# Unity CLI Plugin

Control Unity Editor from the command line. Built for AI agents, works with anything.

## What is unity-cli?

unity-cli is a single binary that talks directly to Unity via HTTP. No server to run, no config to write, no process to manage. Just type a command.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Check Unity connection
sc unity-cli editor status

# Enter play mode and wait
sc unity-cli editor play --wait

# Run C# code inside Unity
sc unity-cli exec code --code "return Application.dataPath;"

# Read console logs
sc unity-cli console read --type error
```

## Key Commands

- `sc unity-cli editor play --wait` - Enter play mode and wait for completion
- `sc unity-cli editor stop` - Stop play mode
- `sc unity-cli editor pause` - Toggle pause

### Console Logs

- `sc unity-cli console read --type error` - Read only errors
- `sc unity-cli console read --stacktrace user` - Include stack traces

### Execute C# Code
- `sc unity-cli exec code --code "return Application.dataPath;"` - Run C# code
- `sc unity-cli exec code --code "return World.All.Count;" --usings Unity.Entities` - With custom namespaces
