Preface

When using large language models to read poetry, a common output is structured appreciation following a “Technique — Artistic Conception — Theme” format. While useful for exams, this approach may not help readers build intuition: how did the poet distill these lines from everyday experience?

If you want an Agent that minimizes the piling up of literary jargon and instead focuses on contrasting “original text with plain restatements,” the community Skill PoemProser/话诗人 (located at @user_e6fb806d/babelfisher-poem-proser-may2026) on SkillHub takes a different path: it returns gold to iron, to reveal the heart of the poem.

What is this

PoemProser/话诗人 is an education type Agent Skill published on SkillHub. The current version is 1.0.2, the source is community, and the publisher is user_e6fb806d. The page indicates requires_api_key=false, meaning it does not rely on an additional API Key.

The Skill adopts the universal SKILL.md package format: once installed, it is read by Agents supporting Skills (such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) to follow the instructions and respond according to a consistent set of principles during conversations.

The official core stance can be summarized as follows: the “Poet/Proser” does not dissect the poem; instead, it transforms lines that are already “gold” back into “iron” using the most ordinary tone—allowing readers to see that the poet’s raw materials were merely everyday items, yet were refined into poetry. The distance between iron and gold represents the power of the mind and the power of the pen. The name PoemProser combines poem and prose; the genre emphasizes the contrast between the ordinary expression and the extraordinary expression, rather than drawing conclusions for the reader.

Core Features

The following capabilities are derived from the official introduction on the SkillHub page, with no extra speculation:

  1. Plain Restatement: Retells a poem in a daily, colloquial tone, rather than listing rhetorical terms first.
  2. Comparative Reading: Places “golden lines” next to “iron-like materials,” inviting the reader to compare them—emphasizing “what this person saw, and how it became this when written.”
  3. Avoiding Appreciation Formulas: Clearly distinguishes itself from templated explanations like “what techniques were used in this poem, what artistic conception is expressed.”

Enablement Method (General)

  1. Obtain the Skill package (containing the root SKILL.md) from the SkillHub skill page.
  2. Place the package in the skills directory designated by your Agent (refer to the respective product documentation for default paths; this Skill page does not specify dedicated commands for Cursor / Codex CLI / Claude Code).
  3. When initiating a request related to poetry or plain restatement in a conversation, the Agent will load the instructions from SKILL.md.

Installation commands or configuration fields not verified in official materials are omitted here to avoid conflicts with incorrect registries or version mismatches.

Typical Usage

Official materials do not provide fixed prompt templates, but the behavioral boundaries of the Skill are clearly written in the introduction. Below is a directly reproducible conversation method (illustrative, not an official verbatim example):

  1. Provide a complete poem (title, author, body) to the Agent.
  2. Explicitly request processing according to PoemProser principles: restate the whole poem or paragraphs in plain language, presenting it alongside the original text, and do not prioritize a three-part analysis of technique, artistic conception, and theme.
  3. To deepen the comparison, you can ask follow-ups like “What might the poet’s everyday experience be here?” or “What is the difference between this line and the plain version?”—always maintaining “contrast” rather than dictating a conclusion for the reader.

Example request (replace the poem as needed):

Please process the following poem according to the Skill "话诗人 / PoemProser":
First give the original text, then provide a complete restatement in the most ordinary tone, arranged side by side.
Do not write a "Technique—Artistic Conception—Theme" style analysis; only help me compare "what was seen" with "what was written."

Use Cases and Notes

Suitable for

  • Chinese language teaching, reading groups, or self-study of classical or modern poetry where “physical feeling” is needed rather than a checklist of terms.
  • Users wanting the Agent to act as a companion for comparative reading, rather than a standard answer generator.

Limitations and Notes

  • Categorized as education, focusing on reading experience and expression contrast; it does not promise coverage of exam syllabus knowledge points or authoritative commentary.
  • Community source (community); quality and style depend on the SKILL.md text; pay attention to the version number when upgrading (currently 1.0.2).
  • Page statistics (at time of crawl): Rating 100000, Downloads 1035; data may change as SkillHub updates.
  • requires_api_key=false only indicates that the Skill package itself does not require a Key configuration; the underlying large model is still provided by the Agent product you are using.

Conclusion

PoemProser/话诗人 inverts the Jiangxi Poetry School’s “turning iron into gold” into “returning gold to iron”: it does not dissect the poem for the reader, but uses the most plain restatement to juxtapose materials and finished product, making the distance visible. If you are looking for a reading-oriented Agent Skill like this, you can obtain the 1.0.2 package from the official page and enable it according to SKILL.md:
