I have a prefab with radius setting, which programatically controls circular area with some stuff. I want instances of this prefab to display a circle with this radius in editor for convenience. Instead of radius setting I can attach circle collider to get visual border and then read its radius at runtime, but this seems code smell (I will need to programmatically remove/disable it etc), and resource waste. Are there some good practices to implement things like this?

Found an answer myself. That's actually quite easy. There is some "Gizmos" stuff for things like that, and it's possible to just overload OnDrawGizmos (in a script attached to prefab) and use built-in function to draw circle in editor:
private void OnDrawGizmos()
{
UnityEditor.Handles.color = Color.yellow;
UnityEditor.Handles.DrawWireDisc(transform.position, Vector3.back, Radius);
}
