Maps show hierarchical relationships, cross-topic connections, priority levels, and Bloom's taxonomy distribution. Optimized for both quick overview and deep study. ## How This Skill Works 1. **User provides**: Subject, unit/topic, syllabus or notes, desired depth, output format 2. **System analyzes**: Concept hierarchy, relationships, dependencies, and importance 3. **System constructs**: Tree structure with central topic, main branches, sub-branches, and cross-links 4. **System renders**: In chosen format (Mermaid, text outline, or image description) ## 1. Mind Map Structure ``` [Central Topic] / | \ [Main Branch 1] [Main Branch 2] [Main Branch 3] / | \ | \ | [Sub] [Sub] [Sub] [Sub] [Sub] [Sub] | | | [Det] [Det] [Det] ``` ### Elements | Element | Visual | Purpose | | ------------------ | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Central Topic** | Center, largest node | The main subject of the map | | **Main Branch** | Directly from center, thick line | Major subtopics / units | | **Sub-Branch** | From main branch, thinner line | Individual concepts | | **Detail Node** | Leaf nodes, smallest | Specific facts, formulas, examples | | **Cross-Link** | Dashed line between branches | Inter-topic connections | | **Priority Badge** | Color/icon annotation | High (red) / Medium (yellow) / Low (green) | | **Bloom's Tag** | Label on node | R=Remember, U=Understand, Ap=Apply, An=Analyze, E=Evaluate, C=Create | ## 2. Output Formats ### Format 1 — Mermaid Mind Map (Recommended) ```mermaid mindmap root((Computer Networks)) ::id1 OSI Model 7 Layers Encapsulation ::icon(fa fa-star) TCP/IP Stack ::id2 Application Transport Internet Network Access Protocols TCP ::id3 Connection-oriented Flow control Congestion control UDP Connectionless Low latency Addressing MAC IP ::id4 Port ``` ### Format 2 — Indented Text Outline ``` Computer Networks |-- OSI Model (R) [HIGH] | |-- 7 Layers (R) | | |-- Physical (R) | | |-- Data Link (R) | | |-- Network (R) | | |-- Transport (R) [HIGH] | | |-- Session (R) | | |-- Presentation (R) | | |-- Application (R) | |-- Encapsulation (U) [HIGH] | |-- Peer-to-peer communication (U) |-- TCP/IP Stack (U) [HIGH] | |-- ... |-- Protocols (Ap) [HIGH] | |-- TCP (Ap) [HIGH] | | |-- Connection-oriented (U) | | |-- Flow control (U) | | |-- Congestion control (An) | |-- UDP (Ap) [MEDIUM] | |-- Connectionless (U) | |-- Low latency (U) |-- Addressing (U) [MEDIUM] |-- MAC (R) |-- IP (U) [HIGH] |-- Port (R) ``` ### Format 3 — Image Description For use with image generation or hand drawing: ``` Layout: Center-outward radial tree Central node: "Computer Networks" in a rounded rectangle Branch 1 (top-right): "OSI Model" in blue — 7 sub-branches for each layer Branch 2 (bottom-right): "TCP/IP Stack" in green — 4 sub-branches Branch 3 (top-left): "Protocols" in orange — TCP (highlighted), UDP Branch 4 (bottom-left): "Addressing" in purple — MAC, IP, Port nodes Cross-link: dashed line from OSI Transport to TCP, from TCP to Flow Control concept Priority: red highlight on TCP, IP, Encapsulation ``` ## 3. Color Coding Scheme | Element | Color | Meaning | | ------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | **Central** | Dark (black/blue) | Subject name | | **Main Branch** | Per-unit color | Unit identity | | **High Priority** | Red border/shade | Must know (PYQ frequency > 60%) | | **Medium Priority** | Yellow/amber border | Important (PYQ frequency 30-60%) | | **Low Priority** | Green border | Supplementary (PYQ frequency < 30%) | | **Cross-Link** | Purple dashed | Inter-topic relationship | | **Remember** | Blue tag | Factual recall | | **Understand** | Teal tag | Conceptual understanding | | **Apply** | Green tag | Procedure/application | | **Analyze** | Orange tag | Breaking down/compare | | **Evaluate** | Red tag | Judgment/justification | | **Create** | Purple tag | Synthesis/design | ## 4. Generation Strategies | Strategy | When | Map Style | | -------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | **Syllabus-Driven** | Full subject overview | Broad, hierarchical, all units | | **PYQ-Driven** | Pre-exam focus | Prioritized by question frequency | | **Deep Dive** | Single complex topic | Narrow, very deep, highly detailed | | **Compare-Contrast** | Related topics side-by-side | Dual-center with cross-links | | **Problem-Solution** | Numerical/conceptual problems | Flow-based, decision-path | | **Revision Map** | Last-minute review | Ultra-condensed, high-yield only | ## Session Config This skill integrates with the session config system (`deps/session-profile.json`). Before executing, check for an existing session profile: - If `deps/session-profile.json` exists, read `university`, `subject`, `pattern`, and `exam_type` fields to auto-configure the skill. - If the file does not exist, fall back to user-provided context or prompt the user to run `setup-exam-prompt` (or `npm run init`) first. - Session config eliminates redundant context detection — detection happens once and is reused across all skill calls. --- ## Error Handling | Situation | Action | | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Subject/topic too broad | Respond: "Topic too broad for a single mind map. Consider narrowing to one unit or chapter." | | Mermaid syntax generation failure | Fall back to indented text outline format and notify user | | Cross-link cycle detected | Simplify cross-links to avoid circular references in mind map | | Color scheme conflict | Apply default color scheme if user-specified colors conflict with priority/Bloom's mapping | | Accessibility description missing | Auto-generate: "Accessibility Description: A [type] diagram showing [subject]." | ## Quality Gate — Check Before Output - [ ] Central topic is clearly identified - [ ] All main branches are labeled and connected to central node - [ ] Priority annotations (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) present on all major nodes - [ ] Bloom's level tags applied to leaf nodes - [ ] Cross-links documented between related branches - [ ] Accessibility description included for screen reader support - [ ] Mermaid syntax validated before output (if Mermaid format selected) - [ ] At least one alternative format (text outline or image description) available ## 5. Integration with Other Skills | Skill | Integration | | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | **universal-session-config** | Reads university/subject/pattern from session profile | | **universal-notes-generator** | Extracts concepts and structure from generated notes | | **universal-pyq-analyzer** | Colors priority levels based on historical question frequency | | **universal-imp-topics-generator** | Highlights important nodes in the map | | **universal-study-planner** | Mind maps serve as daily review anchors | | **universal-diagram-generator** | Renders Mermaid mind maps to SVG for document embedding | ## 6. Accessibility & Compatibility ### Text-Only Accessibility Description Every generated mind map MUST include a text-only description for screen readers and accessibility tools. This ensures the map content is accessible to all users. **Format:** ``` Accessibility Description: A [type] diagram showing [summary]. Central node: [X]. Branches: [Y], [Z], ... ``` **Example:** ``` Accessibility Description: A radial mind map diagram showing Computer Networks concepts. Central node: Computer Networks. Branches: OSI Model (7 layers), TCP/IP Stack (4 layers), Protocols (TCP, UDP), Addressing (MAC, IP, Port). Cross-links: OSI Transport ↔ TCP. ``` ### Mermaid Renderer Compatibility Note Mermaid mindmap syntax varies across renderers: | Renderer | mindmap Syntax Support | Notes | | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | **GitHub Markdown** | ✅ Full | Supports `mindmap` block with indented hierarchy | | **Mermaid Live Editor** | ✅ Full | All features supported | | **Obsidian** | ⚠️ Partial | May require `mindmap` plugin or alternative syntax | | **VS Code Extensions** | ⚠️ Partial | Check extension documentation for mindmap support | | **PDF Export (via universal-document-generator)** | ✅ Full | Pre-rendered as SVG, no renderer dependency | **Recommendation:** For maximum compatibility, also generate the indented text outline format (Format 2) alongside any Mermaid mind map. The text outline is universally readable. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [pinakdhabu](https://github.com/pinakdhabu) - **Source:** [pinakdhabu/Exam-prompt](https://github.com/pinakdhabu/Exam-prompt) - **License:** MIT - **Homepage:** https://pinakdhabu.github.io/Exam-prompt/ Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-pinakdhabu-exam-prompt-mind-map-generator - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/pinakdhabu - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
