# treeseed

A skill for operating a TreeSeed control plane through MCP: projects, knowledge, governance and execution work. Useful when a task targets TreeSeed records or governed project-agent chat.

## What it does

The skill treats the connected TreeSeed server as the authority for identity, access, governance, scheduling and receipts. Before picking an operation, the agent has to discover the server's current MCP tools, resources, templates, prompts, schemas and capability annotations. A remembered tool list or a hand-built REST path is off the table.

Five references carry the detail: `references/knowledge.md` for questions and TreeDX projections, `references/governance.md` for proposals and decisions, `references/projects.md` for teams and provider bindings, `references/execution.md` for agents and project-agent chat, `references/mcp.md` for connection discovery and errors. The boundary is explicit — this is not authority to run agents or mutate repositories. Calls to `save`, `stage` and `release` stay blocked until the server advertises them as accepted governed operations.

Install and update run through the Vercel Labs Skills CLI at the version pinned by the consuming project. Credentials, session material, private keys and bearer tokens must never land in tool arguments or model-visible content. An `input_required` response is a signed confirmation checkpoint with exact arguments: ask the human when it appears, and never alter or reuse that confirmation state.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add treeseed-ai/skill --skill treeseed -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/treeseed/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/treeseed/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add treeseed-ai/skill --skill treeseed -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/treeseed/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add treeseed-ai/skill --skill treeseed -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/treeseed/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install treeseed-ai/skill treeseed
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/treeseed/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add treeseed-ai/skill --skill treeseed -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/treeseed-ai/skill
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/treeseed/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add treeseed-ai/skill --skill treeseed -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- discover the server's current MCP tools instead of guessing
- read project state before a consequential mutation
- move a proposal or decision through governance
- pull team, repository and provider bindings
- follow asynchronous work via `treeseed://` resource links

## Example prompts
- list the current MCP capabilities of the TreeSeed server
- read the project state before you change anything
- open `references/governance.md` and walk this proposal through

# TreeSeed

Treat the connected TreeSeed server as the authority for identity, access, governance, scheduling, and receipts. Discover its current MCP tools, resources, templates, prompts, schemas, and capability annotations before choosing an operation. Do not rely on a remembered tool list or construct REST paths.

## Operating boundary

- Act as the authenticated external principal. Do not claim project-agent identity unless an explicit, authorized project-agent chat operation returns that delegation.
- Read current state before a consequential mutation. Follow returned blockers, concurrency tokens, confirmation requests, resource links, and next actions.
- Use server-provided structured input and output schemas. Never place credentials, session material, private keys, or bearer tokens in tool arguments or model-visible content.
- Treat `input_required` as a signed, exact-argument confirmation checkpoint. Ask the human when required; never alter, reuse, or synthesize confirmation state.
- Follow durable `treeseed://` resource links for asynchronous work. Use progress, cancellation, completion, and subscriptions when advertised instead of polling invented endpoints.
- Do not invoke or emulate `save`, `stage`, or `release` until the server advertises their accepted governed operations.
- For repository-backed project knowledge, use the `trsd library` workflow in `references/knowledge.md`; never assume an unbound virtual repository or a `src/content` library root.

## Choose the relevant guidance

- For questions, research, knowledge, or TreeDX projections, read [references/knowledge.md](references/knowledge.md).
- For proposals, decisions, estimates, reviews, or discussions, read [references/governance.md](references/governance.md).
- For teams, projects, repositories, or provider bindings, read [references/projects.md](references/projects.md).
- For agents, providers, capacity, plans, workdays, assignments, or explicit project-agent chat, read [references/execution.md](references/execution.md).
- For connection discovery, protocol behavior, errors, subscriptions, or confirmations, read [references/mcp.md](references/mcp.md).
