Render mindmaps directly from Claude Code. Claude writes the outline, calls the API in raw mode, and drops a polished PNG next to your prompt — no manual curl, no tokens pasted into chat.
The skill is a SKILL.md + a tiny shell script under ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/. When you ask Claude to visualize something, it picks a theme, writes structured markdown, and pipes it into the public /mindmaps/image endpoint in raw mode. The response is a PNG written to your working directory.
Claude writes the outline itself — headings and bullets — matching exactly what the user asked for.
No server-side AI. The renderer takes the markdown as-is, so image generation is faster, cheaper, and deterministic.
The API token is read from an environment variable — never pasted into the chat and never logged in history.
Business, logic, timeline, or freeform — Claude maps the content to one of the presets built into the skill.
One-time setup: download the two files into ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/ and export your API token.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/scripts curl -fsSL https://static.clipmind.tech/skills/mindmap/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/SKILL.md curl -fsSL https://static.clipmind.tech/skills/mindmap/scripts/render.sh \ -o ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/scripts/render.sh chmod +x ~/.claude/skills/mindmap/scripts/render.sh export CLIPMIND_API_TOKEN='<your api token>' export CLIPMIND_API_URL='https://api.clipmind.tech/public/mindmaps/image'
Any Claude Code session can trigger the skill. Example prompts:
> turn these notes into a mindmap: > - launch plan > - weeks 1-2: research > - weeks 3-4: design > - week 5: ship > visualize the decision tree for feature flagging > 把这些要点画成脑图，主题用 dark-ocean
