⚠ The author changed this skill after we tested it. The verdict below describes the version we ran on Jul 14, 2026; it's queued for a re-test.
Generated ROUTER.md files are pulled verbatim from router_template.md, whose literal headers ('你已到达 {module} 子树', '判断条件 | 下一跳') are Chinese — any tree this skill builds ships with hardcoded Chinese-language routing labels baked into the output artifact regardless of the target skill's language, which is real friction for an English-only shop that would need a manual translation pass.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Skill Tree Generator does
Splits a monolithic Claude skill (or aggregates several) into a ROOT.md/ROUTER.md/SKILL.md hierarchy with load-on-demand routing, or incrementally adds a new skill into an existing tree. Triggers when a skill has grown too complex, when multiple related skills need a unified cross-domain router, or when an existing tree needs a new capability added; enforces verbatim content preservation and a mandatory validation + GENERATION-REPORT.md gate before it will call the job done.
How to install Skill Tree Generator
git clone https://github.com/maipianworni/SkillTree
cd SkillTree
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skill-tree-generator ~/.claude/skills/skill-tree-generator
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Skill Tree Generator skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from maipianworni/SkillTree. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Skill Tree Generator work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Generated ROUTER.md files are pulled verbatim from router_template.md, whose literal headers ('你已到达 {module} 子树', '判断条件 | 下一跳') are Chinese — any tree this skill builds ships with hardcoded Chinese-language routing labels baked into the output artifact regardless of the target skill's language, which is real friction for an English-only shop that would need a manual translation pass.
- What is the Skill Tree Generator SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Skill Tree Generator?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Skill Tree Generator with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
