tree

# tree — universal radial-tree exploration engine > **What this skill is.** A single engine implementing recursive > radial-tree exploration (root → 12-framing expansion → per-node > 12-field derivation → score → recurse on high-verdict leaves → > terminate on **substantive convergence**). What varies between > use-cases (brainstorm vs critique vs design vs code-audit) is the > baseline recipe, node schema, scoring dimensions, and verdict > vocabulary — all parameterized via a **preset** file. > **What this skill is NOT.** Not a one-shot LLM call that returns a > bulleted list. Not a chat interface — once `/cc-tree:tree` is > invoked, the engine runs to convergence without further prompts. > Not bundled with a model — pure prompt-engineering on top of Claude > Code's existing model setting. The full engine specification lives in [`docs/ENGINE.md`](../../docs/ENGINE.md). This SKILL.md is a 7-step navigation guide; **Read `docs/ENGINE.md` before producing the first node** (the engine spec is what defines "valid" for everything you'll write). --- ## 1. Invocation ``` /cc-tree:tree <root> --preset <name|path> [flags] ``` **`<root>`** is preset-typed: - `brainstorm` preset → topic string, e.g. `"ways to detect dark-matter substructure"` - `attack` preset → file path (`.md` / `.tex` / etc.) or quoted argument-text - `design` preset → design-prompt string or `.md` file path - `code-audit` preset → file path or directory path **`--preset`** is required: - Built-in: `brainstor...
