Search and study TCM course material, compare formulas, and trace supporting PDF evidence. It fits lesson review, note work, and source-based study questions.
npx skills add JuneYaooo/nihaisha-nishi-tcm --skill nihaisha -a claude-codeWhat nihaisha does
nihaisha handles study requests around TCM course references. It can locate topics, organize lesson notes, compare formulas for learning, review six-channel material, and separate course claims from general reasoning.
The skill starts with references/index.md and then loads the relevant Markdown modules. It uses scripts/search_pdf_evidence.py and scripts/search_screenshots.py when PDF pages or visual evidence are needed. RAG mode is temporarily unavailable, so requests use the lightweight reference modules instead. That makes it unsuitable for diagnosis, prescriptions, dosage guidance, or self-administered acupuncture.
What it helps with
- find course references by symptom or formula
- compare formulas for a study review
- trace a claim to PDF evidence
- build a lesson review plan
- locate screenshots that support course material
Example prompts for the agent
- “Use nihaisha to find a six-channel review in the course references.”
- “Compare the formulas in nihaisha for a study discussion.”
- “Find PDF evidence in nihaisha for an acupuncture claim.”
