SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you transform brainstorming and complex topics into clear hierarchical mind maps, so you can think and plan with less confusion and more visual structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PlantUML mind map generation: Create diagrams from a simple marker-based hierarchy using @startmindmap syntax.
  • Bilateral layouts and direction control: Split content into left/right branches and enforce top-to-bottom or right-to-left layouts for readable structures.
  • Styling and rich node content: Apply inline colors, reusable themes via <style>, and multi-line nodes for study notes, decision trees, and project breakdowns.

Quick Start

Use the mindmap skill to generate a diagram by writing an @startmindmap block with a root node and nested branches, wrapped in a PlantUML code fence for rendering.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a hierarchical mind map using PlantUML?

To generate a hierarchical mind map, you write concise PlantUML syntax starting with @startmindmap and ending with @endmindmap, defining a root node and nested branches wrapped in a code fence for rendering.

Can I split my brainstorming topics into left and right branches?

Yes, you can split brainstorming topics into bilateral layouts by enforcing left/right splits or directional layouts like top-to-bottom and right-to-left for readable hierarchical structures.

How do I apply colors and styling to individual mind map nodes?

You can apply inline colors to individual nodes or define reusable themes using the <style> block within your PlantUML code to customize diagram styling for study notes or decision trees.

What is the correct syntax boundary for PlantUML mind map rendering?

Correct PlantUML mind map rendering requires proper diagram boundaries, specifically wrapping your code from @startmindmap to @endmindmap and validating the code fencing to ensure reliable output.

Can I create multi-line nodes for detailed study outlines?

Yes, you can create multi-line nodes to build detailed study outlines and project breakdowns, allowing richer content within your hierarchical mind map structure.
