XMind Generator

Generate .xmind files from Markdown outlines or plain text using the XMind SDK.

Script

scripts/generate_xmind.js — main generator. Requires Node.js and the xmind npm package.

Installation

Install dependencies before first use:

cd <skill_dir>
npm install

Usage

# From Markdown outline file
node scripts/generate_xmind.js --input outline.md --output /path/to/output.xmind

# From inline text (use \n for newlines)
node scripts/generate_xmind.js --text "# Root\n- Branch 1\n  - Leaf\n- Branch 2" --output output.xmind

# From stdin
echo "..." | node scripts/generate_xmind.js --output output.xmind

Always run from the skill directory:

cd <skill_dir>

Default output location: the OpenClaw workspace directory.

Input Format

Both formats are supported:

Markdown outline:

# Root Topic
- Main Branch 1
  - Sub topic 1
  - Sub topic 2
- Main Branch 2
  - Sub topic 3
    - Leaf node

Plain text / free-form description: When user provides a description instead of an outline, first convert it to Markdown outline structure, then pass to the script.

Workflow

If user provides a Markdown outline → pass directly to script via --text or --input
If user provides a plain text description → convert to Markdown outline first, then generate
Output file goes to workspace directory unless user specifies otherwise
Confirm the output path to the user after generation
