🧠 Mind Map Generator — Claude Skill

A Claude skill that generates interactive, visually polished mind maps from any content — text, documents, conversations, topics, brainstorms, or ideas.

What It Does

Feed it any content and it produces a React artifact with:

• Radial mind map with semantic grouping (related branches sit adjacent)
• Interactive controls: pan, zoom, collapse/expand, focus mode, fullscreen
• Content intelligence: contradiction detection (⚡), gap analysis (❓), cross-branch links, frequency weighting
• Progressive disclosure: toggle between keyword-only map view and full detail reading mode
• Hover tooltips with expanded context for compressed labels
• Source attribution with clickable 🔗 links on individual nodes and a footer reference list
• 4 color palettes switchable at runtime via 🎨 selector
• 7 export formats: SVG, PNG, PDF, Markdown, Mermaid, embeddable HTML
• Conversational editing: add, remove, move, rename, merge, split nodes through natural language — no full regeneration needed
• Adaptive layout: auto-selects radial, semi-circular, top-down tree, or left-to-right flow based on content shape — or override manually
• Knowledge Atlas: one private published page that stores every map in a database, links maps by shared concepts, and opens any map at #slug — Claude writes maps into it directly, so no rendering code is generated
• Markmap download: every map has a ⬇ .md button that exports a portable Markmap file, built in code with no extra model call
• Dual output: React artifact (default) for interactive exploration in Claude, or Markmap .md for portable use in VS Code, browsers, and markmap.js.org
• Deep mode: say --deep on complex documents — generates three competing structures, scores them on six dimensions, and synthesizes the strongest one
