Text to Mind Map Skill

This skill converts user-input text, Markdown files, or Txt files into mind map images.

Dependency Installation

# Using npm
npm install markmap-cli markmap-lib markmap-render puppeteer
# Using bun
bun install markmap-cli markmap-lib markmap-render puppeteer

Workflow

Input Content → text-to-markdown → markdown-to-html → html-to-image → Output Image
→ [If user uses openclaw, send the image to the user as a file]

Step 1: text-to-markdown

Use LLM to convert input content into mind map Markdown format according to the following rules:

Rule Specifications:

• Extract Core Content: Extract key points from broadcast scripts with high information density, concise and clear, without omitting important points
• Reduce Hallucinations: Generated content must come from the input broadcast script; do not fabricate, rewrite, exaggerate, flatter, omit, or produce hallucinations
• Strictly Follow Node Hierarchy: Only one root node, subsequent nodes progress by hierarchy levels
• Support All Basic Markdown Syntax: Bold, code, links, and LaTeX formulas can be embedded in node text
• Output Format Compliance: Strictly follow the format below; do not output any other extraneous content
• Use Appropriate Emoji: Use relevant emojis appropriately to enhance visual expression, but avoid excessive use
• Content Limit: Ensure output content is limited to 300 tokens
• Hierarchy Limit: Mind map generates maximum 4 levels (root node counts as level 1)

Output Format:

# Root Node (must have exactly one)
Level 2 Node
Level 3 Node
List items are also supported
Bold, code, link
$LaTeX formula$

Step 2: markdown-to-html

Use markmap command to convert Markdown to HTML:

markmap --offline --no-open --no-toolbar -o  

Step 3: html-to-image

Use html-to-image.js to convert HTML to image (default: jpg format):

node (or bun) scripts/html-to-image.js --auto-fit  

Parameter Specifications:

Execution Steps

• Read user-input text content or file path
• Call LLM to convert content into mind map Markdown format according to the rules above
• Save the generated Markdown to a temporary file (e.g., /tmp/mindmap.md)
• Execute markmap --offline --no-open --no-toolbar -o to generate HTML
• Execute node (or bun) scripts/html-to-image.js --auto-fit to generate PNG image
• Inform user of the output image path | If user uses openclaw, send the image to the user as a file

Input Types

• Directly input text content
• .md file path
• .txt file path

Output

• Generated mind map image file (default: PNG format)

Examples

Example 1:

• User Input: "How to learn React"
• Output: PNG image of React learning path mind map

Example 2:

• User Input: "Help me convert this markdown file to a mind map: /path/to/notes.md"
• Output: PNG image of mind map corresponding to notes.md content
