This skill enables an AI coding assistant to generate fully interactive, zoomable HTML mind maps on your local machine. It intercepts the AI's idea, translates it to a structured Markdown representation, and compiles it locally using an included markmap-cli Node.js script.
- Standalone HTML Export: Beautiful, interactive mind maps contained entirely within a single
.htmlfile. - IDE Agnostic: Resulting maps can be opened in any web browser without needing specific VS Code extensions or an internet-dependent API.
- Auto-Cleanup: The AI scripts automatically generate intermediate Markdown, compile it to HTML, and clean up temporary files in one step.
- Node.js: Your machine must have Node.js and NPX installed. The included
./scripts/build_map.jsscript wraps around NPX to do the heavy lifting seamlessly.
🛡️ Privacy & Security Note: If your system doesn't have Node.js installed, the AI might prompt you to optionally run a start-skill.js wizard. This is directly included in this repository and its ONLY purpose is to run official OS package managers (winget, brew, apt-get) to install Node.js safely and transparently for you. There is no malware or telemetry included. You can inspect the source code of all /scripts/ before running them.
Ask the AI to "create a visual mindmap HTML about...". The AI will draft the mind mapping syntax, run the local compilation script, and provide you with an interactive file saved inside the diagrams/ folder.
