Bytesagain Mindmap

Generate ASCII mind maps from indented text outlines to visualize hierarchies and structures directly in the terminal or export as Markdown.

Security Scan

The skill's code and instructions match its stated purpose (rendering ASCII mind maps from indented text), request no credentials, perform no network activity, and do not require installation—appears internally consistent and proportionate.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (ASCII mind maps from indented outlines) matches the included script and SKILL.md. The files only provide a local renderer (bash wrapper + embedded Python) and no unrelated capabilities are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md commands (create, view, export) correspond directly to script behavior. The script only reads stdin or local files (or inline text), parses indentation, and prints output; it does not access other system paths, environment variables, or external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install specification — this is an instruction-only skill with an included script. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer; the risk surface is limited to running the provided script locally.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The SKILL.md notes runtime requirements (bash, python3) which the script legitimately needs; the script does not read other env vars or secret material.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not modify agent/system configuration or request persistent privileges. It runs on demand and does not attempt autonomous persistence.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and low risk: it contains a small bash wrapper that invokes an embedded Python renderer to print ASCII mind maps from local input. Before running, ensure you have bash and python3 installed, and review the script if you prefer (it contains no network calls or secret access). As with any third‑party script, avoid piping untrusted data that may contain sensitive content, and run it in a controlled environment if you are concerned about provenance.

mindmap

Text Mind Map Generator — Transform plain outlines and bullet lists into beautiful ASCII tree diagrams. Visualize your ideas, document structures, and hierarchies directly in the terminal.

Commands

Command	Description	Example
create	Generate ASCII mind map from text input	create "Project\n Frontend\n React\n Backend\n Node"
view	Read a text file and render as mind map	view outline.txt
export	Render and output as Markdown code block	export outline.txt

Usage

# From a string (use \n for newlines)
bash script.sh create "Root\n  Branch A\n    Leaf 1\n    Leaf 2\n  Branch B"

# From a file
bash script.sh view my-outline.txt

# Export as Markdown
bash script.sh export my-outline.txt > mindmap.md

# Pipe from stdin
cat outline.txt | bash script.sh view -

Input Format

Use indentation (spaces or tabs) to define hierarchy. The first non-empty line is the root node.
