About unity-perception
unity-perception is a read-only analysis skill set for examining Unity scenes, projects, and scripts. It offers targeted summaries, diagnostics, dependency views, and context exports to help developers understand an unfamiliar project before editing.
Key features
- 01Scene summaries and health checks
- 02Hierarchy and hotspot inspection
- 03Project stack detection
- 04Script analysis and dependency graphs
- 05Scene context and material queries
Use cases
- 01Reviewing a scene before editing
- 02Finding hierarchy or scene health issues
- 03Understanding project packages and pipeline
- 04Tracing script or scene dependencies
Install

Details
From the project READMEBefore calling any skill in this module: if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via
GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.
Triggers
- Gathering context before editing
- Understanding unfamiliar scene/project
- Auditing structure without changes
- 编辑前收集上下文、理解陌生场景或项目、在不改动的前提下审查结构

Operating Mode
- Approval / Auto / Bypass: 本模块 18 个 skill 里有 17 个标
Mode = SkillMode.SemiAuto,三档模式下直接执行无需 grant。其中 16 个是纯读(ReadOnly = true):scene_analyze/scene_summarize/scene_health_check/scene_component_stats/scene_find_hotspots/scene_tag_layer_stats/scene_performance_hints/scene_diff/hierarchy_describe/scene_context/scene_spatial_query/scene_materials/scene_contract_validate/project_stack_detect/script_analyze/script_dependency_graph。 scene_dependency_analyze是第 17 个 SemiAuto,但它不是纯读:传savePath会Directory.CreateDirectory+File.WriteAllText+ImportAsset落一个新工程资产,所以它标MutatesAssets = true而不再标ReadOnly。仍然无需 grant,但它会进 router 的 diff 捕获,schema/flags 里也会带mutatesAssets—— 不传savePath时才真的什么都不写。- 特别说明:
scene_export_report写 markdown 文件到磁盘(Operation = Analyze | Execute,标MutatesAssets = true),因此不是 SemiAuto——它走默认SkillMode.FullAuto,Approval 模式下需要 grant 才能执行。 - 本模块不含 Delete / PlayMode / Reload / RiskLevel=high 类 skill —— 没有

Skills
Scene Health and Summary
| Skill | Use | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|
scene_analyze | Combined scene + project analysis | topComponentsLimit?, issueLimit?, deepHierarchyThreshold?, largeChildCountThreshold? |
scene_health_check | Read-only health report | issueLimit?, deepHierarchyThreshold?, largeChildCountThreshold? |
scene_summarize | Structured scene summary | includeComponentStats?, topComponentsLimit? |
scene_component_stats | Component and facility stats | topComponentsLimit? |
scene_find_hotspots | Deep hierarchy / large group / empty node hotspots | thresholds + maxResults? |
scene_tag_layer_stats | Tag/layer usage | none |
scene_performance_hints | Prioritized optimization hints | none |
Scene Snapshots and Exports
| Skill | Use | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|
scene_diff | Capture or compare lightweight snapshots | snapshotJson? |
hierarchy_describe | Return text hierarchy tree | maxDepth?, includeInactive?, maxItemsPerLevel? |
scene_context | Export hierarchy, components, references | maxDepth?, maxObjects?, rootPath?, includeValues?, includeReferences?, includeCodeDeps? |
scene_export_report | Save markdown scene report | savePath?, maxDepth?, maxObjects? |
scene_dependency_analyze | Analyze impact / dependency graph in-scene | targetPath?, savePath? — writes |
savePathonscene_dependency_analyzeis a write, not an output option. Supplying it creates the directory, writes the markdown report and imports it as a project asset, which is why the skill is flaggedmutatesAssetsrather thanReadOnly. OmitsavePathand you get the same analysis in the response (analysis,markdown) with nothing touched on disk — that is the form to use for a pure "what depends on this" question. Only passsavePathwhen the user actually asked for a file, and expectsavedToin the response naming it.
Project and Script Analysis
| Skill | Use | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|
project_stack_detect | Detect pipeline, input, UI, packages, tests, folders | none |
script_analyze | Analyze one MonoBehaviour / ScriptableObject / user class by class name | scriptName, includePrivate? |
script_dependency_graph | N-hop dependency closure for one script class name | scriptName, maxHops?, includeDetails? |
Spatial and Material Queries
| Skill | Use | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|
scene_spatial_query | Find objects near a point or object | x/y/z?, radius?, nearObject?, componentFilter?, maxResults? |
scene_materials | Summarize scene materials and shaders | includeProperties? |
scene_contract_validate | Validate default roots/tags/layers/UI EventSystem conventions | requiredRootsJson?, requiredTagsJson?, requiredLayersJson?, requireEventSystemForUi? |
High-Frequency Skill Differences
scene_summarize vs scene_analyze vs scene_health_check
| Skill | Best for | Typical output focus |
|---|---|---|
scene_summarize | Fast overview | object counts, hierarchy depth, top components |
scene_analyze | Broad diagnosis | summary + findings + warnings + recommendations + next-skill hints |
scene_health_check | Hygiene / red flags | missing scripts, duplicate names, deep hierarchy, empty nodes, hotspot-style findings |
scene_context vs hierarchy_describe
| Skill | Best for | Output style |
|---|---|---|
hierarchy_describe | Human-readable tree | text tree, lightweight |
scene_context | AI coding context | structured hierarchy + components + references + optional code dependencies |
scene_dependency_analyze vs script_dependency_graph
| Skill | Scope | Use when |
|---|---|---|
scene_dependency_analyze | Scene object references | ask "who depends on this object if I delete or disable it" |
script_dependency_graph | Script class dependency closure | ask "which scripts do I have to touch to change this feature" |
Key Return Shapes
scene_summarize
Returns sceneName, stats, and optional topComponents.
scene_analyze
Returns summary, stats, findings, warnings, recommendations, and suggestedNextSkills.
scene_health_check
Returns summary, findings, hotspots, and suggestedNextSkills.
scene_context
Returns a structured export with objects, references, and optional codeDependencies. Use it when another AI step needs full scene context, not just a human summary.
High-frequency options:
rootPathto export only one subtreeincludeValues=truewhen serialized field values matterincludeCodeDeps=truewhen AI needs a rough scene-to-code dependency picture
scene_export_report
Writes a markdown artifact to disk and returns savedTo, object/script/reference counts, and success state. Prefer this when the user wants a durable report file.
Defaults:
savePath = "Assets/Docs/SceneReport.md"maxDepth = 10maxObjects = 500
