Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mindmap-render scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate_mindmap.py, tests/test_generate_mindmap.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Create a mindmap from a topic or data.
  • Convert a Markdown outline into a visual mindmap image or PDF.
  • Generate a colorful, presentation-quality mindmap with auto-export to PNG/PDF.
  • Build a structured outline (unordered list) and then render it as a mindmap.

Prerequisites

Assume the runtime environment already has Python 3.10+, Playwright, and Chromium installed (they are provisioned in the container). Do not proactively run pip install or playwright install — just run the render script directly. Only if the first run fails with a clear missing-dependency error (ImportError, missing-browser error, etc.), then repair the environment:

pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
playwright install chromium

and retry. Never install speculatively before a failure is observed.

Workflow

Step 1 — Determine input source

Ask the user (or infer from context):

  • Topic: What is the central theme?
  • Data source: Do they already have a Markdown file, or should you research and write one?
  • Source fidelity vs synthesis — a spectrum, not a binary. The more specifically the request points to a named existing artifact (a particular book's table of contents (ToC), a particular course's syllabus, a specific spec or documentation structure, a numbered chapter list), the more you should reproduce the source's real structure verbatim — preserve original labels and numbering, follow the source's natural depth, and add NO fabricated descriptions. The more the request is a broad topic with no single canonical source, the more the structural targets below apply. Most requests sit somewhere on this spectrum; judge and lean accordingly.
  • Theme: air (light blue glow + white cards, default), editorial (warm paper + jewel-tone branches), midnight (deep black + neon accents), or zen (soft misty background + muted pastels).
  • Language:
    • If the user explicitly specifies a language (e.g. "in English", "in Japanese"), use that language for all node text (labels + layer-5 descriptions).
    • Otherwise, match the language of the user's request; default to English when the request language is unclear.
    • Do not translate proper nouns, model names, or established technical terms — preserve them inline.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mindmap-render is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai4s-research/ai4s-skills (254 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,827 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
