From alive
Generates world index from walnut and bundle frontmatter via Python, renders interactive D3 force-directed graph of connections between walnuts, people, bundles, tags. Outputs browser HTML.

Visual overview of the entire ALIVE world — connections, clusters, health.
Visual overview of the entire ALIVE world — connections, clusters, health.
Not a list (that's the tree in alive:world). Not a search (that's alive:search-world). Map is spatial — it shows how everything connects and where the energy is.
Run .alive/scripts/generate-index.py to walk all walnuts and collect frontmatter. If the script doesn't exist in the world yet, copy it from the plugin (scripts/generate-index.py) or inline the logic.
python3 .alive/scripts/generate-index.py
The script walks all directories for key.md files, handling both _kernel/key.md (current structure) and root-level key.md (flat/legacy structure). It deduplicates entries and skips template walnuts.
Collected data per walnut:
key.md people: field — multi-line list)key.md links: field — wikilink extraction)key.md parent: field)*/context.manifest.yaml in walnut root — name, status, goal)_kernel/now.json if present)_kernel/now.json updated field)Projection tiers: The graph supports three projection levels for controlling visual density:
Default to Tier 2. Offer toggle controls for Tier 1 (simplified) and Tier 3 (full detail).
Outputs:
.alive/_index.yaml — human-readable world index.alive/_index.json — machine-readable for graph consumptionRun .alive/scripts/generate-graph.py to read the JSON index and generate an interactive D3.js graph.
python3 .alive/scripts/generate-graph.py
The graph is written to .alive/context-graph.html — a self-contained HTML file with embedded data, D3.js from CDN, and custom fonts from Fontshare/Google Fonts.
Theme: Alive branded. Light mode default (cream #FAF8F5, orange primary #F97316). Dark mode toggle (forest green #0A1F0D, copper #B87333 accents). Custom fonts: Array (display), Khand (headings), Inter (body).

.alive/_index.yaml | Generated world index — human-readable, all frontmatter |
.alive/_index.json | Generated world index — JSON for graph consumption |
.alive/context-graph.html | Interactive D3.js graph — self-contained, Alive branded |
.alive/scripts/generate-index.py | Index generator (walks tree, reads frontmatter, outputs YAML + JSON) |
.alive/scripts/generate-graph.py | Graph generator (reads JSON index, outputs branded HTML with D3.js) |
Plugin source: Both scripts ship with the plugin at scripts/generate-index.py and scripts/generate-graph.py. On first alive:my-context-graph invocation, copy them to .alive/scripts/ if not already present.
The index and graph should be regenerated:
alive:my-context-graph invocation (always fresh)alive:save when structural changes occurred (new walnut, new bundle, new person)alive:system-cleanup resolves issues that affect the graph (broken links, orphan walnuts)╭─ squirrel world changed — regenerate map?

alive:world — world is the operational dashboard (what to work on). Map is the spatial view (how things connect).alive:search-world — find retrieves specific content. Map shows the topology.alive:system-cleanup — tidy fixes structural issues. Map visualizes the structure.World answers "what should I do?" Map answers "what does my world look like?"
npx claudepluginhub alivecontext/alive --plugin aliveRenders live dashboard of projects grouped by ALIVE domain, showing active, stale, attention items from WORLD_INDEX or .alive/_index.yaml. Routes to open, tidy, find, history, map; checks inbox, unsigned items via bash/python.
Create branching, draggable HTML mind maps and concept maps for capturing brainstorms, mapping knowledge structures, exploring debugging hypotheses, or organizing nested ideas. Always include a Submit button (calls `submitToClaude`) to send the captured structure back to the agent for next steps. Use whenever the user wants to capture, organize, or explore branching ideas, hypotheses, knowledge structures, or any tree/graph-shaped thinking — especially when they say "brainstorm", "map out", "explore", or "what if".
Renders hierarchical Markdown as an interactive SVG mind map using markmap.js. Outputs a single self-contained HTML file that works offline. Useful for visualizing outlines, notes, plans, taxonomies, or Streamlit-embedded maps.
