iMandalArt 2.2
Purpose
Use this skill to turn any source material into one iMandalArt 2.2 pure-text 3x3 card.
iMandalArt 2.2 is:
- One center idea.
- Eight orthogonal surrounding angles.
- A pure-text 3x3 card with hard line breaks.
- Three lines per cell: a short title row and two content rows.
- A center axis that displays `◎◎◎◎◎`, one five-Han-character center line, then `◎◎◎◎◎` again.
- A note-friendly thinking object for TheBrain, Hermes, Discord, Codex, other LLM chat surfaces, or clipboard use.
iMandalArt 2.2 is not:
- A Markdown table.
- A visible-border PE2 card.
- An HTML-only visual artifact.
- An 81-cell Mandala.
- A long explanatory essay.
Default Deliverable
Default to an iMandalArt 2.2 pure-text hard-line card.
1. Read the source material first. If the user provides a file path, JSON, note, article, or pasted text, inspect the content before generating. 2. Identify the central thought and compress it into one five-Han-character center line. 3. Orthogonally decompose the material into eight surrounding angles. Avoid synonym-only repeats. 4. Give each surrounding angle a four-Han-character title directly prefixed by `Ⓐ` through `Ⓗ`. 5. Write two modern, plain-language five-Han-character lines for each surrounding cell. 6. Render the center as `◎◎◎◎◎`, one five-Han-character center line, then `◎◎◎◎◎`. 7. Render the final answer as the 11-line 3x3 card only.
For LLM chat surfaces such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Codex, or Discord, wrap the card in a fenced `text` code block so hard line breaks and full-width spaces survive rendering.
For TheBrain/Cerebro direct note insertion or clipboard-only workflows, emit the raw 11-line card without a Markdown fence.
Three Kings 2.2 Integration
iMandalArt is the **compression king** in the three-skill publishing chain:
`source material -> iMandalArt 2.2 eight angles -> BIRD 2.2 addresses and Routes -> A4 Booklet 2.2`
- Compress one source into one center and eight orthogonal retrieval angles.
- Preserve の字型 identities so BIRD indexes and booklet Routes can reuse the same positions.
- Pass the full 11-line card, center identity, source references, and ordering mode to downstream skills.
2.2 Card Contract
The final card has exactly 11 physical text lines:
Ⓐ四字標題 Ⓑ四字標題 Ⓒ四字標題
五字內容一 五字內容一 五字內容一
五字內容二 五字內容二 五字內容二
Ⓓ四字標題 ◎◎◎◎◎ Ⓔ四字標題
五字內容一 中心五字句 五字內容一
五字內容二 ◎◎◎◎◎ 五字內容二
Ⓕ四字標題 Ⓖ四字標題 Ⓗ四字標題
五字內容一 五字內容一 五字內容一
五字內容二 五字內容二 五字內容二
Line rules:
- Line 1, 5, and 9 are title lines.
- Lines 2, 3, 10, and 11 contain three five-Han-character surrounding phrases.
- Line 6 contains left and right five-Han-character surrounding phrases plus one five-Han-character center phrase.
- Line 7 contains left and right five-Han-character surrounding phrases plus the center marker `◎◎◎◎◎`.
- Line 4 and line 8 are completely blank.
- Use one full-width space ` ` between columns.
- The first visible character of the card is `Ⓐ`.
- The center title cell on line 5 is exactly `◎◎◎◎◎`.
- The center cell on line 7 is also exactly `◎◎◎◎◎` unless the user explicitly asks for a second center sentence.
- Do not add explanations above or below the card unless the user explicitly asks.
Cell Rules
Surrounding title rows:
- Use the labels `Ⓐ`, `Ⓑ`, `Ⓒ`, `Ⓓ`, `Ⓔ`, `Ⓕ`, `Ⓖ`, `Ⓗ` in that order.
- Do not put a space after the label.
- Use exactly four Han characters after the label when possible, e.g. `Ⓐ輸入來源`.
- Titles should work like index labels, not sentences.
- Titles may preserve a functional role, but must be rewritten to fit the material.
Content rows:
- Every surrounding content phrase must be exactly five Han characters.
- The center line on line 6 must be exactly five Han characters.
- The center line on line 7 should be `◎◎◎◎◎` by default.
- Do not use English, digits, punctuation, emoji, or spaces in surrounding content phrases or the line 6 center phrase.
- Rewrite terms such as AI, Agent, FIRE, Hermes, JSON, API, and app names into compact Chinese when possible.
- Write in modern plain language. Avoid over-classical phrasing.
- If source material is thin, infer responsibly from the surrounding meaning.
Center cell:
- Use `◎◎◎◎◎` only as the displayed center title.
- Internally choose a specific center title of about five Han characters to guide the card.
- The line 6 center content must summarize and integrate the eight surrounding angles.
- The line 7 center marker creates a visual axis and should remain `◎◎◎◎◎` in 2.2 default output.
- The center should not repeat a surrounding title.
Orthogonal Eight-Angle Map
Use this order unless the user gives a different map:
- `Ⓐ` source / trigger: Where does this begin?
- `Ⓑ` input / material: What is being read or transformed?
- `Ⓒ` recognition / method: How is the pattern identified?
- `Ⓓ` output / expression: What form does it become?
- `Ⓔ` process / thread: What sequence makes it work?
- `Ⓕ` storage / place: Where is it saved or remembered?
- `Ⓖ` constraint / avoid: What must be avoided?
- `Ⓗ` next action: What is the next concrete move?
の字型 Ordering
Use this layout when the user asks for `の字型`, `◊字型`, a 64+8+1 index, or explicitly supplies the same spatial order. `の字型` is the name of the ordering pattern; `◎` remains the visible center marker.
For a directory or route card, place the lettered cells exactly as follows:
Ⓕ Ⓒ Ⓖ
Ⓑ ◎ Ⓓ
Ⓔ Ⓐ Ⓗ
For the eight keywords inside any child nine-grid, place the nu
