Unity Animator Skills

Control Unity's animation system - create controllers, manage parameters, and control playback.

Guardrails

Mode: Full-Auto required

DO NOT (common hallucinations):

animator_create_clip / animator_add_clip do not exist → AnimationClips are created via Unity Editor or asset import
animator_set_speed does not exist → use component_set_property on Animator component with propertyName="speed"

Routing:

For Timeline animation → use timeline module
For component properties on Animator → use component module
For animation import settings → use importer module
