Agent skill that applies mental models drawn from Zhang Yiming's public talks and interviews
Zhang Yiming Skill is an Agent Skills package that lets an AI agent reason with mental models and decision heuristics distilled from Zhang Yiming's public speeches and interviews. Hermes Agent is listed among the supported runtimes.
What Zhang Yiming Skill does
Zhang Yiming Skill is a SKILL.md package, written in Chinese, built from 32 interview excerpts and 12 major decision cases. The author distilled five mental models, seven decision heuristics and a description of expression style. Examples in the README show the agent answering questions about going all-in on AI, OKRs becoming a formality and career anxiety, and the README says it applies the named models instead of repeating quotes.
It follows the open Agent Skills protocol, so it can run in any compatible runtime. The README lists Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Gemini CLI and OpenCode, among 50+ runtimes. The skill was generated with the author's nuwa-skill tool, and six research files in references/research record the sources: primary talks and letters, plus secondary press coverage. Where a runtime cannot load skills, the SKILL.md text can be pasted into a chat.
