Unity URP HDRP

Purpose

Choose and operate Unity render pipelines with clear platform, tooling, shader, and content implications.

Use When

• the project is choosing or changing URP/HDRP
• rendering complexity is increasing
• technical art needs stronger pipeline rules

Inputs

• platform targets
• visual goals
• shader requirements
• team capability

Process

1. justify the chosen render pipeline by product goals and hardware targets
2. document material, shader, lighting, and post-process constraints
3. identify migration risk before changing pipelines mid-project
4. profile representative content early
5. teach content creators the supported path

Outputs

• render pipeline decision
• content guardrails
• migration notes
• performance expectations

Quality Bar

• respects Unity lifecycle, serialization, and content authoring realities
• keeps editor/runtime/test boundaries clean
• prevents scene, prefab, and package complexity from becoming hidden architecture

Common Failure Modes

• inspector wiring being the only source of truth
• overusing MonoBehaviours or scene setup as architecture
• package or scene drift reaching release without review

Notes

• Keep this skill aligned with the relevant rules layer and current project documentation.
• If engine-specific constraints materially change the workflow, hand off to the matching engine skill or engine-specific reviewer.
