ASCII Tree Explanations

Overview

Explain as an ASCII tree. The tree is the explanation, not decoration after paragraphs.

Core principle: show hierarchy, sequence, causes, risks, and recommendations through tree structure.

When to Use

Use for:

• Code walkthroughs, data flow, call chains, and API behavior
• Task plans, implementation plans, phased work, and checklists
• Architecture, dependencies, trade-offs, recommendations, and summaries
• Debugging findings, root causes, fixes, verification, and risks

Skip only when user asks for JSON, table, patch, exact command output, commit message, or a very short direct answer.
