MindNode Theme Agent Skill

Custom themes for MindNode plus an Agent Skill that teaches AI assistants (Claude, Copilot, Codex, Cursor) how to create MindNode themes from any color palette.

Quick Start

Install a Theme

Double-click any .mindnodedynamictheme file to install it in MindNode.

Install the Skill

The mindnode-theme skill teaches AI agents how to create MindNode themes. Install it in your AI tool of choice:

Using skills.sh CLI (easiest):

npx skills add mindnode-theme

Manual installation: Copy the skills/mindnode-theme folder to your AI tool's skills directory (see Installation Paths below).

Included Themes

Theme	Description
Gruvbox.mindnodedynamictheme	Gruvbox color scheme with light/dark mode, per-level styling, and 7 accent colors
mindmanager.mindnodedynamictheme	MindManager-inspired style

The Agent Skill

The mindnode-theme skill enables any compatible AI assistant to:

• Convert color palettes (hex, RGB) to MindNode format
• Create dynamic themes with automatic light/dark mode switching
• Configure per-level styling (boxes vs text-only nodes)
• Set up branch color rainbows
• Package themes as .mindnodedynamictheme files

Example Prompts

Once installed, try asking your AI:

• "Create a MindNode theme using the Dracula color palette"
• "Make a Nord-themed mind map style with boxes only for the first two levels"
• "Convert my brand colors to a MindNode theme"
