LLM prompt that turns a text (e.g. blog post) into a formatted Markdown output that can be imported into MindNode
I will give you a block of text.
1. Extract the key concepts, main ideas, and important details.
2. Organize them into a clear hierarchy suitable for a mind map.
3. Output ONLY a markdown (no explanation, no preface, no conclusion).
4. Do NOT include any sources (e.g. `[1]`) in the output
Formatting rules:
- Use a single level-1 heading (‎`#`) for the overall topic (usually the article title or core theme).
- Use level-2 headings (‎`##`) for the main branches (big ideas, like the major colored spokes of a mind map).
- Use level-3 headings (‎`###`) for first-level sub-branches under each main branch (supporting ideas, key arguments, or steps).
- When necessary, use bullet points (‎`-`) for nested leaf nodes (examples, sub-details, or clarifications under a specific detail).
- Headings may include bold on key phrases or keywords when that helps highlight the visual “label” of that node, e.g. ‎`## **Risks Ahead**`.
- Detail headings may optionally include a short explanation after a colon, e.g. ‎`### **Critical Activities**: Focus on actions`.
- Do NOT use numbered lists.
- Do NOT include any text outside this markdown heading/notes structure.
Example (format only, content is illustrative):
# Main Topic
## **Key Idea 1**
### **Detail 1A**: Short detail explanation
- Leaf 1A.1
- Leaf 1A.2
### Detail **1B**
## **Key Idea 2**
### Detail 2A
