CLI Bridge for Unity

A CLI tool for automating Unity Editor via Named Pipes. Send commands from your terminal, scripts, or AI tools (like Claude).

Install

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oddgames/clibridge4unity/main/install.ps1 | iex

Then in your Unity project directory:

clibridge4unity SETUP

This installs the UPM package and generates a CLAUDE.md for AI-assisted development.

What AI Assistants Can Do

Compile, Execute & Analyze

clibridge4unity COMPILE --wait                  # Recompile, wait, report errors (exit code 1 on failure)
clibridge4unity CODE_EXEC "Debug.Log(42)"       # Run C# in Unity (fire-and-forget)
clibridge4unity CODE_EXEC_RETURN "return 1+1"   # Run C# and get the result back
clibridge4unity CODE_EXEC @script.cs            # Run a file (no command-line length limit)

Search & Navigate Code

clibridge4unity CODE_SEARCH "class:PlayerController"        # Find types, methods, fields, properties
clibridge4unity CODE_SEARCH "inherits:MonoBehaviour"         # Inheritance search
clibridge4unity CODE_SEARCH "refs:TakeDamage"                # Find usages across source files
clibridge4unity CODE_ANALYZE PlayerController                # Class overview: members, source, inheritance
clibridge4unity CODE_ANALYZE "PlayerController.TakeDamage"   # Member details, XML docs, callers

Inspect & Modify the Scene

clibridge4unity INSPECTOR Player                            # All components and fields
clibridge4unity COMPONENT_SET Player Transform position "(1,2,3)"
clibridge4unity SCENE                                       # Full hierarchy
clibridge4unity SCREENSHOT scene                            # Capture editor windows
