Grower Skill Tree Stripped String Skeleton

Overview

The capability-stripped-string-skeleton crate offers an efficient mechanism for representing and manipulating a simplified skill tree structure. This is implemented through a data structure, the StrippedStringSkeleton, which provides a lightweight abstraction for a complex skill model originating from the more extensive StringSkeleton. The primary utility of this crate is in its capacity to offer a stripped, yet fully coherent, representation of hierarchical skill trees, integrated with domain-specific decision logic.

Motivation

In scenarios where computational efficiency and simplified data representation are paramount, maintaining the full complexity of the StringSkeleton can be excessive. However, inter-references to the full structure remain critical during deep operations. Consequently, the StrippedStringSkeleton offers a bare scaffold that maps exactly to the StringSkeleton, preserving all essential relationships, minus the computationally intensive data.

Features

• Node Types: Enumerate the SkillTreeNodeKind like Dispatch, Aggregate, and LeafHolder to provide precise node categorizations within your skill model.
• Stripped Representation: The StrippedStringSkeleton structure maintains a flattened list of nodes, directly referencing children nodes via names, detailed by type and occurrence likelihood.
• Probabilistic Traversal: Embedded probabilistic fields help dictate traversal paths based on pre-defined domain knowledge, enhancing decision-making processes.
• Database Compatibility: The design supports simplified formatting into JSON structures for efficient serialization and data exchange.
• Auto-Promotion: The crate implements a helper function to automatically promote unreferenced nodes during transformations, ensuring data integrity and completeness in minimalist representations.

Usage Example

JSON Structure

Nodes in the StrippedStringSkeleton can be formatted in JSON as shown:

[
    {
        "name": "CoreModule",
        "kind": "Aggregate",
        "descriptor": "Collects baseline components essential for broad functionality.",
        "children": [
            {
                "name": "InitializationBlock",
                "optional": false,
                "probability": 1.0
            }
        ]
    }
]

Transformations

When transforming a StringSkeleton to a StrippedStringSkeleton, utilize the provided conversion functions to preserve critical node relationships and hierarchy while adopting a reduced memory footprint.

let skel: StringSkeleton = ...; // Initialize or fetch your complex structure
let stripped: StrippedStringSkeleton = StrippedStringSkeleton::from(&skel);  // Create a stripped version
