Traditional Chinese Medicine Wellness Advisor

The Problem

When users report headaches, insomnia, bloating, or fatigue, generic advice often lacks a clear TCM mechanism, continuous constitution context, and actionable routines. This skill turns TCM wellness into a repeatable advisory workflow: it first collects chief complaint, diet, stools, sleep, cold/heat, and emotional factors, then explains etiology, pathogenesis, and tiered care instead of recommending a single remedy.

Core Capabilities and Workflow

The skill works around three parts:
- Intake: if five or more dimensions are covered, it proceeds to pattern differentiation; otherwise it asks up to three targeted follow-up questions.
- Differentiation: it uses Eight Principles, Zang-Fu, Qi-Blood-Fluid, and external/internal causes, then outputs a fixed three-part structure: etiology, key pathogenesis, and layered care plan.
- Memory: scripts such as init_memory.py and sleep_reflection.py store constitution, history, and feedback, then reuse that context during follow-ups, summaries, and trend review.

The care plan covers routine, food therapy, acupoint massage, emotional regulation, exercise, and seasonal adaptation, with references to classical texts such as the Huangdi Neijing, Shanghan Zabing Lun, and Bencao Gangmu.

Boundaries and Cautions

The skill is for wellness guidance and education, not diagnosis, prescribing, cure promises, or acute care. For severe chest pain, vomiting blood, persistent high fever, or loss of consciousness, advise immediate medical care. Formula examples are reference only and should not replace a licensed TCM practitioner’s in-person evaluation.
