About this skill
Problem
Traditional Chinese medicine formula questions often stop at “use formula X for disease Y.” Users also need the full formula composition, functions, indications, pattern-differentiation logic, minister-subject-assistant structure, and modification rules. Plain answers may mix unsupported content with classical sources, making it hard to separate established formulas, named physician experience, and modern research.
How It Works
The skill follows intent detection → knowledge-base search → article reading → synthesized answer. It is useful for:
- Formula analysis: extract composition, dosage, functions, indications, formula interpretation, and cautions
- Pattern-guided selection: compare candidate formulas by pathogenesis, syndrome, and constitution
- Classic formula theory: explain Six-Channel patterns, formula classification, lineage, and core principles
- Physician cases and disease-specific formulas: summarize prescribing patterns while reminding that syndrome differentiation still matters
The output aims to present a full chain: pathogenesis → treatment method → formula → pairing logic, rather than listing herbs alone.
Boundaries
This skill is for academic reference and knowledge discussion, not a replacement for licensed TCM practitioners. For actual prescribing, dosage changes, pregnancy, children, or chronic disease, follow professional medical advice.
Use Cases
- While preparing TCM formula teaching notes, extract composition, actions, interpretation, and modifications for class review.
- During case-discussion drafting, compare similar formulas by indications, pathogenesis, and syndrome fit to produce selection notes.
- While reviewing Six-Channel theory, organize Sun-disease formulas by pattern, key indications, and formula evolution for study notes.
- When compiling physician case notes, summarize Li Dongyuan’s ascending formulas, pairing habits, and clinical implications.
Best For
- TCM students who need to understand formula composition, minister-subject-assistant structure, and interpretation logic.
- Clinical TCM practitioners who need formula comparison and modification rationale before case discussion or prescription review.
- TCM content editors who need to turn classic formulas, physician cases, and formula theory into readable materials.
- Health writers who need to explain disease-specific formulas with pathogenesis and pattern boundaries.
