Can I use this skill for in-game UI?

No, IMGUI is strictly intended for Unity Editor extensions and tools. For runtime game UI, you should use skills focused on uGUI or UI Toolkit.

What is the difference between GUILayout and EditorGUILayout in this skill?

The skill utilizes GUILayout for basic controls that work anywhere, and EditorGUILayout for rich, Unity-specific editor controls like PropertyFields and HelpBoxes.

Where should the generated scripts be stored?

Scripts generated by this skill must be placed inside an 'Editor' folder to ensure they are excluded from the final game build and do not cause compilation errors.

Does this skill support Unity's undo/redo system?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns using SerializedObject and SerializedProperty, which are essential for supporting Unity's undo/redo and prefab override systems.

Game Development

Automates the creation of custom Unity Editor windows and inspectors using the IMGUI framework.

About

This skill streamlines the development of Unity Editor extensions by providing patterns and automated workflows for IMGUI-based interfaces. It enables developers to rapidly build custom EditorWindows, property drawers, and specialized inspectors while ensuring best practices for editor-only code. By leveraging the Unity MCP server, it handles boilerplate generation, UI layout implementation, and proper integration with Unity's serialization system, making it ideal for creating internal productivity tools and complex data management utilities within the Unity environment.

Key Features

Automatic generation of EditorWindow and CustomEditor boilerplate classes
Streamlined SerializedProperty and SerializedObject handling for robust data binding
0 GitHub stars
Structured code injection for OnGUI and OnInspectorGUI lifecycle methods
Best-practice guidance for separating Editor logic from runtime game code
Implementation of complex IMGUI patterns including toolbars, scroll views, and foldouts

Use Cases

Building custom project browsers and asset management tools
Developing specialized inspectors for complex ScriptableObjects and components
Creating internal developer utilities like batch processors and scene validators
