description: How to create, view, and manage brainstorming mindmaps using the mindmap terminal module
tags: [mindmap, brainstorming, organization, planning]
category: productivity

## Steps
1. **Create a new mindmap:**
- `mindmap new "<topic>" -t tag1,tag2` — creates a root node
- Tags are optional (e.g. planning, research, dev)
- Root gets auto-assigned a color
2. **Add child nodes:**
- `mindmap add <parent-id> "<idea>" -t tag` — add a child
- Get the parent-id from `mindmap show`
- IDs are 4-char random strings (e.g. a3f8, x7k2)
3. **View the mindmap:**
- `mindmap show` — full tree with Unicode box-drawing
- `mindmap show <id>` — subtree starting at that node
4. **Edit nodes:**
- `mindmap rename <id> "<new text>"` — change text
- `mindmap color <id> <color>` — set color (red/green/yellow/blue/cyan/magenta/white)
- `mindmap tag <id> <tag>` — add a tag
5. **Persistence:**
- `mindmap save <name>` — save to localStorage
- `mindmap load <name>` — restore
- `mindmap list` — show saved mindmaps
- `mindmap delete <name>` — remove saved
6. **Export:**
- `mindmap export [id]` — Markdown bullet list output
## When to use
- User wants to brainstorm, organize ideas, plan features
- User says "map out", "diagram", "brainstorm", "organize thoughts"
- Visualizing project structure or task decomposition
