What do I need to use Mind Map?

The central topic; The raw material; Depth / breadth; Purpose.

Is Mind Map free to use?

Yes — run it free in the browser playground (no API key needed for the sponsored trial, or bring any provider key), or install it into Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT and more via npx pm-claude-skills. MIT-licensed and open source.

Mind Map

Q: How do I know the Mind Map output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Main branches are genuinely distinct themes, not overlapping or arbitrary; Branches are reasonably balanced in depth — no single dominant limb; Indentation is consistent so the hierarchy renders correctly; Every item from the source material is placed or explicitly parked.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-06-29 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-visuals

Turn a topic, brainstorm, or document into a structured mind map. Use when asked to brainstorm around a theme, organize ideas, break a topic into branches, or summarize something as a mind map. Produces a ready-to-render Mermaid mindmap (renders live, exportable as PNG/SVG) plus a short note on the structure chosen.

What to give it

▸The central topic — the thing the map is about.

▸The raw material — ideas, notes, or a document to organize (or "generate the branches" if it's a fresh brainstorm).

▸Depth / breadth — roughly how many main branches, how deep to go.

▸Purpose — exploring options, summarizing, planning — so the branching matches the use.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Main branches are genuinely distinct themes, not overlapping or arbitrary

✓Branches are reasonably balanced in depth — no single dominant limb

✓Indentation is consistent so the hierarchy renders correctly

✓Every item from the source material is placed or explicitly parked

✓The Mermaid block renders without edits

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not produce a flat list dressed up as a map — there must be real hierarchy

Do not make one branch huge and the rest empty — balance the structure

Do not use long sentences as nodes — keep them to a few words

Do not break indentation — Mermaid mindmaps derive structure from it

Do not silently drop ideas from the source — place or park them
