Unity Animator Skills

Create Animator Controllers, add states, transitions and parameters, assign controllers to GameObjects, set parameters at runtime and play states. Parameters come from the schema (GET /skills/schema?category=Animator&wire=v2); execution and dryRun rules: root SKILL.md.

When to use

• Setting up or wiring an Animator
• Adjusting animation state machines
• Driving animation parameters at runtime

Rules

• Query skills (animator_get_parameters, animator_get_info, animator_list_states) are read-only and run under Approval; the writers and animator_play need a grant there.
• animator_set_parameter and animator_play act on the Animator of a scene GameObject. Outside Play Mode the state machine advances only in the editor's preview, which does not match runtime exactly.
• Triggers reset automatically after they fire.
• Set parameters before playing states, and create the controller before adding parameters.
• States must exist in the controller before animator_play can use them.
• animator_add_parameter applies only the default that matches paramType.
• For Timeline animation, use timeline; for Animator component properties, use component; for animation import settings, use importer.
