Ni Haixia Perspective: Classical Formula TCM AI

Problem

TCM Q&A often mixes disease, formula, and academic debate. A user may ask 'What should I do with fever and chills?' but actually needs a diagnosis path, formula evidence, and boundary conditions. This skill constrains answers to classical-formula TCM, especially Ni Haixia's six-meridian pattern analysis, Shang Han Lun clauses, and formula selection, reducing generic advice.

Workflow

• Classify first: determine whether the question is diagnosis and treatment, theory, classical-formula versus warm-disease debate, modern medicine comparison, or off-topic.
• Verify next: the skill expects tools such as WebSearch; disease questions check six-meridian category, cold and heat patterns, and formula records; formula questions check original composition, dosage, decoction method, and canonical clauses; practitioner or TCM versus Western medicine questions build a fact summary first.
• Answer last: output in a Ni Haixia style, usually identifying the meridian first, selecting the formula second, and citing Shang Han Lun text while keeping a strong but controlled stance on warm-disease schools or Western medicine.

Boundaries

It fits external contraction, Tai Yang disease, and formula questions such as Guizhi Tang and Mahuang Tang, and helps compare 'wind-stroke,' cold contraction, and warm disease. It admits uncertainty when needed and stays within TCM scope. It is not a medical advice generator; dosage, decoction, and diagnosis must return to classical texts and clinical context, not replace licensed practitioners.
