Unity UI System Selector

Unity UI System Selector is a skill for Claude Code from zsutxz/ClaudeLearning. It costs 27 tokens per session (716 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Unity UI System Selector, MIT.

A decision guide for choosing between Unity’s two interface systems: UGUI and UI Toolkit. It compares their trade-offs and gives implementation guidance for each.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a Unity UI framework, assess a migration, and decide whether UGUI or UI Toolkit fits menus, data-heavy interfaces, editor tools, or 3D world-space UI.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when starting a Unity project or moving an existing interface to a different system. It helps match the choice to Unity version, interface complexity, and project needs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Unity UI System Selector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Unity UI System Selector

Helps you choose the appropriate UI system for your Unity project and provides implementation guidance for both UGUI and UI Toolkit.

Two UI Systems

UGUI (Legacy) - GameObject-based (2014). Mature, works on all Unity versions, large community. Weaker: Complex UI performance, limited styling, no live reload.

UI Toolkit (Modern) - Retained mode, web-inspired UXML/USS (2021.2+). Better performance, live reload, data-binding. Weaker: Requires 2021.2+, smaller community, limited 3D world-space UI.

Decision Framework

Use UGUI if:

  • Unity < 2021.2
  • Simple UI (menus, HUD)
  • 3D world-space UI needed
  • Team knows UGUI well / tight deadline
  • Legacy project

Use UI Toolkit if:

  • Unity 2021.2+ and new project (future-proof)
  • Complex/data-driven UI (inventory, skill trees)
  • Editor tools (inspectors, windows) - strongly recommended
  • Web dev background (HTML/CSS)
  • Large-scale UI (MMO, strategy games)

When in doubt: For new projects on Unity 2021.2+, UI Toolkit is recommended.

Comparison

Feature UGUI UI Toolkit
Version 4.6+ 2021.2+
Performance Simple UIs All UIs
Styling Inspector CSS-like USS
Layout Manual/Groups Flexbox-like
Editor Tools Good Excellent
Runtime UI Excellent Good
3D World UI Excellent Limited

Migration

See migration-guide.md for UGUI → UI Toolkit migration strategy (3-4 months for medium projects).

UI System Support Matrix

Unity Version UGUI UI Toolkit (Editor) UI Toolkit (Runtime)
2019.4 LTS ✅ Full ✅ Basic ❌ No
2020.3 LTS ✅ Full ✅ Good ⚠️ Experimental
2021.3 LTS ✅ Full ✅ Excellent ✅ Production
2022.3 LTS+ ✅ Full ✅ Primary ✅ Full
