# Unity GameObject Skills

> **BATCH-FIRST**: Use `*_batch` skills when operating on 2+ objects to reduce API calls from N to 1.

## Guardrails

**Mode**: Full-Auto required

**DO NOT** (common hallucinations):
- `gameobject_move` / `gameobject_rotate` / `gameobject_set_scale` do not exist → use `gameobject_set_transform` (handles position, rotation, and scale together)
- `gameobject_set_position` does not exist → use `gameobject_set_transform` with `posX/posY/posZ`
- `gameobject_add_component` does not exist → use `component_add` (component module)
- `gameobject_get_transform` does not exist → use `gameobject_get_info` (returns position/rotation/scale)

**Routing**:
- To add/remove components → use `component` module
- To set material/color → use `material` module
- To search objects by name/tag/component → `gameobject_find` (this module) or `scene_find_objects` (scene module, Semi-Auto)

> **Object Targeting**: All single-object skills accept three identifiers: `name` (string), `instanceId` (int, preferred for precision), `path` (string, hierarchy path like "Parent/Child"). Provide at least one. When only `name` is shown in a parameter table, `instanceId` and `path` are also accepted.

## Skills Overview

| Single Object | Batch Version | Use Batch When |
|---------------|---------------|----------------|
| `gameobject_create` | `gameobject_create_batch` | Creating 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_delete` | `gameobject_delete_batch` | Deleting 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_duplicate` | `gameobject_duplicate_batch` | Duplicating 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_rename` | `gameobject_rename_batch` | Renaming 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_set_transform` | `gameobject_set_transform_batch` | Moving 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_set_active` | `gameobject_set_active_batch` | Toggling 2+ objects |
| `gameobject_set_parent` | `gameobject_set_parent_batch` | Parenting 2+ objects |
| - | `gameobject_set_layer_batch` | Setting layer on 2+ objects |
| - | `gameobject_set_tag_batch` | Setting tag on 2+ objects |

**Query Skills** (no batch needed):
- `gameobject_find` - Find objects by name/tag/layer/component
- `gameobject_get_info` - Get detailed object information

## Example: Efficient Scene Setup

```python
import unity_skills

# BAD: 6 API calls
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_create", name="Floor", primitiveType="Plane")
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_create", name="Wall1", primitiveType="Cube")
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_create", name="Wall2", primitiveType="Cube")
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_set_transform", name="Wall1", posX=-5, scaleY=3)
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_set_transform", name="Wall2", posX=5, scaleY=3)
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_set_tag_batch", items=[{"name": "Wall1", "tag": "Wall"}, {"name": "Wall2", "tag": "Wall"}])

# GOOD: 3 API calls
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_create_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Floor", "primitiveType": "Plane"},
    {"name": "Wall1", "primitiveType": "Cube"},
    {"name": "Wall2", "primitiveType": "Cube"}
])
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_set_transform_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Wall1", "posX": -5, "scaleY": 3},
    {"name": "Wall2", "posX": 5, "scaleY": 3}
])
unity_skills.call_skill("gameobject_set_tag_batch", items=[
    {"name": "Wall1", "tag": "Wall"},
    {"name": "Wall2", "tag": "Wall"}
])
```
