SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Central topics often need to be organized into visual hierarchies; this skill generates a structured mind map with an accompanying outline and per-branch keyword index to facilitate quick navigation and planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mermaid mindmap diagrams (5–8 main branches) with configurable depth
  • Synced nested outline and per-branch keyword index
  • Three operational modes: autonomous (topic-driven), transformation (from notes/transcript), expansion (extend partial maps)
  • Optional PNG export for sharing and reporting

Quick Start

Provide a central topic (and optional source material) to generate a mind map with an outline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Mermaid mind map from a central topic?

To generate a Mermaid mind map from a central topic, provide the topic to trigger autonomous mode, which creates a hierarchical diagram with 5–8 main branches, a nested outline, and a per-branch keyword index.

Can I convert existing notes or transcripts into a hierarchy mind map?

Yes, you can convert existing notes or transcripts into a hierarchy mind map using transformation mode, which processes your source material to output a structured Mermaid diagram and a synced nested outline.

How do I extend a partial mind map with more branches?

You can extend a partial mind map by using expansion mode, which adds 5–8 main branches and configurable depth to your existing structure while ensuring compliance with Mermaid mindmap syntax.

What is the best way to navigate a large Mermaid mindmap diagram?

The best way to navigate a large Mermaid mindmap diagram is to use the generated per-branch keyword index and synced nested outline, which facilitate quick navigation and structured planning across the visual hierarchy.

Does this mind map generator support PNG export for sharing?

Yes, this mind map generator supports optional PNG export, allowing you to easily share the generated Mermaid mindmap diagrams and structured outlines for reporting and collaboration purposes.
