Does it support colors for nodes?

Yes, it uses Obsidian's native color presets (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Purple) to categorize information semantically.

Can I choose between different visual styles?

Yes, the skill supports both structured MindMap layouts for hierarchies and Freeform layouts for flexible spatial organization.

How does it handle long text segments?

The skill applies dynamic node sizing based on character count to ensure readability and optimal visual flow.

What file format does this skill generate?

It generates a standard .canvas JSON file that can be directly imported or opened in Obsidian.

How do I use the output in Obsidian?

Simply copy the generated JSON output into a new file with the .canvas extension within your Obsidian vault.

Productivity & Workflow

Converts text content and structured notes into interactive Obsidian Canvas files with automatic layout optimization.

About

This skill empowers Claude to transform complex text, articles, or brainstormed notes into visually structured Obsidian Canvas (.canvas) files. It supports both hierarchical MindMap layouts for clear information architecture and spatial Freeform layouts for complex conceptual mapping. By automatically calculating node dimensions, managing unique identifiers, and applying color-coded categorization, it bridges the gap between linear text processing and spatial knowledge management within the Obsidian ecosystem.
