PerfLint - Optimization for AI Agents

Use the AI agent you already work with to optimize your Unity project. Ask what is slowing a scene down, what is bloating the build, or which assets are wasting memory. PerfLint gives your agent local diagnostics, actionable findings and tools to apply supported changes.

Connect through Unity CLI/MCP, keep the Editor open, and work from your existing conversation. Review the evidence and proposed changes, approve the supported fixes, then check the results. Agent access requires Unity 6, Unity CLI and the Pipeline package. The standalone Editor tools also work on Unity 2021.3+.

FPS: FIND THE BOTTLENECK, THEN MEASURE AGAIN

Record a runtime sample in PerfLint's Editor panel, then ask your agent to inspect that scene's saved findings. Investigate frame-time spikes, GC allocations, CPU hotspots and rendering costs where the available profiling data supports them. Follow the affected scripts and assets, make a targeted change, and use Autopilot to compare a repeatable before/after workload.

Sampling and before/after measurements run in the Editor. The agent can read saved runtime findings; it does not start sampling through PerfLint's CLI. A clean compile or fewer findings does not prove a higher FPS. Verify the final performance on your target device.

BUILD SIZE: FIND WHAT YOU ARE SHIPPING TWICE

Inspect duplicate assets and implicit dependencies packed into multiple AssetBundles or Addressables bundles. Find Resources dependencies and other packaging waste. Ask for a build-size plan that separates supported automatic fixes from changes that need your review in the Editor.

A previous project reduced duplicate Addressables entries from 337 to 5, with total bundle size falling from 1.29 GB to about 805 MB. This is a measured project example, not a guaranteed result or an all-agent execution demo. Duplicate merges and Addressables regrouping use the Editor's guarded workflows.

MEMORY & ASSETS: TRIM THE CONTENT COST

Inspect texture, mesh and audio settings, compression problems and redundant content. Review the evidence for the open scene and the trade-offs before changing quality or behavior. With Pro, your agent can apply the supported deterministic import/project-setting fixes and re-scan. Items that need a decision stay in the plan for you to review.

CODE EDITS WITH UNITY COMPILATION CHECKS

For supported C# and shader edits submitted through PerfLint's verification tools, PerfLint backs up the file before writing, checks compilation and restores the original if compilation fails. Your agent must check the final verification status. This workflow is available on Free and Pro and uses your agent's own model, without spending PerfLint AI credits. Compilation checks do not replace gameplay or performance testing.

FREE AND PRO

Free: local scanning, all findings, optimization plans, shareable HTML reports, agent-authored code verification, and a daily allowance for the optional in-editor Explain / AI Fix helpers. No account is required to scan.

Pro: supported one-click and batch settings fixes, guarded duplicate-asset merge, the whole-file migration assistant, and a larger hosted AI allowance. Pro is an optional subscription on perflint.dev. This Asset Store package remains useful on its own for diagnosis and reports.

You can bring your own DeepSeek or Anthropic Claude API key on either plan. External agent subscriptions and model usage are separate from PerfLint credits.

LOCAL SCANNING, CLEAR AI BOUNDARIES

PerfLint's scan runs locally without uploading project code or art assets. When you connect an external agent, the requested findings, including paths and source locations where available, are returned to that agent. Any code it reads follows its own permissions and data policy.

The optional in-editor Explain / AI Fix helpers send the finding information or selected code disclosed in the interface to the configured provider. Hosted requests use PerfLint's proxy; a bring-your-own key connects directly to your provider.

Commit your project before applying changes. Import-setting fixes are restored through version control, not Edit > Undo.
