unity-audio

unity-audio is a skill for Claude Code from Nice-Wolf-Studio/unity-claude-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (4,477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to Unity 6’s audio system, including sound files, AudioSources, AudioListeners, mixers, effects, and 3D spatial sound. It explains how Unity places, plays, mixes, and imports audio.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding music or sound effects, configuring 3D audio, setting up mixer groups and snapshots, or optimizing audio assets.
Why use it?
It helps you understand why sounds come from particular objects and how distance, direction, mixing, and import settings affect playback.

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-audio 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 6d 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.

Unity Audio System

Audio System Overview

Unity's audio system provides full 3D spatial sound, real-time mixing and mastering, hierarchies of mixers, snapshots, and predefined effects. The core architecture follows a source-listener model:

  1. AudioClip -- A container for audio data imported into the project
  2. AudioSource -- A component attached to a GameObject that plays AudioClips
  3. AudioListener -- A microphone-like component (typically on the Main Camera) that receives audio from sources and outputs to speakers
  4. Audio Mixer -- A central hub for mixing sources, applying effects, and mastering output

Sounds originate from AudioSources attached to objects and are picked up by the AudioListener. Unity calculates a source's distance and position from the listener to determine volume, panning, and 3D effects. The system also models the Doppler Effect using the relative speed of the source and listener objects.

Supported Audio Formats

Format Type
.aif, .wav Uncompressed
.mp3, .ogg Compressed
.xm, .mod, .it, .s3m Tracker modules

Unity supports mono, stereo, and multichannel audio assets (up to eight channels).


AudioSource and AudioListener

AudioSource

The AudioSource component plays an AudioClip in your scene and provides options to customize playback behavior. Key properties:

Property Description Default
clip The AudioClip to play None
volume Playback volume (0.0 to 1.0) 1.0
pitch Playback speed/pitch multiplier 1.0
loop Whether the clip loops on completion false
playOnAwake Auto-play when the GameObject activates true
spatialBlend 2D (0.0) to 3D (1.0) blend 0.0
priority Source priority (0 = highest, 256 = lowest) 128
mute Mutes the source without stopping playback false
outputAudioMixerGroup Target mixer group for routing None

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
