> BATCH-FIRST: Use prefab_instantiate_batch when spawning 2+ prefab instances.

Operating Mode

Approval 模式下本模块为 Mixed —— 只读 skill prefab_get_overrides / prefab_find_instances（标 ReadOnly = true, Mode = SkillMode.SemiAuto）可直接执行；其余 9 个写类 skill (prefab_create / prefab_instantiate / prefab_instantiate_batch / prefab_apply / prefab_unpack / prefab_revert_overrides / prefab_apply_overrides / prefab_create_variant / prefab_set_property) 为 SkillMode.FullAuto，需用户 grant 单次执行返结果。Auto / Bypass 直接执行。本模块不含 NeverInSemi 高危 skill（无 Delete / PlayMode / Reload）。

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• prefab_create_from_object does not exist → use prefab_create (takes scene object name/instanceId and savePath)
• prefab_spawn does not exist → use prefab_instantiate
• prefab_edit / prefab_modify do not exist → use prefab_set_property (edit prefab asset directly) or instantiate, modify, then prefab_apply
• prefab_save does not exist → use prefab_apply (applies instance changes to source prefab)

Routing:

• To modify components on a prefab instance in scene → use component module skills, then prefab_apply
• To set a property directly on the prefab asset → prefab_set_property (this module)
• To find all instances of a prefab → prefab_find_instances (this module)

# Set a float property on prefab root
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
    componentType="EnemyStats",
    propertyName="maxHealth",
    value="100"
)

# Assign an asset reference to a prefab component
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
    componentType="AudioSource",
    propertyName="m_audioClip",
    assetReferencePath="Assets/Audio/hit.wav"
)

# Edit a child object inside a prefab
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Player.prefab",
    componentType="MeshRenderer",
    propertyName="m_Materials.Array.data[0]",
    assetReferencePath="Assets/Materials/PlayerSkin.mat",
    gameObjectName="Body"
)

Example: Efficient Enemy Spawning

import unity_skills

# BAD: 10 API calls for 10 enemies
for i in range(10):
    unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_instantiate",
        prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
        name=f"Enemy_{i}",
        x=i * 2
    )

# GOOD: 1 API call for 10 enemies
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_instantiate_batch", items=[
    {"prefabPath": "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab", "name": f"Enemy_{i}", "x": i * 2}
    for i in range(10)
])

Best Practices

• Organize prefabs in dedicated folders
• Use prefabs for repeated objects
• Apply changes to update all instances
• Unpack only when unique modifications needed
• Use batch instantiation for level generation
