Social Etiquette Guide

What It Solves

Social etiquette advice often stays vague, such as “be polite” or “act naturally.” In real situations—meeting a partner’s parents, contributing to a colleague’s wedding, seating a business dinner, dressing for a funeral, or choosing a gift—people usually need concrete rules: what to wear, what to say, what not to say, how to refuse a toast, and how to adjust for regional norms. This skill turns etiquette questions into actionable checklists instead of abstract etiquette theory or manipulation tactics.

How It Works

The guide organizes advice around scenario, relationship, and regional context. Core capabilities include:
- Scenario coverage: dining, workplace, visiting, weddings, funerals, holidays, and gift-giving.
- Concrete contrast: each case lists what to do and what to avoid, such as avoiding white or all black at weddings and keeping colors sober at funerals.
- Workflow: clarify the situation and participant relationships, then sort key points such as dress, speech, gifts, and taboos, and finally present suggestions by timeline or priority.
- Cultural notes: it explains differences such as Chinese and Western table manners, number taboos, forms of address, and polite toast refusal, while reminding users to follow local customs.

Boundary: it provides general guidance, not professional advice for diplomacy, religious ceremonies, legal disputes, or business negotiation strategy. If a situation carries legal consequences, ritual rules, or cultural sensitivity, consult a qualified professional. For better results, include the region, closeness of the relationship, and any known taboos or dietary preferences.
