Markdown to XMind Converter Skill

Instructions

Use this skill when users need to convert markdown files with hierarchical bullet lists into XMind (.xmind) files.

Steps:

1. Check if Python 3 is available:

   Copypython --version
   

   If Python 3 is not installed, kindly inform the user: "This skill requires Python 3 to be installed on your system. Please install Python 3 and try again."

2. Run the included md2xmind script to convert markdown to XMind:

   Copypython ~/.claude/skills/md2xmind/references/md2xmind input.md output.xmind
   

   The command creates an XMind file from the markdown bullet structure.

   Available options:

   • --title TEXT: Set the title for the mind map (default: "Mind Map")

Input Format

The markdown file should contain hierarchical bullet lists using - markers:

Copy- Root Topic
  - Subtopic 1
    - Detail 1
    - Detail 2
  - Subtopic 2
- Another Root Topic
  - More content

Features

• Supports multiple root topics (creates wrapper if needed)
• Handles both space-based (2 spaces per level) and tab-based indentation
• Automatically removes hierarchical numbering (e.g., "1.2.3 Title" becomes "Title")
• Creates valid XMind files compatible with XMind applications
• Generates unique IDs for all topics
