What new-unity-project does

This skill coordinates the setup flow for a new game. It collects details on gameplay and target platforms before creating files. Once platforms are chosen, it launches the Unity Editor install in the background. That way, the installer runs while the interview continues.

It does not implement the platform commands directly. Instead, it delegates execution to companion skills like unity-cli and unity-package-management. Then it creates a URP template and initialises Git version control.

You cannot run this flow standalone, because it requires unity-cli and unity-package-management to perform the actual project actions.

What it helps with

  • Clarify game scope and target platforms before generating code
  • Run the Unity Editor installation in the background during setup
  • Scaffold a project from a URP template with Git version control
  • Add appropriate packages based on target platforms

Example prompts for the agent

  • Start a new Unity project for a 2D pixel-art platformer
  • Help me set up a 3D mobile game prototype in Unity
  • Create a new desktop game in Unity with URP and Git
