Unity Importer Skill for Cursor

Unity Importer Skills

Use this module to change import settings for textures, audio, and models that already exist in the project.

> Batch-first: Prefer the batch setters when configuring 2+ assets of the same category.

Guardrails

Operating Mode (v1.9 three-tier):

• Approval (default): query/getter skills (texture_get_settings, texture_get_info, texture_find_assets, texture_find_by_size, texture_get_platform_settings, texture_get_import_settings, audio_get_settings, audio_get_clip_info, audio_find_clips, audio_find_sources_in_scene, audio_get_source_info, audio_get_import_settings, model_get_settings, model_find_assets, model_get_mesh_info, model_get_materials_info, model_get_animations_info, model_get_rig_info, model_get_import_settings, asset_get_labels) run directly. Setters / reimport are FullAuto — on MODE_RESTRICTED, run the grant protocol.
• Auto / Bypass: SemiAuto and FullAuto run directly.
• This module contains no Delete / PlayMode / Reload / RiskLevel="high" skills — nothing auto-classifies as forbidden. Importer mutations are reachable via grant in Approval mode.
• Setting changes do not always apply in memory immediately; call asset_reimport / asset_reimport_batch when Unity needs to fully refresh the asset.

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• importer_import does not exist -> use asset_import in the asset module to bring files into the project
• importer_set_format does not exist -> use the specific texture/audio/model setters
• importer_get_settings does not exist -> use the category-specific getters
• Settings changes do not always apply instantly in memory. Reimport may still be required

Routing:

• File import or refresh -> asset
• Texture settings -> texture_*
• Audio settings -> audio_*
• Model settings -> model_*
• Alternative importer bridge skills -> texture_set_import_settings, audio_set_import_settings, model_set_import_settings
• Force importer refresh -> asset_reimport or asset_reimport_batch

Skills

Texture Route

Import settings:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| texture_get_settings | Read texture importer settings | assetPath |

| texture_set_settings | Set texture importer settings | assetPath, textureType?, maxSize?, filterMode?, compression?, mipmapEnabled?, sRGB?, readable?, wrapMode? |

| texture_set_settings_batch | Batch texture settings | items |

| texture_get_import_settings | Read minimal importer settings (type/maxSize/compression/filter/srgb/readable/mipmap) | assetPath |

| texture_set_import_settings | Alternative texture import bridge | similar texture fields |

Query and runtime info:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| texture_find_assets | Search Texture2D assets by AssetDatabase filter | filter?, limit? (default 50) |

| texture_get_info | Inspect dimensions, format, and runtime memory size | assetPath |

| texture_find_by_size | Find textures in a dimension range (pixels) | minSize? (0), maxSize? (99999), limit? (50) |

Typed / platform overrides:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| texture_set_type | Switch texture type | assetPath, textureType (Default/NormalMap/Sprite/EditorGUI/Cursor/Cookie/Lightmap/SingleChannel) |

| texture_set_platform_settings | Override per-platform settings | assetPath, platform (Standalone/iPhone/Android/WebGL), maxSize?, format?, compressionQuality?, overridden? |

| texture_get_platform_settings | Read per-platform override | assetPath, platform |

| texture_set_sprite_settings | Sprite-specific knobs (PPU, mode) | assetPath, pixelsPerUnit?, spriteMode? (Single/Multiple/Polygon) |

| sprite_set_import_settings | Sprite importer bridge (PPU, packingTag, pivot) | assetPath, spriteMode?, pixelsPerUnit?, packingTag?, pivotX?, pivotY? |

Common texture decisions:

• UI sprites -> textureType="Sprite", usually mipmapEnabled=false
• Pixel art -> filterMode="Point"
• Runtime CPU reads -> readable=true only when necessary
• Platform-tuned builds -> prefer texture_set_platform_settings over global texture_set_settings

Audio Route

Import settings:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| audio_get_settings | Read audio importer settings | assetPath |

| audio_set_settings | Set audio importer settings | assetPath, forceToMono?, loadInBackground?, loadType?, compressionFormat?, quality? |

| audio_set_settings_batch | Batch audio settings | items |

| audio_get_import_settings | Read minimal importer defaults (loadType/format/quality/forceToMono/loadInBackground) | assetPath |

| audio_set_import_settings | Alternative audio import bridge | similar audio fields |

Clip query and info:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| audio_find_clips | Search AudioClip assets by filter | filter?, limit? (default 50) |

| audio_get_clip_info | Inspect length/channels/frequency/samples of a clip | assetPath |

Scene runtime (AudioSource / AudioMixer):

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| audio_add_source | Add an AudioSource to a GameObject | target (name/instanceId/path), clipPath?, playOnAwake? (false), loop? (false), volume? (1) |

| audio_get_source_info | Read the AudioSource configuration | target |

| audio_set_source_properties | Update AudioSource fields | target, clipPath?, volume?, pitch?, loop?, playOnAwake?, mute?, spatialBlend?, priority? |

| audio_find_sources_in_scene | List all AudioSources in the active scene | limit? (default 50) |

| audio_create_mixer | Create a new AudioMixer asset | mixerName? (default NewAudioMixer), folder? (default Assets) |

Common audio decisions:

• Long BGM -> loadType="Streaming"
• Short SFX -> loadType="DecompressOnLoad"
• Memory-sensitive SFX libraries -> consider forceToMono=true
• Scene-side AudioSource tuning -> prefer audio_set_source_properties over manual component edits

Model Route

Import settings:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| model_get_settings | Read model importer settings | assetPath |

| model_set_settings | Set model importer settings | assetPath, globalScale?, meshCompression?, isReadable?, generateSecondaryUV?, animationType?, importAnimation?, importCameras?, importLights?, materialImportMode? |

| model_set_settings_batch | Batch model settings | items |

| model_get_import_settings | Read minimal importer defaults (scale/compression/animationType/importAnimation/materialImportMode) | assetPath |

| model_set_import_settings | Alternative model import bridge | similar model fields |

Query and info:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| model_find_assets | Search model assets by filter | filter?, limit? (default 50) |

| model_get_mesh_info | Mesh vertex / triangle / submesh stats | target (name/instanceId/path) or assetPath |

| model_get_materials_info | Inspect sub-asset materials embedded in the model | assetPath |

| model_get_animations_info | List animation clips and framerates on the model | assetPath |

| model_get_rig_info | Read animationType, avatar, skeleton binding info | assetPath |

Animation and rig:

| Skill | Use | Key parameters |

|-------|-----|----------------|

| model_set_animation_clips | Configure animation clip splits | assetPath, clips (JSON array of {name, firstFrame, lastFrame, loop}) |

| model_set_rig | Switch rig/skeleton mode | assetPath, animationType (None/Legacy/Generic/Humanoid), avatarSetup? |

Common model decisions:

• Characters -> animationType="Humanoid" when retargeting is required
• Static props -> disable cameras/lights/animation imports when unused
• Baked-lighting meshes -> enable secondary UVs when appropriate
• After model_set_rig or model_set_animation_clips -> call asset_reimport to refresh clips and avatar

Reimport Rule

After importer changes, use reimport when you need Unity to fully refresh the asset:

| Skill | Use |

|-------|-----|

| asset_reimport | Reimport one asset |

| asset_reimport_batch | Reimport assets matching a search scope |

Minimal Example

import unity_skills

unity_skills.call_skill("texture_set_settings_batch", items=[
    {"assetPath": "Assets/UI/icon_play.png", "textureType": "Sprite", "mipmapEnabled": False},
    {"assetPath": "Assets/UI/icon_pause.png", "textureType": "Sprite", "mipmapEnabled": False}
])

unity_skills.call_skill("audio_set_settings",
    assetPath="Assets/Audio/bgm.mp3",
    loadType="Streaming",
    compressionFormat="Vorbis",
    quality=0.7
)

unity_skills.call_skill("asset_reimport", assetPath="Assets/Audio/bgm.mp3")
