At a glance

Turn a topic, brainstorm, or document into a structured mind map.

  • Asked to brainstorm around a theme
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Format, Mermaid Rules (so it renders) and Quality Checks, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Break a topic into branches

What it does

Mind Map is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams and Brainstorming. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to brainstorm around a theme
  • Break a topic into branches
  • Summarize something as a mind map

Example prompts

  • “/mind-map”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).

    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

Mind Map loads about 710 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~710

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
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.

Mind Map Skill

A mind map turns a fuzzy topic into a branching structure you can see — central idea in the middle, themes radiating out, details hanging off each. This skill takes a topic, a brain-dump, or a document and organizes it into a clean Mermaid mindmap with sensible, balanced branches.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • 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.

Output Format

[Topic] — mind map

One line on how you structured it (the organizing principle for the main branches).

mermaid
mindmap
  root((Central topic))
    Theme A
      Idea A1
      Idea A2
    Theme B
      Idea B1
      Idea B2
    Theme C
      Idea C1

Structure note — why these main branches, and anything that didn't fit (parked items).

Mermaid Rules (so it renders)

  • Start with mindmap. The center is root((Text)).
  • Hierarchy is expressed purely by indentation — each deeper level is indented further. Be consistent.
  • Keep node text short (a few words); no markdown, parentheses, or special characters inside nodes (except the root(( ))).
  • Aim for balanced branches — not one giant branch and three stubs.

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
  • The Mermaid block renders without edits

Anti-Patterns

  • 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

Based On

Mind-mapping practice (radial hierarchy, balanced branches, MECE-ish themes), expressed as renderable Mermaid.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Organize ideas."
  • "Break a topic into branches."
  • "Summarize something as a mind map."
