create
ChatGPTCreate content in Whimsical — diagrams, folders, or boards. Pick by intent: source is a sketch, hand-drawn note, photographed whiteboard, or any layout where absolute positions matter → type:'board' (pass data.items for one-shot creation; MUST call how_to('board') first). Source describes semantic structure (steps, hierarchy, sequence, UI) → flowchart, mindmap, sequence_diagram, or wireframe — these auto-layout. Mind maps: pass data.markdown directly (no how_to needed). Sequence diagrams: use data.diagram with arrow syntax (A -> B: msg) — no how_to needed for basic diagrams. Flowcharts: MUST call how_to('flowchart') first for the structured format. Wireframes: MUST call how_to('wireframe') first. For documents, use doc_create.
doc_create
ChatGPTCreate a Whimsical document. Markdown content — headings, lists, links, code blocks. For diagrams, boards, or folders, use create.
edit
ChatGPTEdit a Whimsical board or doc. Fetch the board first to get object IDs. Boards: add/update/delete shapes, text, connectors (use temp_id), icons, tables; find_replace/delete_by_text for compound diagrams; mm_update to restructure mindmaps; sd_update for sequence diagrams. Docs: update_block/insert_after_block/append_blocks/delete_block (all markdown). Use how_to('edit') for advanced syntax (table columns, group ops, doc table ops).
fetch
ChatGPTRead boards, docs, or folders by ID. Returns text by default; set image=true for a PNG snapshot. Use scope to drill into a group, select_kinds to filter by type, grep_text to search.
file_tree
ChatGPTBrowse workspace folder hierarchy.
generate_diagram
ChatGPTAuto-laid-out semantic diagrams ONLY (flowchart, mind map, sequence diagram). DO NOT use for sketches, hand-drawn notes, photographed whiteboards, or any input where absolute positions matter — even if the user says 'diagram' — use create(type:'board') instead (see how_to('board')). Mind maps: pass data.markdown directly (no how_to needed). Sequence diagrams: use data.diagram with arrow syntax (A -> B: msg, A --> B: dashed, A ->> B: open arrow) — no how_to needed for basic diagrams. Flowcharts: MUST call how_to('flowchart') first for the structured format.
generate_mind_map
ChatGPTGenerate a Whimsical mind map from indented text. Format: first line is root, children use '- ' bullets, indent 2 spaces per level. Example: 'Root Topic\n- Child 1\n - Grandchild\n- Child 2'
generate_wireframe
ChatGPTGenerate a Whimsical wireframe with flexbox layout — containers, buttons, inputs, images, icons. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS call how_to('wireframe') first and use the Whimsical-specific syntax — wireframes use a flexbox DSL that requires the correct format.
get_board_items
ChatGPTFetch board objects for Whimbed rendering in the widget.
how_to
ChatGPTLook up Whimsical-specific syntax, examples, and guides. MUST call before creating flowcharts or wireframes. NOT needed for mind maps (pass data.markdown) or simple sequence diagrams (use arrow syntax in data.diagram). Call with no args to see available topics and stamps.
list_workspaces
ChatGPTList all workspaces the user belongs to. Returns workspace IDs, names, and role. Role is "member" (can create content) or "guest" (read-only — cannot create or modify content).
search
ChatGPTSearch workspace files and content by name or full text.
wireframe_edit
ChatGPTReflow or edit Whimsical wireframe elements. Use how_to('wireframe-edit') for syntax.
