What it does
Cídá (辞达) guides an agent through Chinese text work: drafting, rewriting, fixing a paragraph, turning an interview transcript into an article. It first pins down facts, evidence and the author's position, then builds a task for the platform: format, reader, goal, length. The agent then compares delivery strategies and checks the result twice, for text quality and for platform fit. WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, Weibo, X, podcast and video-script channels are covered. A personal style can be calibrated on the user's own samples. Imitating living authors and beating AI detectors are excluded by the rules.
Who it is for. Authors, editors and social media managers writing in Chinese who want the agent to hold facts and tone instead of stamping out template paragraphs.
Good fit when
- A WeChat or Zhihu draft reads like a translation and needs rewriting.
- An interview or podcast transcript has to become a coherent text without losing facts.
- One piece ships to several platforms and each needs its own delivery.
- A team wants its style pinned down from existing sample texts.
Not a fit when
- The text is not in Chinese: the rules and examples target the Chinese language.
- You need a tool that hides machine origin from detectors: the authors excluded that goal.
- You want to imitate a specific living author's style.
Example request
Rewrite this paragraph for WeChat so it sounds natural without changing facts or numbers.Limitations
The skill is written in Chinese and mostly targets a Chinese-speaking reader, so the output is hard to judge without the language. It is a set of instructions, not a fact check: the agent relies on the user's material and errors in the source data remain. The rules are extensive (a main file plus reference documents), and on short edits the agent compresses some steps. The version is described as 1.3.0 under the MIT license. For Codex and OpenCode the repository is placed in the project rather than installed by script.
How to disable. Delete `~/.claude/skills/cida`. For Codex and OpenCode, remove the cloned repository from the project.
FAQ
What comes out?
A finished text for the chosen platform and, in diagnosis mode, a list of concrete problems with fixes. The skill does not print an AI-likeness percentage.
How do I install it in Claude Code?
Run `git clone https://github.com/mizzlelover/cida.git`, then `bash cida/install.sh`. After that, invoke it with an ordinary request such as improving an article.
Does it work with Codex?
Yes. Clone the repository into the project; `AGENTS.md` in the root points the agent to the main `SKILL.md`.
Can it rewrite a text in a famous author's manner?
No. The authors deliberately refuse to copy living people's style; calibrate on your own samples instead.
Does it suit a short edit?
Yes. On a single sentence the agent shortens diagnosis and option comparison but keeps the facts of the source.
