README

mindmap-markmap-viewer

A Claude Code skill that turns hierarchical Markdown into an **interactive SVG mind map** with [markmap.js](https://markmap.js.org/) — readable white-on-dark by default, with expand-by-level control and a search that filters the tree to matches **plus their ancestors and descendants** (so a hit always shows up in context, not floating alone). Works standalone or embedded in Streamlit.

**[▶ Live demo](https://jaderson-bit.github.io/mindmap-markmap-viewer/)** — an actual generated map, in your browser: pan, zoom, fold branches, export SVG/PNG. The page is one self-contained HTML file, exactly what the skill produces.

Try it in one line

No install needed — paste this into Claude (Claude Code or the app):

Using this skill https://github.com/Jaderson-bit/mindmap-markmap-viewer, create a mindmap of Product Management.

Claude clones the skill on the fly, follows its authoring rules (balanced branches, short labels), and hands back an interactive `.html` that opens offline plus the editable `.md` source of truth. Swap "Product Management" for anything you want mapped.

Why this exists

markmap renders a Markdown outline as a zoomable mind map, but three things need a layer on top to be genuinely usable:

  • Visibility — a white font is invisible on the white default surface; the renderer paints its own dark backdrop so the map is readable everywhere, not just in a dark host.
  • Expand control — collapse to N levels or expand everything, without rebuilding the map.
  • Search that keeps context — filtering to just the matching nodes loses the path that explains where a hit lives; this keeps ancestors and the matched subtree.

Features

  • One call to a single self-contained HTML file (`bui
