mindmap · Mind Maps
Mind map generator: renders a Markdown outline (heading levels + lists) into an interactive mind map HTML, with optional PNG export. For knowledge structures, content frameworks, SWOT analysis, and brainstorm organization.
The key step is organizing content into a clean outline first (2–4 levels, terse node labels) — outline quality decides map quality. The HTML version supports interactive expand/collapse and zoom for sharing or embedding; the PNG version is for direct image sharing.
Example invocation: "Turn this article's key points into a mind map."
Full brief
Positioning
mindmap is an "outline → mind map" renderer dedicated to hierarchical outline mind maps. Data charts belong to chart-visualization; infographics and flowcharts to infographic.
Core capabilities
- Markdown outline input:
#/##/###for levels,-lists for leaves — plug in a clean outline and go. - Interactive HTML: self-contained markmap single file; with network access it supports expand/collapse and zoom — good for sharing or embedding.
- PNG export: optional PNG via headless Chromium rendering, for direct image sharing.
- Outline distillation: organizing an article or topic into center → branches → points is done by the LLM — the decisive factor in map quality.
Workflow
- Organize content into a Markdown outline (2–4 levels, terse node labels)
- Render into mind map HTML
- (Optional) export PNG
Inputs & outputs
| Input | Notes |

Fit
- Visualizing knowledge structures and course outlines
- Presenting content frameworks and topic plans as maps
- Tree-style presentation of SWOT analyses and brainstorm results
Before you start
- Content must first become a clean Markdown outline; keep levels at 4 or fewer.
- HTML-only needs no extra dependencies; PNG export needs playwright + Chromium + network (markmap JS loads from CDN).
