Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by dandye on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Generate Sitemap AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dandye/ai-runbooks.git /tmp/ai-runbooks
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-runbooks/skills/generate-sitemap .claude/skills/generate-sitemap

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Generate Sitemap in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Generate Sitemap on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Generate Sitemap is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Generate Sitemap Skill

Generate a hierarchical representation of the site structure and navigation maps. This skill visualizes the information architecture to support user experience design and content organization.

Inputs

PATH - The root directory of the project or site (e.g., "/project")
HIERARCHICAL - (Optional) Boolean, whether to strictly follow directory hierarchy (default: true)
CROSS_REFERENCES - (Optional) Boolean, whether to include cross-links between pages (default: false)
EXPORT_FORMAT - (Optional) Output format: "markdown", "xml", "svg", "mermaid" (default: "mermaid")

Workflow

Step 1: Structure Traversal

Traverse the PATH to understand the directory and file structure.

Build a tree representation of folders and files.
Identify "index" or "home" pages for each section.

Step 2: Relationship Mapping

If CROSS_REFERENCES is true, analyze links within content to identify non-hierarchical connections.

Map internal links between nodes.
Identify "See Also" or related content sections.

Step 3: Visualization Generation

Convert the structural tree into the requested EXPORT_FORMAT.

For Mermaid (Diagram):

Generate a graph TD or Mindmap definition.
Nodes represent pages/sections.
Edges represent hierarchy (parent-child) or links.

For XML (Standard Sitemap):

Generate compliant sitemap.xml format.

Step 4: Output Rendering

Return the generated sitemap code or file.

Required Outputs

A SITEMAP_OUTPUT string containing the sitemap representation in the specified OUTPUT_FORMAT.

Example (Mermaid):

mermaid
graph TD
    Root[Home] --> Docs[Documentation]
    Root --> Blog[Blog]
    Docs --> API[API Reference]
    Docs --> Guides[User Guides]
    API --> Auth[Authentication]

Quick Reference

Purpose: Visualize and plan information architecture and navigation.
Tools: Compatible with Mermaid.js for visualization.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Generate Sitemap AI skill do?

Generate hierarchical site structure and navigation maps. Creates visual representations of information architecture and content relationships.

Why use Generate Sitemap on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Generate Sitemap is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Generate Sitemap in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/dandye/ai-runbooks/tree/main/skills/generate-sitemap. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Generate Sitemap?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Generate Sitemap?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Generate Sitemap with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Generate Sitemap AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by dandye under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
