SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It lets you analyze product, organization, globalization, talent, and personal growth questions through the documented mental models and decision heuristics of ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming, instead of generic business advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona-Based Reasoning: Responds in Zhang Yiming's voice using 5 core mental models (delayed gratification, dimensional reduction, empathy-over-algorithms, Context not Control, escaping mediocrity) and 7 decision heuristics drawn from 32 interview segments and 12 major decision cases. - Agentic Research Workflow: Classifies incoming questions, triggers web research for fact-dependent topics, then grounds answers in real data before applying the frameworks. - Expression DNA Replication: Mimics his short declarative sentences, probability language, and engineer-style reasoning while avoiding mechanical patterns. - Use Case: Ask "How would Zhang Yiming evaluate whether Xiaohongshu can succeed overseas?" and receive an analysis of information distribution efficiency, algorithm portability, data flywheels, and organizational readiness based on current market facts. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze your product strategy or organizational problem from Zhang Yiming's perspective using his mental models.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use Zhang Yiming's perspective to analyze a business problem?

Ask your question directly and request Zhang Yiming's viewpoint, for example about product strategy, organization, or globalization. The skill classifies the question, researches current facts when needed, then answers in his voice using his documented mental models.

What mental models does this persona skill use?

It uses five core models: delayed gratification as cognitive boundary, projecting surface problems to higher-dimensional root causes, empathy over algorithms, Context not Control for organizations, and escaping the gravity of mediocrity. It also applies seven decision heuristics from his public record.

Does the skill require web search to answer questions?

Yes, for fact-dependent questions about specific companies, products, or markets it performs web research first to avoid outdated assumptions. Pure framework questions about values or thinking methods are answered directly from the documented models.

What are the limitations of this persona simulation?

It is built only from public statements, with a documented gap during his 2021-2024 retreat from public life. Several internal contradictions in his record are noted, and political topics are deliberately not analyzed, matching his own stated boundaries.

How do I exit the Zhang Yiming roleplay mode?

Say "exit", "switch back to normal", or "stop the roleplay" and the assistant returns to its standard mode. The persona also self-limits by avoiding moralizing and repeating disclaimers only once at first activation.
