XMind Generator

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

Script

scripts/generate_xmind.js β€” main generator. Requires Node.js and the xmind npm package.

Installation

Install dependencies before first use:

cd 
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 

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

    1. If user provides a Markdown outline β†’ pass directly to script via --text or --input 2. If user provides a plain text description β†’ convert to Markdown outline first, then generate 3. Output file goes to workspace directory unless user specifies otherwise 4. Confirm the output path to the user after generation
