What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Install this skill into your Claude Code setup to get accurate, sourced answers about Unity 6 2D tilemap modes, sprite sorting, and batching without Claude hallucinating outdated defaults.

USE CASE 2

Invoke /unity-2d-expert in Claude Code to get step-by-step guidance on setting up Y-sort for a 2D character that renders correctly between tilemap layers.

USE CASE 3

Use the reference files as a fact-checked study guide for Unity 6 URP 2D rendering behavior, with each rule linked to its source documentation page.

In plain English

Unity 2D Expert is a plug-in knowledge module for Claude, the AI assistant. Instead of asking Claude generic Unity questions and hoping it gets the details right, you install this skill into your Claude setup and it gives Claude a structured, sourced knowledge base specifically about Unity 6's 2D rendering and game development features. The skill covers areas that developers commonly get wrong or find confusing: how sprites are scaled using pixels-per-unit, how draw order and depth sorting work, how the three modes of the Tilemap Renderer behave differently from each other, when and how the SRP Batcher actually helps performance (and what it does not do), 2D physics, 2D lighting, and setting up pixel-art projects correctly. What makes it different from a general Claude conversation is the discipline behind the content. Every rule in the skill traces back to the official Unity 6000.0 documentation, with source URLs kept in the reference files. Where the author tested things in an actual Unity editor and found that the real behavior differed from the documented default, those observations are flagged separately with a review tag so a human can verify them. The skill includes over 500 sourced facts covering fields, default values, and known gotchas. To install it, you clone the repository into a specific folder in your Claude configuration directory, either at the user level so it is available in all projects, or inside a specific project folder. Claude then picks it up automatically and uses it when you ask about Unity 2D topics, or you can invoke it directly with a slash command. The repository includes a top-level decision file that Claude reads first, plus several reference files on specific topics including one dedicated to confirmed observations that diverge from the documentation.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm using Unity 6 URP and my character sprites need to sort correctly above and below tilemap tiles. Using the unity-2d-expert skill, give me the exact Y-sort configuration steps.
Prompt 2
What is the difference between Chunk, Individual, and SRP-Batch modes in the Unity 6 Tilemap Renderer, and when should I use each one?
Prompt 3
I have thousands of SpriteRenderer GameObjects in my Unity 2D scene and performance is slow. What does the unity-2d-expert skill say about the cost of off-screen sprites and how to reduce it?
Prompt 4
How do I install the unity-2d-expert Claude skill at the project level so it only applies to my Unity game repository?
