| description | Inspect and control Unity Editor state with unity-cli. Use when the user asks to ping the editor, read console output, inspect or update a project setting, run a menu item, inspect windows or selection, manage packages, or capture profiler data. Do not use for scene authoring or asset edits; use `unity-scene-create`, `unity-asset-management`, or `unity-csharp-edit` for those workflows. |

Editor Tools
Use this skill for editor-wide diagnostics and control: console, project settings, menu items, windows, selection, package manager, and profiler. Hand off to a domain skill once the request narrows to scene, asset, or code work.
Use When
- The user asks for editor health checks, console logs, or profiler data.
- The user wants to inspect or change a project setting.
- The user wants to run a menu item, inspect windows, or manipulate the current selection.
- The user wants package manager or registry operations from the editor side.
Do Not Use When
- The task is primarily about a specific scene or prefab; use
unity-scene-create or unity-prefab-workflow.
- The work is asset import or material edits; use
unity-asset-management.
- The work is a C# refactor; use
unity-csharp-edit.
- The user only needs Play Mode or test execution; use
unity-playmode-testing.
Preferred Flow
- Verify connectivity with
unity-cli system ping and get_editor_state.
- Read state before mutating it: console before clearing, settings before updating, profiler status before start/stop.
- Apply one editor-wide change at a time and verify the result immediately.
- Capture before/after state when project settings or packages change.
unity-cli system ping
unity-cli raw get_editor_state --json '{}'
unity-cli raw read_console --json '{"count":20}'
unity-cli raw update_project_settings --json '{"confirmChanges":true,"player":{"companyName":"MyStudio"}}'
unity-cli raw profiler_start --json '{}'
unity-cli raw profiler_stop --json '{}'
unity-cli raw package_manager --json '{"action":"install","packageId":"com.unity.inputsystem"}'
Examples
- "Show me the latest Unity console errors."
- "Update the company name in Project Settings."
- "Start the profiler, record briefly, stop, and report the status."
