bazi-reading
bazi-reading reads a chart that has already been cast and writes the natal analysis for a reader.
- When it fires
The prompts CI scores this skill against, on every release.
Fires on
- Interpret the verified bazi_A.json that the calculator just created.
- I pasted all four pillars, fact ledger, score ledger, models, and boundary metadata below. Read the chart.
- My BaZi artifact is already computed — which element is the chart short of, and what does the score ledger base that on?
Stays out of
- I was born 1990-03-14 07:42 in Shanghai. Read my BaZi.
- Compare my existing BaZi with my partner's chart.
The length is a constraint, not a target
It aims for 1,400 to 1,900 characters — enough to open up each structure, each tension and each observation you could act on, rather than a summary anybody can follow and nobody can use.
The floor stops it collapsing into "your chart is short on water". The ceiling stops it saying the same thing three ways.
The natal chart only
Its governing constraint is that it is static: the chart itself, never the luck pillars or annual cycles, and no dated prediction.
The technical evidence is filed separately
Scores, source ids, checksums and the derivation all go to a separate archive file. What the reader receives carries the conclusions and the specific facts behind them, not an output they have to learn to read first.
What it does not do
It does not cast a chart — that is bazi-chart. No compatibility reading, no luck pillars or annual cycles, and no dated prediction.
