Then follow the loaded instructions:

Guided Edit

For complex edits (optimize, review, restructure, restyle), load the edit guide:
bash
xmind skill show editing/guide
Follow the guide's analysis template, then apply changes via batch.

Manual Image Attach

If the user already has local image files, attach them directly to topics:
bash
xmind image <file> --topic <title> --input <path>
xmind image <file> --topic <title> --remove
For illustrated maps where the agent generates images, use xmind-illustrated-map instead.
