+# Tree Command Implementation
+
+The `tree` command in rv provides a visual representation of the dependency tree for an R project, showing how packages depend on each other in a hierarchical format.
+
+## Location
+`src/cli/commands/tree.rs`
+
+## Core Data Structures
+
+### NodeKind
+```rust
+enum NodeKind {
+    Normal,  // Uses "├─" prefix
+    Last,    // Uses "└─" prefix  
+}
+```
+Controls the visual tree prefixes for proper ASCII art formatting.
+
+### TreeNode
+A comprehensive structure representing each package in the dependency tree:
+
+**Key Fields:**
+- `name`: Package name
+- `version`: Package version (if resolved)
+- `source`: Where the package comes from (lockfile, repository, git, etc.)
+- `package_type`: Binary vs source package type
+- `sys_deps`: System dependencies required by the package
+- `resolved`: Whether dependency resolution succeeded
+- `error`: Error message if resolution failed
+- `version_req`: Version requirement string if unresolved
+- `children`: Child dependencies
+- `ignored`: Whether package was ignored during resolution
+
+**Methods:**
+- `get_sys_deps()`: Formats system dependencies for display
+- `get_details()`: Creates detailed info string for each node
+- `print_recursive()`: Handles the recursive tree printing with proper indentation
+
+### Tree
+Contains the collection of root-level dependency nodes and provides the main print functionality.
+
+## Key Functions
+
+### `tree()`
+**Location:** `src/cli/commands/tree.rs:206-249`
+
+Main entry point that builds the complete dependency tree structure:
+
+1. Creates lookup maps for resolved and unresolved dependencies
+2. Iterates through top-level dependencies from config
+3. For each dependency, calls `recursive_finder()` to build the subtree
+4. Returns a `Tree` struct containing all root nodes
+
+### `recursive_finder()`
+**Location:** `src/cli/commands/tree.rs:124-177`
+
+Core recursive function that builds individual tree nodes:
+
+1. **Resolved Dependencies**: Creates detailed nodes with version, source, package type, and system dependencies
+2. **Unresolved Dependencies**: Creates error nodes with failure information
+3. **Recursion**: Processes all child dependencies by calling itself
+4. **System Dependencies**: Looks up system requirements from the context
+
+## Tree Visualization Features
+
+### ASCII Art Formatting
+- Uses Unicode box-drawing characters (`├─`, `└─`, `│`)
+- Proper indentation with `│ ` for continuation lines
+- `▶` symbol for root-level packages
+
+### Information Display
+For **resolved packages**:
+- Version number
+- Source (lockfile, repository, git, etc.)  
+- Package type (binary/source)
+- System dependencies (if any)
+- "ignored" status for packages that were skipped
+
+For **unresolved packages**:
+- "unresolved" status
+- Error message
+- Version requirement that failed
+
+### Depth Control
+- Supports `max_depth` parameter to limit tree traversal
+- Depth 1 = only root dependencies
+- Depth 2 = root + direct dependencies
+- No limit = full tree
+
+### System Dependencies
+- Shows required system packages (Ubuntu/Debian only)
+- Format: `(sys: package1, package2)`
+- Can be hidden with `hide_system_deps` flag
+
+## CLI Integration
+
+The tree command is integrated into main CLI at `src/main.rs:870-894`:
+
+```rust
+Command::Tree {
+    depth,
+    hide_system_deps, 
+    r_version,
+} => {
+    // Context setup and dependency resolution
+    let tree = tree(&context, &resolution.found, &resolution.failed);
+
+    // Output formatting (JSON or text)
+    if output_format.is_json() {
+        println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&tree)?);
+    } else {
+        tree.print(depth, !hide_system_deps);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Example Output
+```
+▶ dplyr [version: 1.1.4, source: repository, type: binary]
+├─ R6 [version: 2.5.1, source: repository, type: binary]
+├─ cli [version: 3.6.2, source: repository, type: binary]
+│ └─ glue [version: 1.7.0, source: repository, type: binary]
+├─ generics [version: 0.1.3, source: repository, type: binary]
+├─ glue [version: 1.7.0, source: repository, type: binary]
+├─ lifecycle [version: 1.0.4, source: repository, type: binary]
+│ ├─ cli [version: 3.6.2, source: repository, type: binary]
+│ │ └─ glue [version: 1.7.0, source: repository, type: binary]
+│ ├─ glue [version: 1.7.0, source: repository, type: binary]
+│ └─ rlang [version: 1.1.4, source: repository, type: binary]
+```
+
+## JSON Output Support
+All tree structures implement `Serialize` for JSON output, enabling programmatic consumption of dependency tree data.
