Unity Shader Graph skill for visual shader authoring, custom nodes, and material effects.

General

What this skill does


# 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 function for Shader Graph
void MyCustomFunction_float(float3 In, out float3 Out)
{
    Out = In * 2.0;
}
```

## Best Practices

1. Use subgraphs for reusable patterns
2. Minimize texture samples
3. Use shader keywords for variants
4. Profile on target platforms
5. Document exposed properties

Included

Draws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
