What it does
Mindmap is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Generate mindmaps locally/offline with native HTML/CSS/JS (no external libraries); use when you need to parse Plain Text node structures or map LLM outputs into an on-device visualization.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `mindmap_audit_result_v2.json` and `references/streaming-implementation.md`).
It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
You need to parse Plain Text node structures
Map LLM outputs into an on-device visualization
Example prompts
“/mindmap”
Requirements
Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
1Create a Plain Text mindmap file (example: mindmap.txt)
2Open the renderer template
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Mindmap loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 813 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references· SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Generate mindmaps locally/offline with native HTML/CSS/JS (no external libraries); use when you need to parse Plain Text node structures or map LLM outputs into an on-device visualization.
You need to render mindmaps in offline, air-gapped, or internal-network environments where CDN access is unavailable.
You want a zero-dependency renderer using only native HTML/CSS/JS (no third-party visualization libraries).
You need to parse a Plain Text mindmap format into a node tree and render it locally.
You want to stream or incrementally update mindmap content (e.g., from LLM output) and visualize it in a browser.
You need a single-file HTML template that can be reused across projects with minimal integration overhead.
Key Features
Local mindmap rendering using a single HTML file: assets/local-mindmap/index.html.
Plain Text → node structure parsing (format and rules defined in the reference document).
Customizable parsing rules and layout parameters while keeping no external library dependencies.
Designed for streaming-friendly workflows (generate/parse/update content progressively).
Dependencies
Python: None (no required packages at present).
Runtime: Any modern web browser capable of running standard HTML/CSS/JS.
External JS/CSS libraries: None (by design).
Example Usage
The following example is a complete, runnable workflow that renders a mindmap locally using the provided single-file template.
Create a Plain Text mindmap file (example: mindmap.txt)

LLM streaming output
Output
Local HTML visualization
Open the renderer template
Open assets/local-mindmap/index.html in your browser.
Load/insert the Plain Text content
Follow the Plain Text format and loading instructions described in:
references/streaming-implementation.md
Note: If you add any Python scripts under scripts/ (e.g., to transform LLM output into the Plain Text format), invoke them consistently as:
bash
python scripts/<task_name>.py
Implementation Details
Rendering template: The renderer is implemented as a reusable single-file HTML template:
assets/local-mindmap/index.html
Data format: The mindmap structure is represented in a Plain Text specification:
See references/streaming-implementation.md for the exact format, examples, and constraints.
Parsing rules: The parser converts Plain Text into a hierarchical node tree. You may adjust:
indentation/marker rules (to match your input style),
node labeling rules (to sanitize or normalize text),
streaming/incremental update behavior (if applicable),
while preserving the no external dependency requirement.
Layout parameters: Layout and styling are controlled within the HTML/CSS/JS template. Tune spacing, alignment, and node styling as needed, referencing:
references/streaming-implementation.md
Script/config conventions (if you extend with scripts):
Put configuration constants at the top of each script (avoid excessive CLI flags).
If any Python packages are introduced, list them (with versions) in the Dependencies section above.
When Not to Use
Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
Required Inputs
A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.

Recommended Workflow
Validate the request against the skill boundary and confirm all required inputs are present.
Select the documented execution path and prefer the simplest supported command or procedure.
Produce the expected output using the documented file format, schema, or narrative structure.
Run a final validation pass for completeness, consistency, and safety before returning the result.
Deterministic Output Rules
Use the same section order for every supported request of this skill.
Keep output field names stable and do not rename documented keys across examples.
If a value is unavailable, emit an explicit placeholder instead of omitting the field.
Output Contract
Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting.
If a file is produced, prefer a deterministic output name such as mindmap_result.md unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.
Include a short validation summary describing what was checked, what assumptions were made, and any remaining limitations.
Validation and Safety Rules
Validate required inputs before execution and stop early when mandatory fields or files are missing.
Do not fabricate measurements, references, findings, or conclusions that are not supported by the provided source material.
Emit a clear warning when credentials, privacy constraints, safety boundaries, or unsupported requests affect the result.
Keep the output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times.
Failure Handling
If validation fails, explain the exact missing field, file, or parameter and show the minimum fix required.
If an external dependency or script fails, surface the command path, likely cause, and the next recovery step.
If partial output is returned, label it clearly and identify which checks could not be completed.
Completion Checklist
Confirm all required inputs were present and valid.
Confirm the supported execution path completed without unresolved errors.
Confirm the final deliverable matches the documented format exactly.
Confirm assumptions, limitations, and warnings are surfaced explicitly.
Quick Validation
Run this minimal verification path before full execution when possible:
text
No local script validation step is required for this skill.
Expected output format:
text
Result file: mindmap_result.md
Validation summary: PASS/FAIL with brief notes
Assumptions: explicit list if any

Can I use Mindmap in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill mindmap -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/mindmap, .gemini/skills/mindmap, .github/skills/mindmap and .opencode/skills/mindmap in your project.
What does Mindmap need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Mindmap needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Mindmap access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Mindmap safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Mindmap use?
Mindmap is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Mindmap use?
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 316 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
