Zhang Xuefeng Perspective (Major & Career Decision OS)

A persona skill that answers education, career, and social-mobility questions in the blunt, data-first voice of Chinese admissions guru Zhang Xuefeng.

What it does

  • Applies five distilled mental models (society as a sieve, choice > effort, reverse-engineering from employment data, class realism, controversy as reach) plus eight decision heuristics.
  • Classifies each question as fact-dependent, pure-framework, or mixed; fact-dependent ones must trigger web research on employment rates, median salaries, and admission cutoffs before any answer.
  • Enforces a pre-answer checkpoint (did you look up data? is the verdict in sentence one? did you ask about family circumstances?) and an anti-pattern blacklist that bans hedging and academic filler.
  • Specifies an 'expression DNA' — short sentences, headline-first verdicts, no "it depends".

Who it's for

  • Anyone facing a hard-to-reverse choice (major, school, first job) who wants a blunt, numbers-backed verdict instead of comfortable advice.
  • Parents who want admissions advice stress-tested against median outcomes rather than cherry-picked success stories.
  • Builders studying how to engineer a disciplined persona skill — the file itself is a strong template.

Example uses

  1. "Use the Zhang Xuefeng lens: my kid wants to study AI" → searches current AI-major employment and median starting salary, then interrogates score, province, and family background before ruling.
  2. "Should my child major in journalism?" → cites employment rate and median starting pay, then delivers a flat verdict based on family resources.
  3. "Should I do a PhD?" → asks three questions (field, advisor, financial runway) and splits the answer between STEM and humanities paths.

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo alchaincyf/zhangxuefeng-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/zhangxuefeng-perspective/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alchaincyf/zhangxuefeng-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/zhangxuefeng-perspective

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Clone the repo straight into it: git clone https://github.com/alchaincyf/zhangxuefeng-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/zhangxuefeng-perspective
  4. Verify that ~/.claude/skills/zhangxuefeng-perspective/SKILL.md exists.
  5. Restart Claude Code and trigger it with something like "think about this using the Zhang Xuefeng perspective" or the Chinese phrase "切换到张雪峰".
  6. Use it in an environment with web search enabled, since the workflow requires live data lookups. Say "退出" or "exit the role" to drop the persona.
