unity-build-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for building Unity 6.3 LTS games and applications for a chosen platform. They cover scenes, build settings, scripting backends, code stripping, scripted builds, and automated or headless builds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to configure or automate Unity builds, choose between Mono and IL2CPP, reduce build size, or connect Unity builds to continuous integration systems.
Why use it?
They explain the Unity settings and build choices that determine what ships, how the program runs, and how large the build is.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

unity-build-pipeline scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Unity Build Pipeline

Configure, script, and automate Unity 6.3 LTS player builds: scenes, platform target, scripting backend, stripping, and headless/CI builds. Targets Unity 6.3 LTS (6000.3).

When to use

  • Use when setting up Build Settings/Profiles, choosing a platform and scripting backend (Mono vs IL2CPP), reducing build size with managed stripping, scripting a repeatable build with BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer, or wiring a CI/headless build.
  • Use when the project has ProjectSettings/EditorBuildSettings.asset or a CI build script.

When not to use: authoring a CI service config end-to-end is DevOps; this skill covers the Unity-side build API and settings. Console/platform certification specifics are platform-NDA territory. Storefront submission → steam-publish / itch-publish.

Core workflow

  1. List the scenes to build (File → Build Profiles → Scene List, or EditorBuildSettings.scenes). Only listed, enabled scenes ship; scene 0 is the start scene. A Build Profile asset can carry its own Scene List (Add Settings → Scene List); when it does, that profile builds its list, not the global one.
  2. Pick the platform target and switch the active build target if needed (BuildTarget / EditorUserBuildSettings). In batch mode, pass -buildTarget <name> on the command line instead: SwitchActiveBuildTarget is not available there.
  3. Choose the scripting backend (Player Settings): Mono (fast iteration, desktop) vs IL2CPP (AOT C++; required for many platforms, better perf, harder to reverse). IL2CPP needs the platform's C++ toolchain installed. (Forward note: Unity is developing a CoreCLR backend as a modern .NET runtime successor to Mono, but in the Unity 6.7 beta it is still experimental, desktop-only, and documented as not suitable for production — so for 6.3 LTS the choice stays Mono vs IL2CPP.)
  4. Tune size/perf: set Managed Stripping Level (Disabled → Minimal → Low → Medium → High) and protect reflection-only code with a link.xml. Set Quality Settings per platform.
  5. Script the build with BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer(BuildPlayerOptions) and inspect the returned BuildReport — a non-Succeeded result must fail your pipeline.
  6. Run headless for CI with -batchmode -quit -executeMethod, and check the exit code.
  7. Verify the actual output runs (launch the player), not just that the build returned without throwing.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
