| name | ucp-references |
| description | Find references across the project with `ucp references` (find/index/check/find-strings) using native Rust indexing — read-only. Use when the user wants to find every place an asset, script, material, or prefab is referenced. For broad multi-surface Unity automation, use the unity-control-protocol skill instead. |
| homepage | https://github.com/mflRevan/unity-control-protocol |
| compatibility | Requires the `ucp` CLI and the UCP Bridge package in the target Unity project. Unity 2021.3+. |

UCP Reference Search
Focused micro-skill for the ucp references command surface of the
Unity Control Protocol (ucp) CLI. Always confirm the live surface with
ucp <cmd> --help and see the docs at https://unityctl.dev.
Examples
ucp references check
ucp references find --asset "Assets/Materials/Agent.mat" --detail summary
ucp references find --asset 933532a4fcc9baf4fa0491de14d08ed7
ucp references check Assets/Prefabs
ucp references find-strings --pattern "SCN_Menu"
ucp references find --asset "Assets/Prefabs/Enemy.prefab" --json --detail normal
When to use
Use to locate all references to an asset by path or GUID, verify references after a move/refactor, or find string-based references Unity will not migrate automatically.
When NOT to use (use the omni skill instead)
Native indexing needs Force Text serialization + Visible Meta Files and does not require a running editor; pass --approach bridge only as a fallback. Use --detail summary to avoid context bloat.
For broad, multi-surface Unity automation that spans several of these
command groups at once, use the unity-control-protocol omni skill instead
of this focused micro-skill.
