SKILL.md was ~1,493 lines (~15.5k tokens) and loaded in full on every trigger, even for a narrow lookup like "install an editor". Split the command catalog (~78% of the doc) into grouped reference files that load lazily, keeping only the high-frequency core in SKILL.md. - SKILL.md (now ~311 lines / ~3.5k tokens): install/verify, global flags, env vars, exit codes, a compact command index table (preserves the full command surface + descriptions cheaply so nothing is "hidden"), and Common workflows. - references/: auth-license-cloud, editors-install, projects-templates, config-hub, build-run-test, diagnostics-maintenance, integration-advanced. Content preserved verbatim: all 32 command sections move unchanged; heading sets are identical and line accounting balances exactly (1,197 body lines + 7x8 header lines). Fixed the one cross-reference the split invalidated. No behavior change — purely per-trigger token/latency reduction for the common narrow-lookup case, following the repo's "move long reference material into separate files" guidance.

What
Splits the
unity-cliskill's command catalog into lazy-loaded reference files, keeping a leanSKILL.mdwith a command index.Stacked on #26 → #25. Merge those first; GitHub retargets this to
mainautomatically.Why
SKILL.mdwas ~1,493 lines (~15.5k tokens), and the## Commandscatalog alone was ~78% of it. That whole doc loads on every trigger — so "install an editor" also pulls in Android signing flags, the connected-editor pipeline, dev-only commands, MCP config, etc.Skills load progressively: the
SKILL.mdbody loads in full when triggered, but reference files load only when read. Moving the situational bulk into references cuts the per-trigger baseline for the common narrow-lookup case, and it compounds now thatnew-unity-projectdelegates intounity-cli.Result
SKILL.md: ~311 lines (~3.5k tokens) — install/verify, global flags, env vars, exit codes, a compact command index table, and Common workflows.references/(7 files):auth-license-cloud,editors-install,projects-templates,config-hub,build-run-test,diagnostics-maintenance,integration-advanced.The index table keeps the full command surface + one-line descriptions in-context cheaply, so the model never misses that a command exists — it just reads the one group file it needs for exact flags. This avoids the main downside of splitting (partial-view answers).
