Before 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

• Adding or tuning lights
• Setting up scene lighting
• Batch-enabling/disabling lights
• 添加或调校灯光、布置场景照明、批量开关灯光

Unity Light Skills

BATCH-FIRST: Use *_batch skills when operating on 2+ lights.

Operating Mode

• Approval (default): mutating skills (light_create, light_set_properties, light_set_properties_batch, light_set_enabled, light_set_enabled_batch, light_add_probe_group, light_add_reflection_probe) need user grant; grant triggers a single server-side execution that returns the result.
• Auto / Bypass: those skills execute directly.
• Query skills (light_get_info, light_get_properties, light_find_all, light_get_lightmap_settings) are SkillMode.SemiAuto — they run in all three modes without grant.
• This module contains no Delete / PlayMode / Reload / high-risk skills (no NeverInSemi); to remove a Light, call gameobject_delete from the gameobject module.

Guardrails

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• light_add does not exist → use light_create (creates a new light GameObject)
• light_set_color / light_set_intensity do not exist → use light_set_properties (sets color, intensity, range, shadows together)
• light_delete does not exist → use gameobject_delete on the light's GameObject
• light_set_shadow does not exist → use light_set_properties with the shadows parameter
• shadows values are the Unity enum members None / Hard / Soft. Input is matched case-insensitively ("soft" still works) but responses always echo the capitalised form, so compare against Soft, not soft, when verifying

Routing:

• For lightmap baking settings → light_get_lightmap_settings (this module)
• For reflection probes → light_add_reflection_probe (this module)
• For light probe groups → light_add_probe_group (this module)

Object Targeting: All single-object skills accept name (string) and instanceId (int, preferred). Provide at least one. path (hierarchy path) is also accepted where noted.

Light Types

Type	Description	Use Case
Directional	Parallel rays, no position	Sun, moon
Point	Omnidirectional from a point	Torches, bulbs
Spot	Cone-shaped beam	Flashlights, spotlights
Area	Rectangle/disc (baked only)	Windows, soft lights

---

Skills

light_create

Create a new light.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	No	"New Light"	Light name
lightType	string	No	"Point"	Directional/Point/Spot/Area
x, y, z	float	No	0,3,0	Position
r, g, b	float	No	1,1,1	Color (0-1)
intensity	float	No	1	Light intensity
range	float	No	10	Range (Point/Spot)
spotAngle	float	No	30	Cone angle (Spot only)
shadows	string	No	"Soft"	None / Hard / Soft

Returns: {success, name, instanceId, lightType, position, color, intensity, shadows}

light_set_properties

Configure light properties. Every parameter is optional and omitted ones keep their current value.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
name	string	No*	Light object name
instanceId	int	No*	Instance ID (preferred)
path	string	No*	Hierarchy path
r, g, b	float	No	Color (0-1); each channel defaults to the light's current value
a	float	No	Colour alpha (0-1)
intensity	float	No	Light intensity
range	float	No	Range (Point/Spot only)
spotAngle	float	No	Cone angle (Spot only)
shadows	string	No	None / Hard / Soft

Returns: {success, name, applied, skipped, lightType, color, intensity, range, spotAngle, shadows} — applied lists the parameters that took effect, named exactly as you passed them (the colour channels appear individually as r, g, b, a, not lumped under color), and skipped the ones the light type cannot carry (a range on a Directional light, a spotAngle on anything but a Spot), each with the reason. A parameter in neither list was not supplied.

An unrecognised shadows value rejects the whole call with SEMANTIC_INVALID + validValues and applies nothing, so a typo can no longer leave a half-configured light behind.

light_set_properties_batch

Configure multiple lights. Each item accepts: name/instanceId/path (identifier) + r, g, b, a, intensity, range, shadows (all optional). A bad shadows value fails that item with SEMANTIC_INVALID + validValues and names the object in target; the other items still run.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
items	json string	Yes	-	JSON array of per-item objects (see example below)

Returns: {success, totalItems, successCount, failCount, results: [{success, name}]}

unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Light1", "intensity": 2.0, "r": 1, "g": 0.9, "b": 0.8},
    {"instanceId": 12345, "intensity": 1.5, "shadows": "soft"},
    {"name": "Light3", "intensity": 2.0}
])

light_set_enabled

Enable or disable a light.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	No*	-	Light object name
instanceId	int	No*	-	Instance ID
path	string	No*	-	Hierarchy path
enabled	bool	No	true	Enable state

Returns: {success, name, enabled}

light_set_enabled_batch

Enable or disable multiple lights.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
items	json string	Yes	-	JSON array of per-item objects (see example below)

Returns: {success, totalItems, successCount, failCount, results: [{success, name, enabled}]}

unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_enabled_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Torch1", "enabled": False},
    {"name": "Torch2", "enabled": False},
    {"name": "Torch3", "enabled": False}
])

light_get_info

Get detailed light information.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
name	string	No*	Light object name
instanceId	int	No*	Instance ID
path	string	No*	Hierarchy path

Returns: {name, entityId, instanceId, path, lightType, color, intensity, range, spotAngle, shadows, enabled, cullingMask, bounceIntensity}

light_get_properties

Alias of light_get_info — same parameters, same response. It exists because the setter is light_set_properties, so the matching getter name resolves instead of 404-ing.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
name	string	No*	Light object name
instanceId	int	No*	Instance ID
path	string	No*	Hierarchy path

Returns: identical to light_get_info.

light_find_all

Find all lights in scene.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
lightType	string	No	null	Filter by type
limit	int	No	50	Max results

Returns: {count, lights: [{name, instanceId, path, lightType, intensity, enabled}]}

light_add_probe_group

Add a Light Probe Group to a GameObject. Optional grid layout: gridX/gridY/gridZ (count per axis), spacingX/spacingY/spacingZ (meters between probes).

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	No	null	GameObject name
instanceId	int	No	0	Instance ID
path	string	No	null	Hierarchy path
gridX	int	No	0	Probe count on X axis
gridY	int	No	0	Probe count on Y axis
gridZ	int	No	0	Probe count on Z axis
spacingX	float	No	2	Meters between probes on X
spacingY	float	No	1.5	Meters between probes on Y
spacingZ	float	No	2	Meters between probes on Z

Returns: { success, gameObject, probeCount, existed, hasGrid }

light_add_reflection_probe

Create a Reflection Probe at a position.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
probeName	string	No	"ReflectionProbe"	Probe name
x, y, z	float	No	0,1,0	Position
sizeX, sizeY, sizeZ	float	No	10,10,10	Probe box size
resolution	int	No	256	Cubemap resolution

Returns: { success, name, instanceId, resolution, size }

light_get_lightmap_settings

Get Lightmap baking settings.

No parameters.

Returns: { success, bakedGI, realtimeGI, lightmapSize, lightmapPadding, isRunning, lightmapCount }

Example: Efficient Lighting Setup

import unity_skills

# BAD: 4 API calls
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light1", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light2", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light3", intensity=2.0)
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties", name="Light4", intensity=2.0)

# GOOD: 1 API call
unity_skills.call_skill("light_set_properties_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Light1", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light2", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light3", "intensity": 2.0},
    {"name": "Light4", "intensity": 2.0}
])

Minimal Example

unity_skills.call_skill("light_create",
    name="Sun", lightType="Directional",
    r=1, g=0.95, b=0.85, intensity=1.2, shadows="soft"
)

---

Best Practices

1. Use Directional light for main scene illumination
2. Point lights for localized sources (lamps, fires)
3. Spot lights for focused beams (flashlights, stage)
4. Limit real-time shadows for performance
5. Area lights require baking (not real-time)
6. Use intensity > 1 for HDR/bloom effects
