Unity Template Generator
Assists with generating production-ready Unity C# script templates that follow best practices and Unity conventions.
Available Templates
MonoBehaviour - GameObject components with lifecycle methods, serialized fields, component caching, and Gizmo helpers.
ScriptableObject - Data assets with [CreateAssetMenu], validation, encapsulation, and clone methods.
Editor Script - Custom inspectors or windows. Asks for UGUI vs UI Toolkit preference (see [unity-ui-selector](../unity-ui-selector/SKILL.md)).
Test Script - NUnit/PlayMode tests with Setup/TearDown, [UnityTest], performance tests, and Arrange-Act-Assert pattern.
Template Features
All templates include:
- Unity coding conventions (
[SerializeField], PascalCase, XML docs) - Performance patterns (component caching, no GetComponent in Update)
- Code organization (#region directives, consistent ordering)
- Safety features (null checks, OnValidate, Gizmos)
Placeholders: {{CLASSNAME}}, {{NAMESPACE}}, {{DESCRIPTION}}, {{MENUPATH}}, {{FILE_NAME}}
See [template-reference.md](template-reference.md) for detailed customization options.
When to Use vs Other Components
Use this Skill when: Discussing template options, understanding template features, or getting guidance on script structure
Use @unity-scripter agent when: Writing custom scripts with specific requirements or implementing complex Unity features
Use @unity-refactor agent when: Improving existing scripts or restructuring code for better maintainability
Use /unity:new-script command when: Actually generating script files from templates with specific parameters
Use /unity:setup-test command when: Setting up complete test environments with test scripts
