Unity Light

besty0728/unity-light

Create and configure Unity lights — Directional/Point/Spot/Area lights and batch-toggling scene lights. Use when adding or tuning lights, setting up scene lighting, or batch-enabling/disabling lights, even if the user just says "加个灯" or "打光". 创建与配置 Unity 灯光(Directional/Point/Spot/Area 灯光、批量开关场景灯光);当用户要添加或调校灯光、布置场景照明、或批量启用/禁用灯光时使用。

Unity Light Skills

> BATCH-FIRST: Use *_batch skills when operating on 2+ lights.

Operating Mode

  • Approval (default): mutating skills (light_create, light_set_properties, light_set_properties_batch, light_set_enabled, light_set_enabled_batch, light_add_probe_group, light_add_reflection_probe) need user grant; grant triggers a single server-side execution that returns the result.
  • Auto / Bypass: those skills execute directly.
  • Query skills (light_get_info, light_find_all, light_get_lightmap_settings) are SkillMode.SemiAuto — they run in all three modes without grant.
  • This module contains no Delete / PlayMode / Reload / high-risk skills (no NeverInSemi); to remove a Light, call gameobject_delete from the gameobject module.

Guardrails

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

  • light_add does not exist → use light_create (creates a new light GameObject)
  • light_set_color / light_set_intensity do not exist → use light_set_properties (sets color, intensity, range, shadows together)
  • light_delete does not exist → use gameobject_delete on the light's GameObject
  • light_set_shadow does not exist → use light_set_properties with shadows parameter ("none"/"hard"/"soft")

Routing:

  • For lightmap baking settings → light_get_lightmap_settings (this module)
  • For reflection probes → light_add_reflection_probe (this module)
  • For light probe groups → light_add_probe_group (this module)

> Object Targeting: All single-object skills accept name (string) and instanceId (int, preferred). Provide at least one. path (hierarchy path) is also accepted where noted.

Example: Efficient Lighting Setup

import unity_skills

# BAD: 4 API calls
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light1", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light2", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light3", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light4", intensity=2.0)

# GOOD: 1 API call
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Light1", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light2", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light3", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light4", "intensity": 2.0}
])

Minimal Example

unity_skills.call_skill("light_create",
    name="Sun", lightType="Directional",
    r=1, g=0.95, b=0.85, intensity=1.2, shadows="soft"
)

Best Practices

  • Use Directional light for main scene illumination
  • Point lights for localized sources (lamps, fires)
  • Spot lights for focused beams (flashlights, stage)
  • Limit real-time shadows for performance
  • Area lights require baking (not real-time)
  • Use intensity > 1 for HDR/bloom effects

Exact Signatures

Exact names, parameters, defaults, and returns are defined by GET /skills/schema or unity_skills.get_skill_schema(), not by this file.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take besty0728/unity-light from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
