  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Besty0728 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Unity Timeline AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Besty0728/Unity-Skills/tree/main/SkillsForUnity/unity-skills~/skills/timeline
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Unity Timeline in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Unity Timeline on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Unity Timeline is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Before calling any skill in this module: if you are about to call a skill with parameters guessed from its name or description, STOP — read this file (or fetch its schema via GET /skills/recommend?includeSchema=true) first. If you already have the parameter definitions from recommend/schema, you may proceed straight to dryRun.

Timeline Skills

Create and modify Unity Timeline assets — add typed tracks, drop clips on tracks, bind objects, set duration / wrap mode, and play/pause/stop the editor preview through the PlayableDirector.

Operating Mode

  • Approval:查询类 skill(timeline_list_tracks,源码标 SkillMode.SemiAuto)直接执行;其余变更/播放类(timeline_create / add_*_track / timeline_add_clip / timeline_set_duration / timeline_play / timeline_set_binding,标 SkillMode.FullAuto)需用户 grant,grant 后服务端一步执行返结果。
  • Auto / Bypass:未被禁列表拦截的 skill 直接执行。
  • 本模块含 Delete 类 skill:timeline_remove_track 标记为 SkillOperation.Delete,被 IsForbiddenInSemi 静态拦截 —— 仅 Bypass 模式或加入 Allowlist 才能调用。
  • timeline_play 仅驱动 Editor 预览(PlayableDirector.Evaluate / Play 在编辑器上下文),不会进入 Play mode。

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

  • timeline_create_animation / timeline_add_track do not exist → use the typed track skills: timeline_add_animation_track, timeline_add_audio_track, timeline_add_activation_track, timeline_add_control_track, timeline_add_signal_track
  • timeline_add_keyframe does not exist → Timeline uses clips, not direct keyframes; use timeline_add_clip
  • timeline_set_duration sets the Timeline asset duration, not individual clip duration

Routing:

  • For Animator parameters/states → use animator module
  • For runtime animation playback → use editor_play or write C# via script module

Frequently asked questions

What does the Unity Timeline AI skill do?

Edit Unity Timeline assets and tracks

Why use Unity Timeline on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Unity Timeline is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Unity Timeline in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Besty0728/Unity-Skills/tree/main/SkillsForUnity/unity-skills~/skills/timeline. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Unity Timeline?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Unity Timeline?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Unity Timeline with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Unity Timeline AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Besty0728 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
