What this skill does
# Directory Tree Viewer A skill for generating visual representations of directory structures in various formats. Useful for understanding project layout, documenting folder organization, or visualizing file hierarchies. ## Features - Display directory trees with visual formatting - Support for custom paths via slash command - Ignore common build/dependency directories by default - Multiple output formats (text tree, indented, etc.) ## Prerequisites - No special dependencies required - Works with any directory on the system - The slash command `/tree` provides convenient path-based access ## Workflow ### Basic Usage: Current Working Directory When you need to see the structure of the current working directory, use the Bash tool with the `tree` command: ```bash tree -L 3 -a ``` This displays up to 3 levels of the directory structure with all files (including hidden ones). ### Advanced Usage: Custom Path via /tree Command Use the custom slash command `/tree` with a file path argument to view any directory: ``` /tree /path/to/directory ``` The slash command accepts optional arguments: - Path (required): The directory to visualize - Depth (optional): Number of levels to display (default: 3) ### Tree Command Options Common options when using the `tree` command directly: - `-L N`: Limit depth to N levels - `-a`: Show all files including hidden ones - `-I 'pattern'`: Ignore files matching pattern - `-d`: Directories only - `-h`: Human-readable file sizes ## Examples ### Example 1: View Plugin Directory Structure Display the structure of the current plugins directory: ```bash tree -L 2 plugins/ ``` Output shows all plugins and their first-level contents. ### Example 2: Use /tree Command with Custom Path Ask Claude to show the structure of a specific directory: > "Show me the structure of the src directory" Claude will invoke: `/tree src` ### Example 3: Deep Directory Exploration Explore nested structures with multiple levels: ```bash tree -L 5 -I 'node_modules|.git|dist' ``` This shows up to 5 levels while excluding common dependency/build directories. ### Example 4: File-Only Tree Display only files without directories: ```bash tree -f --dirsfirst ``` ## Troubleshooting **Tree command not available**: The `tree` command may not be installed on all systems. Use `ls -R` as a fallback: ```bash ls -R /path/to/directory ``` **Too much output**: Reduce depth with `-L 2` or filter with `-I 'pattern'` **Permission denied**: Some directories may require elevated permissions. Use `ls -la` instead. ## See Also - [Using Bash for file exploration](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/tools) - [Glob patterns for file matching](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/tools)
