How to control transition and skew during CTS?

Q: "How to control transition and skew during CTS?"

"oTransition Time (Slew):\nSet a max_transition constraint. tool will automatically insert buffers as needed to ensure no segment of the clock tree exceeds this targeted trans limit. Skew: Set a target skew limit. tool will use this as a target for balancing. Clock mesh or multi tap CTS instead of a conventional tree, or building a well-balanced H-tree, can control skew. Using NDRs with wider wires reduces RC variation, which helps minimize skew. "
