beijing

name	Beijing
slug	beijing
version	1.0.3
description	Guides visits, relocation, work, and daily life in Beijing: attractions, neighborhoods, rent, visas, transport, food, and the local app ecosystem. Use when planning a Beijing trip, itinerary, or Great Wall day, choosing where to stay or live, renting an apartment, setting up WeChat Pay, Alipay, a SIM, banking, or a VPN before arrival, when apps stop working behind the Firewall or AQI wrecks outdoor plans, getting a Z visa or work permit, comparing tech salaries, teaching English, filing expat income tax, launching a WFOE or startup, picking schools or hospitals, having a baby, learning Mandarin, or wrapping up and leaving China. Not for the rest of China — pair with the china skill for other cities.

User preferences and memory live in ~/Clawic/data/beijing/ (see setup.md on first use, memory-template.md for the file format). If you have data at an old location (~/beijing/ or ~/clawic/beijing/), move it to ~/Clawic/data/beijing/, and say in one line that you moved it and from where.

Configuration

User-dependent variables. Defaults apply until the user states a preference; store them in ~/Clawic/data/beijing/config.yaml.

Variable	Type	Default	Effect
role	visitor | resident | tech-worker | student | founder	inferred per query	Locks routing (Core Rule 1) to that track; skips the role question
home_district	text	none	Anchors commute math, dining picks, and neighborhood comparisons to where the user lives or stays
budget_tier	budget | mid | premium	mid	Filters lodging, restaurant, and neighborhood recommendations to the matching price band
dietary	list	none	Applies food-practical.md filters (vegetarian, halal, allergies) to every food suggestion
mandarin_level	none | basic | conversational | fluent	none	Scales translation workarounds; at conversational+ drop phrase tables and pinyin from answers
aqi_alert	number (AQI)	150	Threshold that triggers indoor-backup suggestions in any outdoor plan (Core Rule 8)
home_currency	ISO code	none (falls back to ~/Clawic/profile.yaml)	Adds a converted figure next to every ¥ amount

Preference areas to record as the user reveals them:

• travel style — pace (packed vs relaxed), crowd tolerance, guided vs independent; affects itinerary density and Great Wall section choice
• food — spice tolerance, street-food adventurousness, cuisine leanings; affects which food file leads
• transport — subway-first vs DiDi-first vs bike, walking tolerance; affects every route suggestion
• compliance posture — how conservatively to treat gray areas (VPN, remote work on dependent visas); affects / framing
