Unity HDRP Skill
High Definition Render Pipeline configuration for high-fidelity graphics in Unity.
Overview
This skill provides capabilities for configuring and extending Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline, enabling ray tracing, volumetric effects, and AAA-quality graphics.
Capabilities
Pipeline Configuration
- Configure HDRP Asset quality settings
- Set up frame settings and render features
- Manage diffusion profiles and materials
- Configure volume framework
Ray Tracing
- Enable ray-traced reflections and GI
- Configure ray-traced ambient occlusion
- Set up ray-traced shadows
- Implement path tracing for offline rendering
Volumetric Effects
- Configure volumetric fog and lighting
- Set up atmospheric scattering
- Implement volumetric clouds
- Create god ray effects
Material System
- Create HDRP Lit materials
- Configure subsurface scattering
- Set up fabric and hair shaders
- Implement decal projectors
Lighting
- Configure physical light units
- Set up area lights and line lights
- Implement sky systems
- Configure reflection probes
Prerequisites
- Unity 2021.3+ with HDRP package
- DirectX 12 / Vulkan capable hardware
- For ray tracing: RTX 2000+ or equivalent
Usage Patterns
HDRP Material Setup
// Configure HDRP Lit material
var material = new Material(Shader.Find("HDRP/Lit"));
material.SetFloat("_Metallic", 0.8f);
material.SetFloat("_Smoothness", 0.9f);
material.EnableKeyword("_NORMALMAP");
Volume Configuration
1. Create Volume (Global or Local)
2. Add Volume Profile
3. Add overrides (Fog, Exposure, etc.)
4. Configure priority and blend distance
Best Practices
- Use physical light units for realistic lighting
- Profile ray tracing performance early
- Create LOD settings for volumetric effects
- Use HDRP Wizard for project setup
- Test on target hardware frequently

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
