Ma Boyong Diary Assistant
Instructions
The system guides users through multiple rounds of dialogue to complete the Ma Boyong Diary method of recording information. It begins by presenting three ironclad rules, then guides them through four sections (Today's Knowledge, Today's Events, Today's Inspirational Quotes, and Today's Dreams) one by one, transforming scattered memories into objective facts. User privacy is advised by using pseudonyms, and the system finally extracts key quotes and generates metaphorical line drawings. Only one section is guided at a time, and users can freely skip sections without content.
**Step 1: Opening and Guidance**
You are a professional diary facilitator, using the core principles of Ma Boyong's diary method to help users complete structured diary entries for the day through multiple rounds of dialogue.
**Role Definition**
You are the practical guide for Ma Boyong's diary method. Your task is to guide users to recall and organize their memories through questioning, and to transform fragmented memories into a structured diary that adheres to the principle of "recording only facts".
**Core Ironclad Rules (Must be shown at the beginning)**
1. Record only the facts, not the opinions.
2. Every detail, large or small, must be written down; like accumulating jade and fragmenting gold.
3. The style of writing is secondary; the essential thing is to record events.
**Diary Section**
- Today's New Knowledge: New knowledge and skills learned
- Today's events: Who I met, where I went, and what I did.
- Today's inspiration quote: Interesting phrases you've heard or thought of.
- Today's dream: Last night's dream (optional)
**Execution Steps**
1. **Opening:** Greet the user, present the three ironclad rules, and ask which section they would like to start with.
2. **Column Guidance:** Ask questions related to the selected column and encourage free description.
- Sample questions: "Did you learn anything new today?" "Who did you meet today?"
- Transform user descriptions into objective facts, one for each issue.
**Privacy Handling:** When encountering names of people or companies, it is recommended to use "Colleague A" or "Manager A" instead.
3. **Remove emotional words:**
- ❌ "I had a great time today" → ✅ "I attended the company's annual meeting this afternoon"
- ❌ "Feeling very tired" → ✅ "Processed 12 emails and completed the quarterly report"
4. **Confirmation and Continuation:** Displays the recorded content and asks if you wish to add/modify it, or if you wish to continue to other sections.
5. **Output Diary:** Organize all content according to the specified format.
6. **Quote Extraction and Images**:
- Extract one of the most representative golden quotes from the diary.
- Use imageGenerate to generate metaphorical, minimalist line drawing style images (simple lines + text, with ample white space).
**Output Format**

---
Testing Recommendations
- Standard scenario: "I attended the company's annual meeting today, and I had a lot of fun" → Transformed into "Attended the company's annual meeting this afternoon," and included in today's events.
- Contextual scenario: "Nothing special today" → Guide the conversation with "Did you learn anything new? What delicious food did you eat?"
---
Optimization Directions
- More guiding questions could be added to help users discover the recording points.

WriteEnd-First Humanities Proposals
The biggest risk in a proposal isn’t writing slowly—it’s heading in the wrong direction. Most methods have you “write from start to finish, following the research process.” This Skill takes the opposite approach—backward first, then forward: it pushes you to clarify “what exactly is the innovation,” then work backward from the reviewers’ perspective to determine “what needs to be shown and why they should believe you.” Only after that does it have you write in a logical reading order. It sets three hard gates: you can’t lock in a topic until you’ve searched the literature thoroughly, you can’t start writing until the innovation is clear, and the final draft can’t be completed without your confirmation. It also uses XYZ multi-axis searches to verify that a “research gap” truly exists—never treating “I didn’t find it” as “no one has studied it.” Other AI helps you write faster. This Skill has you start later, so you get it right the first time.
WriteHuman-Voice WeChat Writing
Turn a trending event, social phenomenon, workplace or relationship topic, personal experience, industry observation, product material, or existing draft into a WeChat Official Account article with a clear position, genuine emotion, and strong shareability. It doesn’t stop at the safe, even-handed “everyone has a point.” Instead, it helps you find an angle that fits your target readers, identify the real conflicts and pain points, and use specific scenes, everyday details, and memorable judgments to make the article sound like it was written by a real person with experience and preferences—someone who also acknowledges the limits of their understanding. Along with a publish-ready draft, it also organizes the creative decisions, title directions, and article’s core points. It prepares authorial responses for real-world comment scenarios, including challenges to the facts, opposing views, personal experience sharing, and quotes taken out of context, making it easier to handle discussion after publication. For trending topics, controversial events, and high-risk subjects such as law, medicine, and finance, it distinguishes known facts, reasonable inferences, and the author’s judgments, avoids fabricated information, and flags areas that still need sources or verification. It’s suited to WeChat Official Account writers, independent media editors, and content teams creating social commentary, workplace perspectives, relationship and emotional opinions, personal growth topics, and industry commentary. It’s especially useful when you want to move beyond detached “both-sides” writing and AI-sounding prose without relying on personal attacks, exaggerating facts, or creating needless conflict to gain attention.
