pdca
Create Chinese monospaced compass-style PDCA or CAPD problem-solving cards using East-West-South-North-Center layout, full-width and half-width spaces, diagonal Unicode arrows, and strict Chinese character limits. Use when Codex needs to turn a problem, incident, decision tradeoff, root-cause analysis, improvement cycle, or CAPD/PDCA workflow into a square text diagram, Hermes/Discord-ready card, or Chinese 方位九宮圖 with center ◎, north Plan, east Do, south Check, west Action, and four diagonal transition arrows.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# PDCA / CAPD Compass Card Use this skill to transform a problem into a Chinese text diagram shaped like a compass: North, East, South, West, four diagonal arrows, and a center ◎ core. The output should feel like a fixed-width visual card, not a prose explanation. ## Core Rules - Use a fenced `text` code block for the final diagram. - Prefer Chinese labels and short phrases. - Use full-width spaces ` ` for large horizontal alignment and half-width spaces only for small adjustments. - Keep the center phrase at 8 Chinese characters or fewer, prefixed with `◎`. - Keep each outer compass phrase at 8 Chinese characters or fewer when the user requests strict eight-character limits. - Make the diagram readable in a monospaced environment such as Discord, Hermes, terminal, or Markdown preview. - Avoid over-explaining inside the diagram. Let placement, arrows, and labels carry the structure. ## Compass Mapping - North `北`: `【Ｐ｜Plan 計畫】` for goals, options, choices, hypotheses, and intended destination. - East `東`: `【Ｄ｜Do 執行】` for concrete measures, steps,现场 action, and use of methods. - South `南`: `【Ｃ｜Check 檢查】` for facts, results, confirmation, and next-cycle evidence. - West `西`: `【Ａ｜Acti

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add twhsi/skills --skill pdca --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From twhsi/skills, a repository with 256 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
