Mind Map Skill

Generate mind map images locally from Markdown content.

Invocation

Use this skill directly:

• /mind-map-skill free docs/plan.md
• /mind-map-skill center "# 项目\n## 模块\n- A\n- B"
• /mind-map-skill horizontal notes.md

Arguments are mapped as:

• $0: layout type (free, center, horizontal)
• $1: markdown file path or inline markdown text

If layout argument is missing, use free.

Execution steps

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS.
2. Resolve markdown input:
   • If $1 is a file path, read file content.
   • Otherwise treat $1 as inline markdown.
3. Run from repository root (D:\Work\skills\mind_map):

python mind-map-skill/scripts/run_mind_map.py --layout <layout> --input "<file-or-markdown>" --output-dir mind_map_output

By default, output files are grouped by date under mind_map_output/YYYY-MM-DD/. Use --flat-output to write directly into mind_map_output/.

4. Report:
   • selected layout
   • output PNG path
   • input markdown saved path (same dated folder)
   • node count and depth

Layout behavior

• center: radial structure (equivalent to mind_map_center capability)
• horizontal: left-to-right structure (equivalent to mind_map_horizontal capability)
• free: auto select based on complexity (equivalent to mind_map_free capability)

Auto rule in free mode:

• choose center when depth <= 4 and total_nodes <= 100
• otherwise choose horizontal

Supporting files

• Runtime engine: mind-map-skill/scripts/mind_map_generator.py
• Runner script: mind-map-skill/scripts/run_mind_map.py
• Example markdown: mind-map-skill/examples/sample.md
• Parameter schema (optional compatibility): mind-map-skill/skill.yaml
• Detailed reference: mind-map-skill/reference.md
• Usage examples: mind-map-skill/examples.md

Font behavior

• On first run, the skill attempts to download a CJK font to local cache: ~/.cache/mind-map-skill/chinese_font.ttc.
• Download source in repository: resources/chinese_font.ttc (not part of skill upload package).
• If download is unavailable, it falls back to prioritized system CJK fonts (Linux/macOS/Windows specific order).
