Unity Grok Build Plugin First Indie Skills Lab Worksheet 2026

If you searched unity grok build after the October 1, 2026 official plugin announce, you do not need another “install once, merge agent diffs to main tonight” thread. You need a fill-in worksheet that locks six decisions before Discord invents a studio-wide “we’re agent-native” changelog:

1. Unity 6+ lock — confirm Editor / project version before claiming the plugin
2. Disposable project — never first-install on the ship branch
3. CLI install — grok plugin install Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin --trust
4. One skill smoke — exercise one skill family (UI, 2D, URP, etc.) with a measurable change
5. Human review — PR / branch gate before any shared-repo merge
6. Decision latch — LAB_GROK, HOLD, or PAIR — refuse GROK_SHIP_PLAN

This URL is that worksheet. It is not the live Stop Quoting Unity Grok Build Plugin as Your Only Agent Ship Plan (refusal). It is not the live 12 free Grok Build skills tools listicle. It is not the Spark closed-beta Stop. Those own exclusivity CapEx, toolkit inventory, and partnership CapEx. This URL owns the first indie Grok Build Unity skills lab evening.

Why this matters now

On October 1, 2026, Unity published Official Unity Plugin for Grok Build Is Now Available: Grok Build becomes the third coding agent (with Claude Code and Codex) to carry Unity’s own engineering guidance. It gets the same 30+ skills covering UI Toolkit and uGUI, 2D and tilemaps, URP and Shader Graph, audio, navigation and physics, IAP and LevelPlay, multiplayer, web, and localization. Install is one command. Scope is Unity 6 and above. Skills are maintained from a single repository across three agents.

October 2026 is when studios either (a) open a disposable Unity 6 project, install on lab only, run one skill smoke, open a PR, and file a receipt, or (b) paste the install into production main, announce “Grok-only,” and rage when version mismatches and unreviewed diffs land. Without a worksheet, teams skip Unity 6 honesty, invent exclusivity, and confuse this with Spark waitlist CapEx.

Direct answer: Fill Sections A–F this week. Confirm Unity 6+. Use a disposable repo. Install. Smoke one skill. Review. Latch LAB_GROK, HOLD, or PAIR. Read the policy Stop if Discord is mid-GROK_SHIP_PLAN.

Who fills this worksheet

Time: 60–120 minutes first lab on a disposable project.
Honest limit: Unity’s plugin blog and Unity documentation are authorities. Do not invent skill names beyond the announced families. Agent output still needs human review.

Pasteable diligence line:

We are labbing the official Unity Plugin for Grok Build on a disposable Unity 6+ project with CLI install, one skill-family smoke, and a human-reviewed PR. We refuse GROK_SHIP_PLAN exclusivity. Production remains on our supported Editor/CI path.

Section A — Version + operator lock (fill in)

A-gate: If the ship project is still on Unity 2022 / 5.x / pre-6, latch HOLD on plugin claims and open the Stop before Discord invents “close enough.”

Section B — Disposable project honesty (fill in)

B-gate: First install on production main fails this worksheet. Clone or create a throwaway Unity 6 project.

Section C — CLI install (fill in)

C-gate: If CLI is missing, do not invent a GUI-only folklore path — document HOLD and budget CLI literacy, or stop.

Section D — One skill smoke (fill in)

Pick one skill family from Unity’s announced list. Do not claim all 30+ in one evening.

D-gate: “Installed plugin” without a measurable change is not a lab. Fail D if you only ran install.

Skill-family cheat sheet (pick one)

Section E — Human review + multi-agent note (fill in)

E-gate: If reviewer is blank or production main was merged, receipt is invalid. Shared skills across three agents means exclusivity fails — see the Stop.

Section F — Decision latch (fill in)

F-gate: You may not check GROK_SHIP_PLAN as a pass. Pair with PAIR or LAB_GROK only.

Gates G1–G8 (developer checklist)

All eight green before you paste “lab complete” in Discord.

CapEx four-liner (diligence zip cover)

1. Scope — free official Unity Plugin for Grok Build on a disposable Unity 6+ lab; assistive agent skills, not exclusive production CapEx.
2. Cost — engineer time for CLI install, skill smoke, and review — not a separate Unity SaaS fee for the plugin announce.
3. Evidence — Sections A–F filled + G1–G8 + receipt JSON + optional screenshots.
4. Owner — named tech lead who freezes “Grok-only ship plan” claims until the Stop honesty ladder also passes.

Beginner first path (60–90 minutes)

1. Confirm Unity 6+ on a new or cloned disposable project (Section A–B).
2. Open terminal; run the install command (Section C).
3. Pick one skill family; ask the agent for a tiny change (Section D).
4. Open a PR; get a human to glance at the diff (Section E).
5. Latch LAB_GROK or HOLD (Section F).
6. File the receipt. Stop. Do not announce exclusivity.

Common beginner mistakes:

• Installing on the live product repo first.
• Skipping Unity version check.
• Claiming “30+ skills mastered” after one evening.
• Merging without a reviewer.
• Using this worksheet as a substitute for the policy Stop.

Developer depth — failure taxonomy

Anti-patterns (reject in review)

• “Installed plugin — ship plan is Grok.”
• “Disposable is optional.”
• “Unity 6 later.”
• “No PR needed — skills are official.”
• “One evening = full skill coverage.”
• “This worksheet replaces the Stop.”
• “Merge to main to prove the lab.”

Worked example (fictional studio evening)

Studio North Gate ships on Unity 6.2. Lead wants “Grok Build tonight.”

1. Section A: Lab project northgate-grok-lab, Unity 6000.2.x, operator Ava, goal LAB_GROK.
2. Section B: Fresh clone; branch lab/grok-skills-smoke; confirmed not main.
3. Section C: Install succeeds at 19:10 local.
4. Section D: Skill family UI Toolkit — agent adds a lab-only button; Play Mode PASS.
5. Section E: PR #12 reviewed by Bea; Claude still allowed; exit: “peer agents remain valid.”
6. Section F: LAB_GROK latched; GROK_SHIP_PLAN refused.

Friday social post that said “we’re Grok-only” is deleted. Production milestone stays on Editor/CI.

Company diligence appendix

60–120 minute schedule

If install fails or Unity is pre-6, stop at HOLD — do not fake D–E.

Discord shortlist (paste)

Unity Grok Build skills lab:
1) Unity 6+ disposable project only
2) grok plugin install Unity-Technologies/unity-agent-plugin --trust
3) One skill family smoke (not all 30+)
4) Human PR review required
5) Decision: LAB_GROK / HOLD / PAIR
6) Refuse GROK_SHIP_PLAN — see policy Stop
7) Receipt: unity_grok_build_skills_lab_receipt_v1.json
Sources: unity.com/blog/unity-plugin-grok · docs.unity3d.com

How this worksheet pairs with the policy Stop

You can fail both: skip the Stop’s refusal and skip this lab’s disposable-project field. Fix as two artifacts — refusal receipt + lab receipt.

QA script (20 minutes after LAB_GROK)

1. Re-open lab project; confirm Unity 6+ string matches Section A.
2. Confirm branch is still not production main.
3. Re-run Play Mode on the skill-smoke scene.
4. Confirm PR remains reviewed / not force-pushed without review.
5. Confirm Discord has no “Grok-only ship plan” claim.
6. If anything drifted, flip decision to HOLD and re-file receipt.

Replace-production checklist (do before any “roll out”)

If any row is N, you are not rolling out — you are still in LAB_GROK / PAIR.

Night-of runbook (Discord says “just install on main”)

1. Freeze the claim. Paste: “Disposable Unity 6+ lab only — not production main.”
2. Open Section A–B. If version or disposable fields are blank, stop.
3. Offer this worksheet, not a merge.
4. If someone already installed on main: create a recovery branch, do not expand the blast radius, latch HOLD, and re-run the lab on a clone.
5. File the receipt the same hour. Empty operator fields are how tomorrow’s standup re-litigates the same install.

Quality ladder

Outsiders can cite the gate table when they need a fillable Grok Build skills lab — not a screenshot of the install command alone.

Receipt — unity_grok_build_skills_lab_receipt_v1.json

{
  "receipt_type": "unity_grok_build_skills_lab_receipt_v1",
  "operator": "",
  "lab_project": "",
  "unity_version": "",
  "unity_6_plus": false,
  "disposable_only": false,
  "plugin_install_success": false,
  "skill_family": "",
  "measurable_change": "",
  "smoke_pass": false,
  "human_reviewer": "",
  "multi_agent_exit": "",
  "decision": "LAB_GROK|HOLD|PAIR",
  "refused": ["GROK_SHIP_PLAN"],
  "timestamp_local": "",
  "notes": ""
}

decision: LAB_GROK with unity_6_plus: false, disposable_only: false, or empty human_reviewer is an invalid receipt.
