SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you transform brainstorming and complex topics into a structured mind map diagram, avoiding messy outlines and unclear decision documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hierarchical mind map generation: Produce multi-level maps starting from a root and expanding through deeper levels for decomposition (e.g., goals → KPIs → metrics).
  • Layout control: Use left/right branching and direction directives to create pros/cons comparisons, decision trees, or vertical study outlines.
  • Rich node styling: Apply per-node colors, reusable theme styles, and boxless/minimal nodes for emphasis and readability.
  • Rich content nodes: Embed multi-line block nodes and Creole-like formatting (including icons and inline colors) to add actionable notes.

Quick Start

Create a PlantUML diagram by writing a diagram fenced block that starts with @startmindmap, defines the root with * and children with /* (and optional left side and direction directives), and ends with @endmindmap.

Frequently Asked Questions about mindmap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a mind map diagram from PlantUML?▼

To generate a mind map diagram, write a PlantUML fenced code block starting with @startmindmap, define the root node with an asterisk, branch children using multiple asterisks for depth, and close with @endmindmap.

Can I create a pros and cons comparison using PlantUML mind maps?▼

Yes, you can create pros and cons comparisons by using left and right direction directives within the @startmindmap block, allowing branches to expand on opposite sides of the central root topic.

How do I add colors and custom styling to PlantUML mind map nodes?▼

You can style mind map nodes by applying per-node colors, defining reusable theme styles, and using boxless or minimal node formats within the PlantUML syntax to emphasize specific topics.

What is the syntax for topic decomposition in a PlantUML mind map?▼

Topic decomposition uses marker-based depth encoding where a single asterisk defines the root, and additional asterisks like ** or *** create hierarchical child nodes for multi-level breakdowns.

Can I embed multi-line text and inline formatting in PlantUML mind maps?▼

Yes, rich content nodes support multi-line block text and Creole-like formatting, enabling you to embed inline colors, actionable notes, and icons directly into the mind map nodes.

Do I need any external components to build decision trees with this PlantUML mind map approach?▼

No external components or dependencies are required to build decision trees, as the Skill processes hierarchical @startmindmap syntax directly to produce structured decision tree diagrams.
