Cídá 辞达

A Chinese prose-quality skill that makes AI write modern Chinese worth reading — explicitly not an AI-flavor remover.

Cídá (辞达, "say it well" — from Su Shi's letter on prose) is a Claude Code skill for modern Chinese writing quality. Its stance is unusual: it refuses the humanizer genre outright — no gaming AI detectors, no fake imperfections, no imitating living authors, no banned-word lists, no percentage scores — and instead optimizes readability, conversational force, rhythm and thought density through eleven principles (quality before humanization, audience before style, facts before flourish, mechanism before rule) and a default register of "plain Chinese that gets the point across," where any more literary treatment needs a contextual reason. The skill routes through a SKILL.md entry into eight workflows (topic to article, full rewrite, paragraph polish, oral transcript to article, deep rewrite with P0-to-P4 diagnosis, text diagnosis, platform adaptation, style calibration), backed by a knowledge base of discourse mechanisms and anti-patterns across nine areas, seven platform adapters and a ten-dimension style space. Version 1.0.0, MIT, by a Chinese content creator; same author as the in-library gongwen-gbt9704-skill.

What it does

  • Eight workflows behind one SKILL.md router: quick rewrite, deep rewrite with a P0-to-P4 rebuild order (meaning and logic first, structure next, language last), explain, and calibrate
  • Eleven written principles and a default register — first sentence is a fact or judgment, stance stated plainly, concrete words first — with any fancier treatment requiring a contextual reason
  • A knowledge base of discourse mechanisms and anti-patterns across nine areas (register, mechanisms, anti-patterns, rhetoric, pragmatics, discourse, conversation, hosting, writing)
  • Style calibration learns parameters from your real text instead of copying sentences, and seven platform adapters reshape the same text for different publishing surfaces

When to use it

Chinese-language writers and teams who want AI-assisted drafting that reads naturally without chasing humanizer tricks — meeting transcripts into publishable articles, drafts tightened with stated reasons, or a personal style profile learned from your own archive.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/mizzlelover/cida.git
bash cida/install.sh              # copies the skill to ~/.claude/skills/cida

# then just ask:
#   帮我把这篇文章改得更自然
#   把这段会议转录整理成可发表的文章

# Codex / OpenCode: clone into the project root; AGENTS.md is read automatically

Things to know

Built for modern Chinese writing — the knowledge base, register rules and platform adapters are Chinese-first, so it is the wrong tool for English prose. Being instruction-only, output quality depends on how well your model follows the SKILL.md routing; the Calibrate path extracts style parameters from your own texts, so feed it real writing rather than samples. v1.0.0 with the structure still settling — re-read the changelog before upgrading. MIT.
