# Generate Mind Maps

Mind maps take a central concept and branch it into related subtopics, creating a visual hierarchy that mirrors how we naturally organize ideas. They are used for brainstorming sessions, project planning, note-taking, content outlines, and knowledge organization -- anywhere you need to see how ideas connect and nest.

The generate_diagram skill creates mind maps from a description of your topic and its subtopics. Describe the central theme and the branches you want, and the AI produces a properly balanced mind map with clear visual hierarchy. It handles multiple levels of nesting, cross-links between branches, and grouping of related concepts.

Content strategists use mind maps to plan content calendars and topic clusters. Product managers use them to map feature requirements and dependencies. Students use them to organize study material. Project leads use them to break down complex initiatives into workstreams. The visual format makes it easy to spot gaps, identify connections, and communicate structure to others.
