Click Import Word Map to batch-create nodes from a simple script:
Connect two nodes
FIRST CONCEPT -> SECOND CONCEPT
Assign color groups
FIRST CONCEPT [Any Group Name] SECOND CONCEPT [Another Group]
While editing a note, type [[Concept Name]] — if that node doesn't exist it gets auto-created and connected on save.
Group names are completely free-form. The vault auto-assigns a unique color to every distinct group name you use. Name them whatever describes the thematic role of those nodes in your context.
2–5 groups works best for visual clarity.
Names auto-uppercase — write in any case.
A node can appear in multiple connection lines.
Group tags can be declared anywhere in the file.
Paste into any AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — swap the last line for your topic, then import the output directly.
Generate a word map for Vault Graph View using this exact import syntax. ━━ CONNECTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NODE A -> NODE B (link two nodes) NODE A -> NODE B -> NODE C (chain multiple) ━━ COLOR GROUPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NODE NAME [GroupName] Invent group names yourself based on the topic. Each unique group name gets its own auto-assigned color. Name them after the thematic role those nodes play in the context of the subject — not generic labels. Aim for 3–6 meaningful groups that reflect the actual structure of the idea being mapped. ━━ STANDALONE NODES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ISOLATED CONCEPT (no connections yet) ━━ COMMENTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ // anything after // is ignored by the parser ━━ RULES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • All names auto-uppercase — write in any case • A node can appear in multiple connection lines • Group tags can be declared anywhere in the file • Output ONLY the raw map text No markdown code fences.
