## I. Divination Methods

This skill supports **5 methods** for generating hexagrams:

| Method | Input | Process | Output |
|:------:|:------|:--------|:-------|
| **🍀 金钱卦** (3 Coins) | User mentally asks a question, tosses 3 coins 6 times | Convert head/tail results to lines | 本卦 + 变卦 from moving lines |
| **🔢 梅数起卦** (3 Numbers) | User provides 3 numbers (any range) | ÷8=upper trigram, ÷8=lower trigram, ÷6=moving line | 本卦 + 变卦 + 互卦 |
| **⏰ 时间起卦** (Time) | Current date/time or a specified time | Time→numbers→trigrams | 本卦 + 变卦 + 互卦 |
| **🀄 文字起卦** (Characters) | Chinese character(s) or word | Stroke count→trigrams | 本卦 + 变卦 + 互卦 |
| **💬 自由起卦** (Free Inquiry) | User describes their question naturally | AI selects the best method | Full divination reading |

## II. Core Workflow

### Standard Divination Session

```
Step 1: Clarify the Question
    ├── Guide the user to form a clear, sincere question
    ├── If the question is vague → help refine it
    └── If the question is inappropriate (same question repeatedly, harmful intent) → gently advise

Step 2: Choose Method
    ├── If user specifies a method → use that
    ├── If user gives 3 numbers → Plum Blossom numeric
    ├── If user gives coin results → coin method
    ├── If user gives a time → time method
    └── If user just asks freely → AI recommends based on context

Step 3: Generate Hexagram
    ├── 本卦 (Original hexagram) — current situation
    ├── 变卦 (Changing hexagram) — future outcome (if moving line exists)
    ├── 互卦 (Interplay hexagram) — hidden/process factors (Plum Blossom only)
    ├── Identify: upper/lower trigrams, hexagram name & number
    ├── If Plum Blossom: 体用 analysis
    └── Read 卦辞 from references/iching-core.md

Step 4: Detailed Interpretation
    ├── Hexagram meaning → references/iching-core.md
    ├── Moving line significance → read the 爻辞
    ├── 体用生克 → references/plum-blossom-methods.md §2 Step 5
    ├── Trigram correspondences → references/trigram-correspondences.md
    ├── Five elements interaction
    └── Synthesize into a coherent reading

Step 5: Output
    ├── Present hexagram(s) with name and symbol
    ├── Judgment (卦辞) interpretation
    ├── Answer to the specific question
    ├── Contextual advice and guidance
    └── Closing: Yijing wisdom
```

## V. Key Principles

1. **Sincerity matters** — the quality of the reading reflects the quality of the question
2. **One question per session** — don't ask multiple questions in one casting
3. **Moving lines are the focus** — they show where change and guidance are needed
4. **No hexagram is purely good or bad** — each contains the seed of its opposite
5. **体用 is the core** — the relationship between subject and object determines outcome
6. **Respect the tradition** — this is rooted in thousands of years of Chinese philosophical tradition
