Unity Context Slicer

Unity Context Slicer is a graph-based context extraction engine and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for Unity projects. It parses C# scripts, Unity scenes (.unity), prefabs (.prefab), and .meta asset GUIDs into an in-memory knowledge graph. By slicing targeted $N$-hop neighborhoods around relevant components and compressing raw YAML/AST structures, it delivers 5–10× token reduction, producing compact context bundles optimized for local and cloud LLMs.

🔑 Key Features

• 🕸️ Graph-Based Project Indexing: Maps C# classes, methods, events, Unity GameObjects, MonoBehaviours, scenes, and prefabs into a unified directed graph.
• 💾 Project-Local Disk Graph Cache: Caches parsed project graphs to .unity_context_slicer/graph_cache.json for near-instant (< 15ms) startup across new chats, automatically invalidating when project files change.
• 🤖 Automated Agent Rule Provisioning: Automatically generates and maintains .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, .clinerules, and .gemini/rules.md in target Unity projects to ensure AI agents proactively use slicer tools in every chat session.
• ⚡ 5–10× Context Compression: Converts verbose scene YAML and code structures into dense, high-information text representations suited for restricted LLM context windows (e.g., 7B local models).
• 🎯 Focused Slicing: Extracts $N$-hop relational neighborhoods (unity_slice) or comprehensive class context cards (unity_class) including method callers, attached scene objects, and inheritance hierarchies.
• 🔄 Auto-Reloading Resident Session: Monitors file modification times (mtime) across project files to keep the graph up to date.
• 🔌 Built-in MCP Server: Exposes stdio-based MCP tools for direct integration with MCP clients such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, VS Code (Cline / Roo Code), and custom AI agents.
• 🆔 Unity GUID Resolution: Resolves .meta file GUIDs to bridge C# MonoBehaviours with serialized scene/prefab component references.

🛠️ Architecture & Pipeline

    A --> C["Meta GUID Resolver"]
    B --> D["Loader & In-Memory Graph"]

Pipeline Steps

1. Parsing & Resolution: C# AST analysis via Roslyn (ScannerCore.cs) combined with Python-native Unity scene/prefab parsing (unity_parser.py) and GUID resolution (meta_resolver.py).
2. Graph Construction: Builds a unified node/edge model in ProjectGraph indexed for bidirectional lookup.
3. Neighborhood Slicing: SubGraph algorithms isolate relevant subgraphs based on class, method, or GameObject seeds.
4. Dense Compression: Renders subgraphs into task-ready prompt context via compressor.py.

    }
  }
}

💡 Recommended Agent Rules (.cursorrules / .windsurfrules)

To help AI coding agents use Unity Context Slicer effectively, add this instruction to your project's rule file:

When answering questions or writing C#/Unity code:
1. Use `unity_search` to discover relevant classes, methods, or scene GameObjects.
2. Use `unity_class` to inspect MonoBehaviour callers, attached scene objects, and class inheritance.
3. Use `unity_bundle` before initiating large refactors to receive a compressed graph context bundle.
