Two Minute Mind Map
create_mind_mapGenerate a slide-deck-quality mind map: a central topic pill with up to 8 colour-coded branches of sub-topics radiating left and right (or all to the right, like an outline), joined by smooth tapered curves. Choose it for brainstorms, idea or theme breakdowns, workshop outputs, feature or research groupings and anything that unpacks ONE central idea into related topics with no order or reporting line; use an org chart instead for people and who reports to whom, a hub and spoke for one centre with a single ring of peers, and a process or cycle when the order matters. Nest sub-topics in children under each branch. Limits: 8 branches, 3 levels below the centre, 50 topics; keep labels to a few words. Infer missing details rather than asking; the user can adjust the chart in the builder through the Edit link. ALWAYS give the user the image link: inline chat images usually cannot be saved, but the link renders the exact chart on demand and can be pasted into a slide or Markdown.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | No | Heading shown top-left of the chart at 22px bold. Every chart has one title row; an empty string hides it. | Mind Map |
| width | No | Chart width in pixels (640–2400). Omit it (recommended) and the chart sizes itself to its content with comfortable margins, between 880 and 1280px wide. PNG output renders at 2x. | |
| center | Yes | The central topic, drawn as a bold pill in the middle, e.g. "Customer retention". Required. Keep it short; long text wraps onto two lines. | |
| credit | No | Shows a small "twominutetoolkit.com" credit under the chart, inside the card. Set false to leave it off (for example when the user asks for no branding). | |
| layout | No | "balanced" (default): branches split between the left and right of the centre so both sides are about the same height, the classic mind-map look. "right": every branch to the right of the centre, like an outline. | balanced |
| palette | No | Hex colours applied in order to items that have no colour of their own. Pass the user's brand colours here when they name them. Default: indigo, sky, emerald, amber, red, gray. | |
| branches | Yes | Required: the first-level branches around the centre (up to 8; an empty list draws just the centre), each with optional nested `children` (up to 3 levels below the centre and 50 topics in total; extras are dropped with a warning). In the balanced layout they run clockwise: the first branches down the right side, the rest up the left. |
