output ./Logo.unitypackage --no-dependencies + +# Export from a project other than the current directory +unity assets export Assets/Art --output ./Art.unitypackage --project /path/to/MyProject + +# Unity 6.6+: choose the signing organization, or opt out of signing +unity assets export Assets/Art --output ./Art.unitypackage --cloud-org 1234567 +unity assets export Assets/Art --output ./Art.unitypackage --no-sign +``` + +Unlike `assets inspect`, this drives a real batchmode Editor: `UnityEditor.AssetPackage.Package.Export` (Unity 6.6+, which also signs) and `AssetDatabase.ExportPackage` (earlier Editors) are the only APIs that can select individual asset paths and control dependency inclusion, and Unity's own `-exportPackage` batchmode argument accepts whole folders only. Every asset path is validated — inside `Assets/` or `Packages/`, and present on disk or in the package cache — BEFORE the Editor spawns, so a typo in a path fails immediately instead of after a batchmode boot. Dependencies are included by default; `--no-dependencies` exports only the paths you name.

Set `UNITY_INSTALL_MISSING_TOOLS=1` to accept that offer non-interactively. + +### vcs providers + +Which provider this machine can reach, as whom, and what each host allows.

It deliberately does **not** report how a repository would get created: +that depends on whether a token resolves, and resolving one can prompt — a read-only report must +not ask for a credential. + +The tools table also lists `cm`, the Unity Version Control client, taken from `unity plugin list`'s +own registry lookup, so the two always agree on its path, version, and state (`resolved`, +`not-installed`, or `unsupported-platform` on linux-arm64). It never downloads `cm`. Inside a UVCS +workspace with no `cm` installed, it suggests `unity plugin install uvcs`. The offline VCS section of +`unity doctor` omits `cm`, which doctor already lists under external components. + +### vcs merge-setup + +Scene and prefab merges do not work in a fresh Unity repository. Every editor install ships +`UnityYAMLMerge`, and this wires it up: the `.gitattributes` entries, the merge-driver config, +and a test merge that proves the tool actually runs. + +```bash +unity vcs merge-setup # set it up, using the editor the project requires +unity vcs merge-setup --check # report only; exits 4 when work remains +unity vcs merge-setup --editor-version 6000.0.30f1 +unity vcs merge-setup --skip-verify # skip the proving test merge +``` + +`--check` **exits 4 when work remains**, which is what makes it usable as a CI gate. + +### vcs doctor + +The repository-side hygiene audit: git settings, ignore rules, LFS patterns, and package +pinning that a Unity project needs under version control. + +```bash +unity vcs doctor +unity vcs doctor --fix # repair everything repairable; idempotent +unity vcs doctor --check META,LFS # run only these checks +``` + +`--fix` is idempotent by contract — running it twice changes nothing the second time. + +Distinct from `unity projects verify`, which is detection-only and never runs git. Different +subjects: `projects verify` checks the asset tree's integrity, `vcs doctor` checks the +repository's Unity configuration. + +### vcs hooks + +Installs managed `pre-commit`, `post-checkout` and `post-merge` hooks so the Unity integrity +checks run without anyone remembering to. + +```bash +unity vcs hooks install # install or upgrade +unity vcs hooks status # which managed hooks are installed, and at which version +unity vcs hooks uninstall # remove the managed hooks, leaving the rest of the file alone +``` + +Uninstall edits only the managed block, so hand-written hook content survives. + +--- + +## Day to day + +### vcs status + +What changed, grouped by what it means to Unity rather than by path, and with **meta-file +pairing problems called out** — an asset added without its `.meta`, or a `.meta` left behind by +a move, is the single most common "works on my machine" bug. + +```bash +unity vcs status +unity vcs status --json +``` + +On a UVCS workspace it additionally joins in lock state, which is a join no passthrough to `cm` +can do. + +### vcs sync + +Pull safely. + +```bash +unity vcs sync +unity vcs sync --rebase # replay local commits on top of incoming ones +unity vcs sync --allow-dirty # pull over uncommitted changes to tracked files +unity vcs sync --force # pull even while an Editor holds the project +unity vcs sync --verify # check the project afterwards without asking +``` + +**It refuses while an Editor holds the project**, and that refusal is the feature: pulling under +a live Editor invites a reimport storm or a corrupted `Library`. It pulls LFS objects too, then +reports the reimport the pull will cause. + +### vcs switch + +```bash +unity vcs switch main +unity vcs switch feature/lighting --dry-run # every check, plus the reimport scope, no change +unity vcs switch main --allow-dirty # carry uncommitted changes across +unity vcs switch main --discard-changes # discard uncommitted changes to tracked files +unity vcs switch main --close-editor # ask the Editor to quit, then switch +unity vcs switch main --force -y +``` + +Same Editor gate as `sync`, and `--dry-run` reports the reimport the switch would cause — worth +running before a switch between branches that differ in assets. + +--- + +## Reading a change + +These four are read-only and never write the working tree or the index. + +### vcs diff + +A semantic diff of one scene or prefab, **by GameObject and component name rather than by +`fileID`**. A raw `git diff` of a scene is unreadable: everything is a numeric id and the file is +ordered by serialization, so a one-object edit shows up as hunks scattered through thousands of +lines with nothing naming what they belong to. + +```bash +unity vcs diff Assets/Scenes/Level.unity # HEAD vs your working tree +unity vcs diff Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --from main --to HEAD +unity vcs diff Assets/Prefabs/Player.prefab --json +``` + +`--from` defaults to `HEAD`; `--to` defaults to **your working tree**, which is why it is not +defaulted to `HEAD` — absent and `HEAD` are different comparisons. + +Reads like `Changed Transform on Player at Level/Actors/Player: position {x: 0} → {x: 5}`. + +**Identity is reported with a confidence.** Matching is three tiers — `fileID` plus class tag, +then class plus name plus hierarchy path, then content similarity — and every row carries which +tier matched it. Treat anything below `exact` as a hypothesis: a diff that confidently reports a +rename as a delete plus an add is worse than one that admits it is unsure. + +**Prefab overrides are flagged, not attributed.** An override lives in the *referencing* asset, +inside `PrefabInstance.m_Modification`, and resolving it means opening the source prefab. So the +change is reported against the instance with a `prefabInstance` flag and a note that attribution +stops at this asset — never as "the Player's mass changed". + +### vcs blame + +Who last changed each object. `git blame` on a serialized scene answers "who last touched line +4,812", which is not a question anybody has; this answers "who last changed the Player's +Rigidbody". + +```bash +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity + +# Just one object -- and, when it names a GameObject, its components too +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --object Player +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --object Level/Actors/Player + +# Just one serialized field +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --object Player --field m_Mass + +# As of a tag or release branch rather than HEAD +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --at v1.4.0 + +# Bound the history walk +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --max-revisions 50 + +unity vcs blame Assets/Scenes/Level.unity --json +``` + +One row per object: what it is, its hierarchy path, whether the commit **changed** or **created** +it, the commit, author, date, the identity confidence, and which fields moved. + +- `--object` matches an object's own name, its hierarchy path, **or its owning GameObject's + name** — which is what makes `--object Player` return the Player and every component on it. +- `--field` narrows each row to the newest commit that changed that field, and drops objects + that do not carry it. +- `--at` blames as of another revision, so you can ask what a release branch shipped. +- `--max-revisions` bounds the walk (default 200).

The count is also + reported as a warning. +- `attribution: unattributed` (`unknown` in the table) means the walk hit its bound with that + object still unchanged. Its real answer is older; raise `--max-revisions`. In `--json` this is + `walkBounded: true`, and a consumer acting on the output should branch on it. +- `historyCrossedNonYaml` means history reaches a revision where the asset was + binary-serialized, so the walk stopped rather than attributing every object to the commit that + switched Asset Serialization Mode. + +A binary-serialized or non-Unity asset is reported as such, never as an empty result. + +### vcs summarize + +What a branch changed, ready to paste into a pull request: counts by Unity category, plus the +risks worth a reviewer's attention — GUID changes that may break references, assets moved +without their `.meta`, binaries that cannot be reviewed as text, and package-manifest changes. + +```bash +unity vcs summarize --since main +unity vcs summarize --since origin/dev --json +``` + +`--since` is **required** and takes a **revision**; the summary is measured from its merge base +with `HEAD`.

Same flag name, three leaves, two meanings. + +Two things it deliberately does: + +- **The recommendation is narrower than the report.** A size floor over a long history finds + generated bundles, sourcemaps and docs as readily as textures, and telling a team to put its + source into LFS stops it diffing and merging. So the include list is restricted to the asset + types the shipped `.gitattributes` template already routes through LFS, plus what the + repository already tracks. Everything else is reported and named as *not* offered. +- **A bounded scan still prints an unbounded migration.** `--since` narrows the diagnosis, but + the printed `git lfs migrate import` carries `--everything`, because a rewrite that skips a + branch leaves every blob on it reachable and the repository does not shrink. + +It prints the command rather than running it: this rewrites history. + +### vcs git worktree + +A git worktree with the right editor version, a seeded `Library`, and a Hub registry row — so a +second branch is usable in minutes instead of a full reimport. + +```bash +unity vcs git worktree add feature/lighting +unity vcs git worktree add feature/lighting --into ../lighting --seed full +unity vcs git worktree add feature/lighting --install-editor +unity vcs git worktree add feature/lighting --dry-run +unity vcs git worktree add feature/lighting --no-register +unity vcs git worktree remove ../lighting +unity vcs git worktree remove ../lighting --discard-changes --force +``` + +`--seed` takes `cache`, `full`, or `none`. The default deliberately **withholds +`PackageCache/`**: it is three quarters of a real `Library`'s bytes, and copying it finishes +*later* than withholding it, because UPM refills it from its own global store during the import +either way. + +`--no-register` leaves the new worktree out of the Hub project registry, so it does not show up in +`unity projects list` or in the Hub. Use it for a short-lived checkout you do not want to keep +track of. + +`remove` requires the path, so a bare run can never delete the checkout you are standing in. + +--- + +## UVCS + +`unity vcs uvcs` holds the reads that **join `cm` data to your project** — the things a raw +passthrough cannot do.

Prefer the wrapped verbs when something *parses* the output; +prefer the passthrough when a human reads it, or when you need a `cm` verb we do not wrap. + +Mutations in `cm`'s vocabulary — shelves, partial checkout, lock acquire and release — are +deliberately *not* wrapped: `cm` versions that vocabulary, and a wrapper would pin a paraphrase +of it at build time and rot silently. + +`review reply` and `review resolve` both require `--review` and `--comment`; `resolve` +additionally requires `--changeset`, the changeset the comment was applied in. + +--- + +## Machine output + +Every read verb here supports `--format json` (and `--ndjson`) with the standard envelope: +`success`, `command`, `data`, `errors`, `warnings`. The `data` payload carries raw values — +unsanitized names, paths and field names exactly as the file holds them — because that is what a +consumer matches against the asset. Human and `tsv` output are sanitized for terminal display +instead. + +`tsv` is the **default whenever stdout is redirected**, not `human`.
