What is XMind Generator & Reader?
This skill leverages the xmind-generator-mcp server to bridge the gap between AI-generated outlines and professional mind mapping software. As part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, it allows users to convert complex PRDs, test plans, or meeting notes into structured .xmind files. It also provides the ability to ingest existing XMind documents, offering detailed summaries and Markdown exports to streamline information processing.
By integrating this skill, developers and project managers can move from brainstorming to visualization instantly. The skill handles the technical heavy lifting of Schema A JSON mapping and file system interactions, providing a seamless chat-first experience for anyone using Openclaw Skills to manage their knowledge base.
XMind Generator & Reader Use Cases
- Transforming a long product requirement document (PRD) into a visual hierarchy for stakeholders.
- Creating structured study guides or lesson plans from raw text notes or transcripts.
- Summarizing complex project mind maps to extract actionable items and identify gaps.
- Converting .xmind files into Markdown for documentation purposes using Openclaw Skills.
- Rapidly prototyping organizational charts or brainstorming sessions via simple chat commands.
How XMind Generator & Reader Works
- The user provides an outline or an existing .xmind file to the AI agent.
- For generation, the skill maps the text to a specific JSON schema including titles, labels, and markers.
- The agent calls the MCP server using mcporter via a stdio connection to execute the command.
- The generator creates the .xmind file at the specified path, defaulting to the Desktop if no path is provided.
- For reading, the skill parses the file structure and provides a comprehensive natural language summary before offering a Markdown export as a final step.
XMind Generator & Reader Setup
To use this skill within the Openclaw Skills framework, ensure you have mcporter and npx installed on your system. The skill invokes the MCP server dynamically.
# The skill utilizes npx to run the generator server
mcporter call --stdio "npx -y [email protected]" generate-mind-map --args '{...}'
XMind Generator & Reader Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill utilizes a structured JSON format to interface with the xmind-generator-mcp tool. This ensures that every Openclaw Skills interaction follows a predictable hierarchy.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| title | The root topic of the mind map |
| topics | An array of main branches containing titles and metadata |
| note | Optional detailed text used sparingly for long descriptions |
| labels | Array of strings for lightweight categorization (e.g., 'must-do') |
| markers | Visual icons added to topics (e.g., 'Arrow.refresh') |
| children | Recursive array of sub-topics for hierarchical depth |
XMind Generator & Reader Advanced Features
- Automatic language detection to match the user's input language for all generated topic titles.
- Intelligent filename sanitization that automatically replaces invalid characters to prevent file system errors.
- Support for XMind enrichment elements including markers, labels, and cross-branch relationships.
- Dual-mode operation for both generating new maps from scratch and summarizing existing ones within Openclaw Skills.
- Flexible output path management allowing for specific directory targeting or default desktop saving.
