tiling-tree SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
tiling-tree from oaustegard/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/tiling-tree@v1.1.1Pins v1.1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Exhaustive problem space exploration using the MIT Synthetic Neurobiology "tiling tree" method. Partitions a problem into MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) subsets recursively via parallel subagents, then evaluates leaf ideas against specified criteria. Use when users say "tiling tree", "tile the solution space", "exhaustively explore approaches to", "what are all the ways to", or request a MECE breakdown of a problem. Requires orchestrating-chat-agents skill.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Tiling Tree Implements the MIT Synthetic Neurobiology tiling tree method: recursively partition a problem space into non-overlapping, collectively exhaustive subsets until reaching actionable leaf ideas, then evaluate those leaves. ## Core Concept The method's power comes from MECE splits forcing exploration of unfamiliar territory. A split is only valid when you can state precisely what each branch **excludes** — if you can't, the criterion is too vague and branches will overlap. Key insight from the source method: always look for the "third option" that falls outside an obvious binary split. The bloodstream-secretion approach to neural recording only emerged because "wired vs. wireless" was defined precisely enough to reveal it covered neither case. ## When to Use - "What are all the ways we could solve X?" - "Apply the tiling tree method to Y" - "Exhaustively map the solution space for Z" - Any request for MECE decomposition of a problem domain ## Setup Requires `orchestrating-chat-agents` skill to be installed. Load it first: ```python import sys sys.path.insert(0, '/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-chat-agents/scripts') …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/tiling-tree@sha256:563fb67ac6d6dfe5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
