## What it is
HierarchyDecorator is a lightweight Unity Editor plugin that enhances the Hierarchy window with headers, styles, component icons, tag/layer selectors, and breadcrumbs. Everything is optional and fully customizable, making scene structures easier to read and understand.

## Use cases
- show component icons in the Unity hierarchy
- add headers and styles to organize Unity scenes
- display tag and layer info in the hierarchy window
- make Unity scene structure easier to read
- customize the Unity editor hierarchy appearance
- replace plain Unity hierarchy with a richer editor view

## When to choose
- you use Unity 2018.4+ and want a free, MIT-licensed hierarchy enhancement
- you want component icons and headers without buying paid alternatives
- you need fully toggleable/customizable hierarchy features
- you want easy installation via UPM, OpenUPM, or git URL

## When to avoid
- you don't use Unity or work outside the Unity Editor
- you need features beyond hierarchy decoration like full scene management tools
- you require an engine-agnostic editor extension
