unreal-engine-skills-for-claude-code-plugin

Use this skill when authoring or extending an Unreal Engine toolset, a class of static, AI-callable functions registered with `ToolsetRegistry` and exposed through the unreal-mcp server. Trigger when the user wants to add, expose, or register a new tool method, create a new toolset, or extend an existing one such as `BlueprintTools`, `StaticMeshTools`, `ObjectTools`, `LevelTools`, or `MaterialTools`. Concrete triggers: 'add a tool to X', 'expose this via MCP', 'register a function so Claude/the agent can call it', 'wire this into the toolset registry', 'create a new toolset for Y', 'add a Python toolset', 'make this AI-callable'; adding a `static` method to a `*Tools.cpp/.h/.py` file; editing files under a `Toolsets/` folder; designing tool parameters, return types, or struct schemas for a toolset. SKIP for: invoking existing tools at runtime (use unreal-mcp instead), authoring an Agent Skill (use unreal-skill), generic refactors that happen to touch a toolset file but don't add or redesign a tool, or unrelated uses of the word 'toolset'.

Use this skill to perform actions inside an Unreal Engine project via a live-editor MCP connection. Trigger when the user wants to change, query, or run something in their Unreal Engine project, not for conceptual or docs questions. Concrete triggers: spawn/move/duplicate/transform actors in a level, open a `.uproject`, add things around a PlayerStart, create or edit a Blueprint/Widget/Material/Niagara/Control Rig/Sequencer/Behavior Tree/GAS ability, read or write properties on actors (e.g. `bIsLocked` on `BP_DoorActor`), Live Coding recompile after editing C++ (`AActor`, `UMyComponent::Method`, `UPROPERTY`), or modify Static/Skeletal Mesh assets. Treat as Unreal context even without the word \"Unreal\": asset prefixes `BP_`, `WBP_`, `M_`, `MI_`, `NS_`, `CR_`, `SK_`, `SM_`, `ABP_`; UE C++ types/macros; `.uproject`; Content Browser; Outliner; PlayerStart; \"in my game\" plus UE signals. Skip for: pure conceptual/docs questions, Unity, Godot, or unrelated uses of \"blueprint\"/\"sequencer\"/\"widget\".

Use this skill when creating, editing, or reviewing an Unreal Engine Agent Skill, a named bundle of instructions registered with the unreal-mcp server (distinct from Claude Code's harness skills under `.claude/skills/`). Trigger when the user wants to add or change a skill that the in-editor agent will load. Concrete triggers: 'create a new Agent Skill', 'add a skill for X workflow', 'edit/update this skill', 'review my skill', 'make a Python skill class', 'create a skill UAsset', 'register a skill so Claude picks it up'; writing or editing a `SKILL.md` inside a UE plugin's `Skills/` or `Python/skills/` folder; defining a Python skill class registered with the skill registry; calling `CreateSkill`, `ListSkills`, or `GetSkills` MCP tools; designing a skill's name, description, or instruction body. SKIP for: authoring a toolset (use create-toolset), invoking an existing skill at runtime (use unreal-mcp), editing harness-level Claude Code skills under `.claude/skills/` or `~/.claude/skills/`, or generic uses of the word 'skill'.
