# Unity Shader Graph Skill Visual shader development using Unity Shader Graph. ## Overview This skill provides capabilities for creating shaders visually using Unity's Shader Graph, enabling artists and developers to build complex materials without writing code. ## Capabilities ### Visual Authoring - Create shader graphs for URP/HDRP - Connect nodes for material logic - Preview effects in real-time - Handle shader variants ### Effect Types - Surface shaders (Lit, Unlit) - Vertex displacement - UV manipulation - Procedural textures ### Custom Development - Create custom nodes - Build subgraphs - Implement shader keywords - Handle multi-pass rendering ### Material System - Generate materials from graphs - Expose material properties - Handle texture sampling - Implement triplanar mapping ## Prerequisites - Unity 2021.3+ - Shader Graph package - URP or HDRP project ## Usage Patterns ### Common Node Patterns ``` Dissolve Effect: Noise → Step → Alpha Clip Threshold → Alpha Rim Lighting: Fresnel Effect → Multiply → Add Emission Scrolling UV: Time → Multiply → Add UV → Sample Texture Vertex Animation: Noise → Position Offset → Position ``` ### Custom Function Node ```hlsl // Custom HLSL fu

What does the unity-shader-graph skill do?
Unity Shader Graph skill for visual shader authoring, custom nodes, and material effects.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill unity-shader-graph --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
