Unity Prefab Skills

BATCH-FIRST: Use prefab_instantiate_batch when spawning 2+ prefab instances.

Operating Mode

Approval 模式下本模块为 Mixed —— 只读 skill prefab_get_overrides / prefab_find_instances（标 ReadOnly = true, Mode = SkillMode.SemiAuto）可直接执行；其余 9 个写类 skill (prefab_create / prefab_instantiate / prefab_instantiate_batch / prefab_apply / prefab_unpack / prefab_revert_overrides / prefab_apply_overrides / prefab_create_variant / prefab_set_property) 为 SkillMode.FullAuto，需用户 grant 单次执行返结果。Auto / Bypass 直接执行。本模块不含 NeverInSemi 高危 skill（无 Delete / PlayMode / Reload）。

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

• prefab_create_from_object does not exist → use prefab_create (takes scene object name/instanceId and savePath)
• prefab_spawn does not exist → use prefab_instantiate
• prefab_edit / prefab_modify do not exist → use prefab_set_property (edit prefab asset directly) or instantiate, modify, then prefab_apply
• prefab_save does not exist → use prefab_apply (applies instance changes to source prefab)

Routing:

• To modify components on a prefab instance in scene → use component module skills, then prefab_apply
• To set a property directly on the prefab asset → prefab_set_property (this module)
• To find all instances of a prefab → prefab_find_instances (this module)

Skills Overview

No batch needed:

• prefab_create - Create prefab from scene object
• prefab_apply - Apply instance changes to prefab
• prefab_unpack - Unpack prefab instance
• prefab_get_overrides - Get instance overrides
• prefab_revert_overrides - Revert to prefab values
• prefab_apply_overrides - Apply overrides to prefab
• prefab_create_variant - Create a prefab variant
• prefab_find_instances - Find all instances of a prefab in scene
• prefab_set_property - Set a property on a component inside a Prefab asset (supports basic types, vectors, colors, and asset references)

Skills

prefab_create

Create a prefab from a scene GameObject.

*At least one source identifier required.

Returns: {success, prefabPath, sourceObject}

prefab_instantiate

Instantiate a prefab into the scene.

Returns: {success, name, entityId, instanceId, path, prefabPath, position}

prefab_instantiate_batch

Instantiate multiple prefabs in one call.

Item properties: prefabPath, name, x, y, z, rotX, rotY, rotZ, scaleX, scaleY, scaleZ, parentEntityId, parentName, parentInstanceId, parentPath

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

unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_instantiate_batch", items=[
    {"prefabPath": "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab", "x": 0, "z": 0, "name": "Enemy_01"},
    {"prefabPath": "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab", "x": 2, "z": 0, "name": "Enemy_02"},
    {"prefabPath": "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab", "x": 4, "z": 0, "name": "Enemy_03"}
])

prefab_apply

Apply instance changes back to the prefab asset.

*At least one identifier required.

Returns: {success, gameObject, prefabPath}

prefab_unpack

Unpack a prefab instance (break prefab connection).

*At least one identifier required.

Returns: {success, gameObject, mode}

prefab_get_overrides

Get list of property overrides on a prefab instance.

Returns: {success, overrides: [{type, path, property}]}

prefab_revert_overrides

Revert all overrides on a prefab instance back to prefab values.

prefab_apply_overrides

Apply all overrides from instance to source prefab asset.

prefab_create_variant

Create a prefab variant from an existing prefab.

Returns: { success, sourcePath, variantPath, name }

prefab_find_instances

Find all instances of a prefab in the current scene.

Returns: { success, prefabPath, count, instances: [{ name, path, instanceId }] }

prefab_set_property

Set a property on a component inside a Prefab asset file (without instantiating it). Supports basic types, vectors, colors, enums, and asset references.

Provide either value (basic types) or assetReferencePath (asset references).

Returns: { success, prefabPath, gameObject, component, property, valueSet }

# Set a float property on prefab root
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
    componentType="EnemyStats",
    propertyName="maxHealth",
    value="100"
)

# Assign an asset reference to a prefab component
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
    componentType="AudioSource",
    propertyName="m_audioClip",
    assetReferencePath="Assets/Audio/hit.wav"
)

# Edit a child object inside a prefab
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_set_property",
    prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Player.prefab",
    componentType="MeshRenderer",
    propertyName="m_Materials.Array.data[0]",
    assetReferencePath="Assets/Materials/PlayerSkin.mat",
    gameObjectName="Body"
)

Example: Efficient Enemy Spawning

import unity_skills

# BAD: 10 API calls for 10 enemies
for i in range(10):
    unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_instantiate",
        prefabPath="Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab",
        name=f"Enemy_{i}",
        x=i * 2
    )

# GOOD: 1 API call for 10 enemies
unity_skills.call_skill("prefab_instantiate_batch", items=[
    {"prefabPath": "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab", "name": f"Enemy_{i}", "x": i * 2}
    for i in range(10)
])

Best Practices

1. Organize prefabs in dedicated folders
2. Use prefabs for repeated objects
3. Apply changes to update all instances
4. Unpack only when unique modifications needed
5. Use batch instantiation for level generation
