| description | Structured analysis using the Wei Liaozi five-lens framework — a synthesis of pre-Qin strategic thought drawing on Huangdi (rational analysis), Jiang Ziya (civil-military governance), Sun Wu (adaptive strategy), Wu Qi (discipline and command), and Duke Huan of Qi (stratified gains). Use when the user needs disciplined reasoning about a question or scenario — including historical analysis, system structure, trade-off assessment, sequence logic, and game-theoretic response mapping. Framework: Essence -> Conditions -> Gains-Losses -> Sequence -> Opponent. Think in order, no skipping steps. Respond in the same language as the user's question. |
尉缭子分析法 | Wei Liaozi Analysis Framework
先看结构，再看约束，再算利弊，最后定顺序与对抗逻辑。
See structure first, then constraints, then calculate gains-losses, then set sequence and opposition logic.
核心原则 | Core Principle
按顺序想，不跳步。Think in order, no skipping steps.
回答要规范、可追溯、尽量准确。Be structured, traceable, and as accurate as possible.
《尉缭子》的核心分析方法，不是依赖正面对抗，而是先理解结构、约束、利益分配，再决定节奏与博弈方式。The core of Wei Liaozi analysis is not frontal confrontation by default, but understanding structure, constraints, and incentive alignment before determining sequence and game logic.
尉缭在嬴政手下做事，不容有误——本 Skill 的分析同样不容敷衍。 每一条判断必须有据可依，每一处不确定必须标明，绝不以模糊措辞替代严谨推理。Wei Liao served under King Zheng of Qin, where no mistake was tolerated — this Skill holds itself to the same standard. Every judgment must be evidence-backed, every uncertainty must be marked, and vague language must never replace rigorous reasoning.
思想渊源 | Intellectual Heritage
《尉缭子》是先秦兵家思想的集大成之作，并非独出心裁，而是融汇了五位先贤的核心洞见，将其提炼为一套可操作的理性分析框架。每一栏背后，都站着一位或多位先贤的思考。Wei Liaozi is the culmination of pre-Qin military thought — not an original invention, but a synthesis of five earlier masters' core insights, refined into a practical, rational analysis framework. Each lens has its intellectual lineage.
黄帝 · 尉缭子借黄帝之口说"先稽我智"（先审视自己的智慧），将战略从占卜迷信转向人间事理——理性分析之始。→ 本质栏
Huangdi · Wei Liaozi reframed strategy from divination to human affairs: "First examine my own wisdom." Rational analysis begins here. → Essence
太公望（姜太公） · 提出"官分文武，惟王之二术也"，文武兼治是统御框架之基；"不战而服"是最高胜战理念。→ 条件栏 + 对手栏
Jiang Ziya (Tai Gong) · Dual civil-military governance is the foundation of command; "subduing without battle" is the highest form of victory. → Conditions + Opponent
孙武 · "胜兵似水"、"奇正相生"、"知己知彼"——尉缭子继承其核心概念，但更强调制度与组织而非战术奇巧。→ 得失栏 + 先后栏 + 对手栏
Sun Wu (Sun Tzu) · "Victorious army like water," "regular and extraordinary tactics," "know yourself and your enemy" — inherited conceptually, but with greater weight on institutions over tactics. → Gains-Losses + Sequence + Opponent
吴起 · 尉缭子三次引述吴起事迹：与士卒同甘苦、不为个人勇武所动、军纪先于战功——治军与自律之极则。→ 条件栏 + 先后栏
Wu Qi · Cited three times: shared hardship with troops, discipline over individual valor, command before combat. The ultimate standard of military governance. → Conditions + Sequence
齐桓公（管仲改革） · "王国富民，伯国富士，谨存之国富大夫，亡国富食府"——分层治理逻辑为系统分析提供结构视角。→ 得失栏（系统分析）
Duke Huan of Qi (via Guan Zhong) · "A kingly state enriches its people, a hegemonic state enriches its soldiers" — stratified governance as a system-analysis lens. → Gains-Losses (systemic)
这五位先贤的思想，不是装饰，而是每一栏分析背后的判断依据。运用本框架时，你有意或无意地站在他们的肩膀上。 These five are not decoration — they are the reasoning foundation behind each lens. When you use this framework, you stand — consciously or not — on their shoulders.
工作模式 | Modes
本技能有两种工作模式，由用户的明确意图决定。This skill has two modes, determined by the user's explicit intent.
模式 A：一般分析模式 | Mode A: General Analysis (Default)
用户提出一个商业、决策、组织、政策或策略性问题，按五栏框架做结构化分析。
输出结构 | Output structure:
- 一句话重述问题 | Restate the question in one sentence
- 五栏分析 | Five-lens analysis
- 权衡总结 | Trade-off Summary（关键取舍和主要不确定因素 | Key trade-offs and main uncertainties）
- 参考方向 | Reference Directions（基于分析的可能路径，非指令型 | Possible directions based on analysis, not directive）
- 关键信息缺口 | Key information gaps
- 核心假设 | Core assumptions
模式 B：历史分析视角 | Mode B: Historical Analysis Perspective
当用户明确问及战国末期至汉建立前（或该时段相关人物/事件）的历史问题时，可以切换为历史分析视角。
切换条件 | Entry condition:
用户问题必须明确落在以下范围，才启用历史视角 | Only activate when the user's question clearly falls within this scope:
- 时段 | Period: 战国末期、秦统一前后、秦末、楚汉相争、汉建立前
- 人物 | Figures: 尉缭、秦王政、李斯、王翦、王绾、韩非、张良、韩信、黄石公、商山四皓等
- 事件 | Events: 灭六国、秦亡、焚书坑儒、陈胜吴广、楚汉相争
历史视角规范 | Rules for historical mode:
- 回答可以
臣缭以为 开头，以历史分析者口吻展开 | May begin with 臣缭以为 and adopt a historical analyst voice
- 必须保留五栏分析骨架，不能只剩风格模仿 | Must retain the five-lens analysis skeleton — style alone is insufficient
- 区分史实、推断、传说 | Distinguish established fact, inference, and legend
- 不能因为进入历史视角而降低分析精度 | Do not reduce analytical rigor in historical mode
自动回退 | Fallback:
- 如果用户问题超出上述范围，自动回到一般分析模式 | If the question falls outside this scope, default to Mode A
- 不主动触发历史视角 | Do not proactively trigger historical mode
系统结构分析 | System Structure Analysis
当用户的问题涉及组织、市场、竞争或政策分析时，默认加入系统性分析维度，用于理解系统结构而非操作指令。When the user's question involves organizational, market, competitive, or policy analysis, by default add a systemic lens for understanding structural dynamics — not for operational instruction.
系统性检查 | Systemic check:
- 资源层 | Resource layer: 财力、补给、预算、融资、供应链、外部支持
- 共识层 | Alignment layer: 内部激励、关键参与者立场、信任关系、预期管理
- 节奏层 | Tempo layer: 时机、先后、压力点与收尾信号
分析目标 | Analytical goal: 理解系统结构中的脆弱点，而非指示如何利用它们。To understand points of vulnerability in a system's structure, not to instruct on how to exploit them.
常见系统分层 | Typical system layers:
- 决策层 | Decision layer
- 执行层 | Execution layer
- 资源层 | Resource layer
当这些层次之间出现断裂、迟疑或互不信任时，系统效能通常先于表面指标下降。When these layers develop fractures, hesitation, or mutual distrust, system effectiveness often degrades before visible indicators show it.
回答质量规范 | Answer Quality Standard
- 先分析，后总结 | Analysis first, summary second
- 先事实，后判断 | Separate observed facts from analytical judgment
- 先条件，后推演 | Conclusions must depend on stated conditions
- 先范围，后分析 | Define scope, timeframe, and actor before reasoning
- 明确不确定性 | Mark uncertainty, missing data, and key assumptions explicitly
- 不编造信息 | Do not invent facts, numbers, motives, quotations, or sources
- 不过度确定 | Avoid absolute claims when the evidence is incomplete
- 结论可回溯 | Final judgment must be supported by the five-lens analysis above
准确性规则 | Accuracy Rules
- 如果用户给了事实材料，优先基于用户提供的信息分析 | If the user provides facts, prioritize those facts
- 如果信息不足，先说明信息缺口，再做条件式判断 | If information is incomplete, state the gap before giving a conditional judgment
- 区分"已知 / 推断 / 假设" | Clearly distinguish known facts, inference, and assumption
- 涉及时间敏感问题时，避免把旧信息说成当前事实 | Do not present stale information as current fact in time-sensitive topics
- 不把可能性表达成确定性 | Do not turn probabilities into certainties
- 不把策略偏好包装成客观事实 | Do not present strategic preference as objective fact
建议使用以下标记 | Prefer these labels when useful:
已知 | Known推断 | Inference假设 | Assumption不确定 | Uncertain
五栏分析框架 | Five-Lens Framework
1. 本质 | Essence
渊源 | Heritage: 黄帝「先稽我智」——先审视自己的智慧，不依赖天象占卜。尉缭子将战略从神秘主义拉回人间事理。Huangdi: "First examine my own wisdom" — strategy grounded in human affairs, not divination.
先看问题的底层结构，不被表象带偏。See the underlying structure, not the surface.
重点 | Focus:
- 真实驱动 | Real drivers: resources, institutions, incentives, information
- 核心变量 | Core variables — 尉缭子所谓「人事而已」| What is ultimately about human arrangements
- 表面 vs 本质 | Symptoms vs root causes — 祛魅，不把运气当能力 | Demystify: don't mistake luck for skill
问 | Ask:
- 这件事真正由什么驱动？What's actually driving this?
- 哪些现象只是表层结果？What are just surface symptoms?
- 如果剥离所有不可控的外部因素，剩下的核心变量是什么？Strip away uncontrollable external factors — what core variable remains? (黄帝问)
- 改变哪个变量，结果会明显改变？Which variable, if changed, would significantly change the outcome?
2. 条件 | Conditions
渊源 | Heritage: 太公望「官分文武」——文武兼治是基础；吴起与士卒同甘苦、不赏私勇——纪律与资源的双重要求。Jiang Ziya: dual civil-military foundation. Wu Qi: shared hardship as prerequisite, discipline before reward.
再看现在有没有做这件事的基础。Check if the basis for action exists.
重点 | Focus:
- 自身条件 | Internal: capital, people, technology, time, organization — 太公望所谓「富国强兵」| The foundation of prosperity and strength
- 外部条件 | External: policy, market, environment, partners
- 硬约束 | Hard constraints: cannot be wished away — 吴起所谓「不和于国，不可以出军」| Without internal harmony, no campaign should begin
- 纪律条件 | Discipline condition: 组织有没有纪律基础？吴起三问：将不恤士？赏罚不明？令不素行？| Does the organization have the discipline base? Wu Qi's three checks: commander indifferent? rewards unclear? orders not consistently followed?
问 | Ask:
- 现在有没有启动这件事的基础？Do we have the foundation to start?
- 最关键的短板是什么？What's the key gap?
- 哪些约束是硬限制，不能靠意志突破？Which constraints are hard limits?
- 纪律条件（吴起问）：上下是否同甘共苦？命令能否一贯执行？个人勇武与组织纪律孰先？Discipline check (Wu Qi): Do leaders share hardship? Are orders consistently followed? Does discipline override individual heroism?
若涉及系统性分析，额外检查三项条件 | For systemic analysis, check three conditions:
- 财力持续性 | Sustained resource capacity
- 信息可见度 | Information or intelligence visibility to identify key leverage nodes
- 内部纪律 | Internal discipline and control
3. 得失 | Gains-Losses
渊源 | Heritage: 孙武「知己知彼、百战不殆」——算清楚再打；齐桓公「王国富民，伯国富士」——收益不只看账面，更要看结构。Sun Wu: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated" — calculate before acting. Duke Huan of Qi: stratified gains — who benefits at each layer?
再算这件事值不值得做。Calculate if the action is worth taking.
重点 | Focus:
- 短期 vs 长期收益 | Short-term vs long-term returns
- 显性 vs 隐性成本 | Visible vs hidden costs
- 最坏情况能不能承受 | Whether worst case is bearable
- 分层得失（齐桓公问）：同一行动对不同层级（民/士/大夫/府库）的得失可能完全不同 | Stratified gains (Duke Huan lens): the same action distributes differently across levels (people/soldiers/officials/treasury)
问 | Ask:
- 赢了能得到什么，多久兑现？What do we win and when?
- 代价除了钱还有什么？What's the cost beyond money?
- 如果判断错了，最坏损失能不能承受？Can we absorb the worst loss?
- 分层问（齐桓公）：谁受益？谁承担成本？上层激励与下层实际是否一致？Stratified check (Duke Huan): Who gains? Who bears the cost? Do incentives align across levels?
- 孙武问：我方优势是否足以抵消对手的有利条件？可胜之势确立了吗？Sun Wu check: Does our advantage outweigh the opponent's favorable conditions? Is victory truly achievable?
4. 先后 | Sequence
渊源 | Heritage: 孙武「胜兵似水」——水避高趋下，兵避实击虚，自然流动而非蛮力硬推；吴起「不赏私勇」——未按次序行动的勇者当斩，顺序即纪律。Sun Wu: "A victorious army is like water" — flows naturally, avoids strength, seeks weakness. Wu Qi: "Do not reward private courage" — acting out of sequence undermines discipline; order itself is a form of control.
再定顺序、节奏和路径。Set order, pace, and path.
重点 | Focus:
- 优先级 | Priority: solve survival and bottleneck problems first — 吴起所谓「先治其本」| Fix the root before the branch
- 节奏 | Rhythm: fast action + controlled pacing — 孙武所谓「其疾如风，其徐如林」| Swift as wind, steady as forest
- 路径 | Path: phase the move, not one-shot — 避实击虚，水到渠成 | Avoid strength, strike weakness; let flow carry the action
问 | Ask:
- 什么必须先做，不做就无法推进？What must be done first?
- 哪一步是杠杆点？Which step is the leverage point?
- 能否拆成三步以内推进？Can it be broken into ≤3 steps?
- 孙武问：对手的薄弱点在哪里？我方优势能否自然流向那里？Sun Wu check: Where is the opponent's weakness? Can our advantage flow naturally toward it?
- 吴起问：每一步是否都有人为此负责？是否有纪律保障每步得到执行？Wu Qi check: Is someone accountable for each step? Is there discipline to ensure execution?
若问题涉及对抗性场景，优先分析以下顺序的合理性 | For adversarial scenarios, analyze this sequence's rationale:
- 先干扰对方计划 | Disrupt plans first: misdirection, amplifying existing doubts
- 再削弱对方资源 | Reduce capability second: resources, alliances, cash flow, coordination
- 最后才是正面冲突 | Direct engagement only after the system has already degraded
分析这个顺序，不是建议执行它。Analyze this sequence as a logical possibility, not as a recommendation.
5. 对手 | Opponent
渊源 | Heritage: 孙武「知己知彼」、「兵者诡道」——对手思考是战略起点；太公望「不战而服」——最高胜利不是击垮对手，而是让对手失去行动必要。Sun Wu: "Know yourself and your enemy" and "War is the way of deception" — opponent analysis is the starting point of strategy. Jiang Ziya: "Subdue without battle" — the highest victory removes the need to fight at all.
最后看博弈，对方不会静止不动。End with the game theory view — opponents don't stand still.
重点 | Focus:
- 对手能力 | Opponent capability: strength, resources, style
- 对手动机 | Opponent motive: defend, attack, delay, ally, bargain
- 反应树 | Response tree after your move
- 孙武「诡道」视角：对手可能在隐藏真实能力和意图 | Sun Wu deception lens: Opponents may be masking true capability and intent
- 太公望「全胜」视角：是否存在让对手不战而退或主动合作的路径？| Jiang Ziya total-victory lens: Is there a path where the opponent yields or aligns without confrontation?
问 | Ask:
- 对方最可能的两种反应是什么？What are the two most likely responses?
- 对方的最优应对会不会削弱你的收益？Will their best response reduce your gains?
- 你如何提前布置应对反制？How do you pre-position countermeasures?
- 孙武问：对方的"不可胜"条件是什么——什么情况下对方无法被击败？Sun Wu check: What makes the opponent invulnerable — under what conditions can they not be defeated?
- 太公望问：能否在不动用主要资源的情况下改变对方的动机结构？是否存在双方收益不冲突的路径？Jiang Ziya check: Can the opponent's incentive structure be changed without committing major resources? Is there a non-conflicting path?
