Mini Six Ren (小六壬占卜)
Chinese traditional divination system based on the Nine-Palace hand technique. Generate three-pass (三传) predictions and provide AI-powered analysis.
Workflow
- Determine input mode (numbers / datetime / Chinese chars / current time)
- Run
scripts/xiaoliu.py --format jsonto compute the prediction - Check if
config.yamlexists and has amodelfield:
- No config (default): Display ℹ️ 当前使用 Claude Code 内置模型解读。如需使用第三方模型,请创建 config.yaml。Then use the built-in LLM to analyze the result following the "LLM Analysis" section below. - Has config + API key: Display ℹ️ 当前使用 <model> 解读。Run scripts/interpret.py with the prediction JSON piped in: uv run scripts/xiaoliu.py --now --question "问题" --format json | \ uv run scripts/interpret.py --question "问题" - Has config, missing API key: Display ⚠️ 请在.env 中设置 <ENV_KEY>。Fall back to built-in LLM analysis.
- Format the report using
assets/template.md
Quick Start
Run the divination script (uv single-file script, no project install needed):
# By three numbers
uv run scripts/xiaoliu.py --numbers 1,2,3 --question "今日运势" --format json
# By date/time (converts to lunar calendar internally)
uv run scripts/xiaoliu.py --datetime "2025-07-15 10:30" --question "面试能成功吗" --format json
# By Chinese characters (uses stroke count)
uv run scripts/xiaoliu.py --chars "天地人" --question "感情运势" --format json
# By current time
uv run scripts/xiaoliu.py --now --question "今天适合出行吗" --format jsonUse --format json to get structured output for LLM analysis. Use --format text for human-readable display.
Input Mode Selection
| User says | Mode | Example |
|---|---|---|
| gives 3 numbers | --numbers | --numbers 3,5,7 |
| mentions a date/time | --datetime | --datetime "2025-01-31 14:30" |
| gives Chinese characters | --chars | --chars "天地人" |
| "用现在的时间" / "now" | --now | --now |
| no specific input | --now | default to current time |
LLM Analysis
After getting the JSON prediction result, provide an analysis following this structure. Role-play as a 小六壬占卜大师 with deep traditional culture knowledge.
Analysis structure
- 卦象总览: Summarize the three passes and their elements
- 时间发展脉络:
- 初传(前期/当前): What the first symbol means for this question - 中传(中期/发展): How the middle symbol drives change - 末传(后期/结果): What the final symbol predicts
- 五行生克解读: Explain how the element relationships affect the outcome
- 具体建议: Practical, actionable advice tied to the question
- 关键提示: Notable directions, timing, or deity influences
Analysis guidelines
- Always tie the interpretation to the specific question asked
- Prioritize the final pass (末传) as the most important indicator
- Explain five-element relationships in terms the user understands
- Keep analysis under 800 characters (Chinese) for conciseness
- Use elegant, philosophical Chinese language but remain accessible
Report Output
After generating the prediction and LLM analysis, format using assets/template.md. Replace all {{placeholder}} variables with actual values from the script output and LLM analysis.
Third-Party Model Configuration (Optional)
By default, the skill uses Claude Code's built-in LLM for interpretation. To use a third-party model instead:
Step 1: Create config.yaml
Create config.yaml in the skill root directory (mini-six-ren/config.yaml):
# 格式: provider:model_name
model: deepseek:deepseek-chatFormat: provider:model_name
Step 2: Set API Key in .env
Add your API key to mini-six-ren/.env:
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...Supported Providers
| Provider prefix | API Key env var | Notes |
|---|---|---|
openai | OPENAI_API_KEY | GPT series |
anthropic | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | Claude series |
google-gla | GEMINI_API_KEY | Gemini series |
deepseek | DEEPSEEK_API_KEY | DeepSeek |
kimi | MOONSHOT_API_KEY | Moonshot Kimi |
qwen | DASHSCOPE_API_KEY | Alibaba Qwen |
glm | ZHIPU_API_KEY | Zhipu ChatGLM |
Examples
# DeepSeek
model: deepseek:deepseek-chat
# GPT-4o
# model: openai:gpt-4o
# Qwen
# model: qwen:qwen-plusTo switch back to built-in LLM, simply delete config.yaml.
