Mindflow

Converts text, Markdown files, or Txt files into mind map images. Use this skill when users want to generate mind maps/brain maps from articles, broadcast scripts, notes, or any text content. Supports specifying output format and resolution. This skill should be triggered whenever text needs to be converted into image-based mind maps, regardless of whether users explicitly mention "mind map" or "思维导图"

Text to Mind Map Skill

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

Dependency Installation

npm install markmap-cli markmap-lib markmap-render puppeteer

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

Workflow

text

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:

markdown

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

Step 2: markdown-to-html

Use markmap command to convert Markdown to HTML:

bash

markmap --offline --no-open --no-toolbar -o <html_file> <markdown_file>

---

Step 3: html-to-image

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

bash

node (or bun) scripts/html-to-image.js --auto-fit <input-html> <output-image>

Parameter Specifications:

Parameter	Description
-t jpg	Output format is png (default)
--auto-fit	Auto-detect mindmap content size and adapt dimensions
input-html	Input HTML file path
output-image	Output image path

---

Execution Steps

1. Read user-input text content or file path
2. Call LLM to convert content into mind map Markdown format according to the rules above
3. Save the generated Markdown to a temporary file (e.g., /tmp/mindmap.md)
4. Execute markmap --offline --no-open --no-toolbar -o <html_file> <markdown_file> to generate HTML
5. Execute node (or bun) scripts/html-to-image.js --auto-fit <html_file> <output-image> to generate PNG image
6. 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)
