How to Use find‑skills to Locate Hand‑Drawn Style Mind‑Map AI Skills

Background

Keyword search on https://skillsmp.com/ often fails for complex queries such as “hand‑drawn style mind‑map”. The find‑skills utility provides a programmatic way to discover and install AI skills from the repository.

Installation

Open https://skillsmp.com/ and search for find‑skills.

Download the repository (the code already contains the required skills).

Copy the find‑skills directory into the project’s .trae/skills folder.

Using find‑skills

Run the tool (e.g., trae run find‑skills or via the UI) and select the find‑skills option. The tool lists candidate skills with their installation counts. Filter out low‑popularity entries and choose a higher‑popularity skill such as excalidraw‑diagram. The skill is downloaded to .trae/skills/excalidraw‑diagram. If the automatic placement fails, manually copy the files into .trae/skills.

Generating a hand‑drawn mind‑map

The excalidraw‑diagram skill produces a JSON file that encodes the diagram. To render it:

Open https://excalidraw.com/.

Drag the generated JSON file onto the canvas.

Click “Scroll back to content” to view the diagram.

The resulting diagram follows a hand‑drawn style, though text positioning may require manual adjustment. Further refinement can be performed by invoking the AI assistant, but excessive automated changes may corrupt the file, so manual fine‑tuning is recommended.
