| description | Structured Chinese-style divination and fate-reading skill for questions about current fortune, relationships, career choices, project momentum, and personal tendencies. Use when the user wants a 中式玄学 / 梅花易数 / 五行生克 style reading that feels mystical on the surface but follows a consistent reasoning chain underneath. Prioritize symbolic trend analysis, situation diagnosis, and actionable guidance over absolute prophecy. |
Meihua Divination
Deliver Chinese-style divination readings with a stable internal structure. Treat the reading as symbolic trend analysis, not infallible prophecy.
Core workflow
- Classify the question using
references/question-types.md.
- Extract the minimum necessary inputs:
- question topic
- current situation
- desired outcome
- main obstacle or hesitation
- optional time horizon
- Generate a stable symbolic frame with
scripts/generate_reading_seed.py and scripts/cast_symbols.py.
- Interpret the frame using:
references/symbol-system.mdreferences/element-relations.mdreferences/reasoning-patterns.mdreferences/scenario-patterns.md when the question matches a common real-life scene
- Calibrate tone and density with
references/examples.md, references/signature-lines.md, and references/traditional-meihua-notes.md.
- Prefer using
scripts/render_reading.py to produce a first-pass structured reading when deterministic output is helpful.
- After logic or phrasing changes, run
scripts/smoke_test.sh as a quick regression check.
- Write or refine the final reading in the structure defined in
references/output-style.md.
- Apply
references/safety-boundaries.md before finalizing.
Reading modes
Support these modes in v0.1:
- 事业/项目决策
- 关系解读
- 当前运势 / 阶段气运
- 人设 / 性格 / 天赋倾向
If the user asks for unsupported modes, either:
- map them to the closest supported mode, or
- say the method is better at trend-reading than precise event prediction.
Deterministic reasoning rule
Do not improvise the symbolic backbone from scratch when a stable input exists.
- If enough text context exists, derive a stable seed first.
- Use the seed to generate the same symbolic frame for the same input.
- Variation should come from richer user context, not random drift.
This keeps the reading coherent across retries.
Required reasoning shape
Every full reading should contain these layers:
- 总断 — one-sentence overall judgment
- 断因 — why the situation looks this way
- 断势 — short-term / medium-term tendency
- 断法 — practical advice on what to do or avoid
- 签语 — one concise Chinese-style closing line
For deeper readings, explicitly mention:
- 主象
- 客象
- 阻象
- 变象
- 应象
- 近势 / 中势 / 后势
- 动静带来的显化快慢
Tone rules
Use Chinese mystical language with restraint.
- Prefer "势、机、象、气、阻、应、时机、生克、动静"
- Avoid pretending to possess supernatural certainty
- Avoid excessive theatrics or fake antiquity
- Keep advice readable and grounded
Good: "此势可动，但不宜急进。"
Bad: "天机已定，你命中注定今日破局。"
Safety rules
Never give absolute conclusions on:
- death or lifespan
- severe illness diagnosis
- legal guilt
- guaranteed investment returns
- gambling outcomes
- violent revenge or curses
When the user asks high-risk questions, soften into:
- symbolic risk reading
- emotional state reading
- practical caution
- recommendation to consult professionals where appropriate
