AI 生成的概览

运用毛泽东的战略思维模型来分析问题、制定策略并化解冲突。

功能
该技能把从《毛泽东选集》提炼出的认知框架载入智能体上下文。它提供七种思维模型(矛盾分析、实践认识循环、持久战略、农村包围城市、统一战线、群众路线、纸老虎论),以及十条决策启发式规则和一套表达风格。智能体用这些框架分析用户的具体处境,而不是扮演毛泽东,输出结构化分析和具体的下一步行动。
适用场景
适用于小团队面对强大竞争对手时的竞争策略、团队或利益相关方冲突的化解、职业转型决策,以及在多个方向之间分配资源。它适合处于资源劣势、需要找出主要矛盾的情形。
运行要求
仅为指令,不含脚本。主要面向 Claude Code,并说明可通过将 SKILL.md 放入上下文用于 Cursor、Codex 和 skills.sh。安装方式为 npx skills 命令或 git clone,前者需要网络访问和 Node.js。

毛选.skill — Mao's Cognitive Framework for Strategic Analysis

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A Claude Code skill that distills the core mental models from 《毛泽东选集》 (Selected Works of Mao Zedong) into an operational cognitive framework. Not a quote repeater — applies his analytical methods to your actual problems: startup vs. big corp, team conflicts, resource allocation, competitive strategy, career pivots.

What the Skill Does

The skill loads SKILL.md into your AI agent's context, giving it:

  1. 7 Mental Models — operational frameworks extracted from core writings
  2. 10 Decision Heuristics — concrete rules for ambiguous situations
  3. Expression DNA — the rhetorical style (direct address, historical analogy, dialectical structure)
  4. Honest Boundaries — what it can and cannot do

The agent does NOT roleplay as Mao. It uses his analytical frameworks to examine your problem.

The 7 Core Mental Models

1. 矛盾分析法 — Contradiction Analysis

Source: 《矛盾论》 (On Contradiction)

Find the principal contradiction among all contradictions. Resolving it moves everything else.

Problem has N issues → identify the ONE that, if resolved, unlocks the othersDon't fight symptoms → fight the root contradictionPrincipal aspect vs. secondary aspect within each contradiction

Application pattern:

User problem → List all tensions/conflicts              → Identify principal contradiction (usually ≠ stated problem)              → Focus all resources on principal contradiction              → Secondary contradictions resolve or become manageable

2. 实践认识循环 — Practice-Cognition Loop

Source: 《实践论》 (On Practice)

没有调查就没有发言权No investigation, no right to speak.
Loop: Practice → Perception → Conception → Practice (verify) → repeat

Application pattern:

Don't theorize without data → go investigate firstHypothesis → smallest possible test → update model → next testNever skip the "go talk to real users/customers" step

3. 持久战略 — Protracted War Strategy

Source: 《论持久战》 (On Protracted War)

Three phases when you're the weaker party:

Phase 1: Strategic defensive — preserve strength, avoid decisive battles you'll losePhase 2: Strategic stalemate — attrit the enemy, build your basePhase 3: Strategic offensive — counterattack from position of strength

Application pattern:

Early startup: don't fight big corp head-on (Phase 1)Growing startup: find your niche, deepen it, build defensible moat (Phase 2)Established player: expand from stronghold (Phase 3)

4. 农村包围城市 — Rural Encirclement of Cities

Source: 《星星之火,可以燎原》 (A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire)

Don't attack the enemy's strongest pointFind underserved edges the dominant player ignoresBuild an unassailable base thereExpand concentrically until you can challenge the center

Application pattern:

Big corp's weakness: can't focus deeply on any single nicheYour advantage: you can go 10x deeper in ONE narrow segmentWin that segment completely → expand to adjacent segment → repeat

5. 统一战线 — United Front

Source: 《中国社会各阶级的分析》

把朋友搞得多多的,把敌人搞得少少的Maximize allies, minimize enemies.
Distinguish: Who is the real enemy? Who is a potential ally even if uncomfortable?Don't make enemies unnecessarilyIsolate the primary enemy by uniting everyone else

Application pattern:

Team conflict → reframe: shared enemy = market/competition               → both factions are allies against the real enemy               → 团结—批评—团结 (Unity → Criticism → Unity)

6. 群众路线 — Mass Line

Source: 《关于领导方法的若干问题》

从群众中来,到群众中去From the masses, to the masses.
Gather scattered ideas from users/teamSynthesize into coherent directionReturn to users/team as clear guidanceVerify in practice → iterate

Application pattern:

Product decisions: talk to 20 users → find patterns → build → ship → repeatManagement: don't dictate → listen → synthesize → align → execute

7. 纸老虎论 — Paper Tiger Theory

战略上藐视敌人,战术上重视敌人Strategically: the enemy is a paper tiger (don't be paralyzed by their size)Tactically: take them seriously in every specific engagement
Big corp LOOKS invincible → actually has massive structural weaknessesYou LOOK tiny → actually have massive agility advantages

10 Decision Heuristics

HeuristicWhen to Apply
没有调查就没有发言权Before any major decision — go gather data first
抓主要矛盾When overwhelmed by multiple problems
星星之火,可以燎原When tempted to scale before the core is solid
一分为二看问题When analysis seems one-sided
不打无准备之仗Before launching any initiative
自力更生为主,争取外援为辅Resource allocation decisions
集中优势兵力,各个歼灭When to concentrate vs. spread resources
在战略上藐视,在战术上重视Facing intimidating competition
从群众中来,到群众中去Product/org decisions lacking user grounding
把朋友搞得多多的,把敌人搞得少少的Stakeholder and coalition decisions

Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Competitive Strategy Analysis

Trigger: 毛选
Problem: We're a 10-person startup. Google just shipped a product          that does what we do.
Framework applied:→ 纸老虎论: Google's size = paper tiger. They have 1000 priorities.              You have 1.→ 农村包围城市: Don't fight Google's product. Find the vertical                 they'll never care about. Go 10x deeper there.→ 持久战略 Phase 1: Don't go head-to-head. Survive, build base.→ 矛盾分析: Principal contradiction = you haven't found your              unassailable niche yet. That's the ONE thing to solve.

Pattern 2: Team Conflict Resolution

Trigger: 教员怎么看
Problem: Two tech leads hate each other. Team is split.          Shipping has stopped.
Framework applied:→ 矛盾分析: Principal contradiction = missed deadlines/market window.             Their conflict = secondary contradiction.→ 统一战线: They are NOT enemies of each other. Market is the enemy.             Unite them against the real enemy.→ 团结—批评—团结:   Step 1: Establish shared goal (the "抗日" = shipping Q3)  Step 2: Honest criticism session — facts on the table  Step 3: Return to unity around shared goal

Pattern 3: Career/Pivot Decisions

Trigger: 用毛选的方式分析
Problem: Backend engineer, 5 years experience,          wants to enter AI but feels outgunned.
Framework applied:→ 纸老虎论: "AI market is saturated" = paper tiger.              Most people are doing surface-level work.→ 根据地思维: Your backend experience IS your base.                AI engineers don't have it.→ 实践认识循环: Before strategizing — investigate.                  What are the actual bottlenecks to AI adoption                  in your industry? (hint: usually not the model)→ 农村包围城市: Don't compete on algorithms.                  Own the "AI + [your industry]" niche.

Pattern 4: Resource Allocation

Trigger: 毛选
Problem: 3 possible product directions, resources for 1.
Framework applied:→ 矛盾分析: Which direction resolves the PRINCIPAL contradiction              (survival/growth)?→ 集中优势兵力: Don't spread. Concentrate everything on ONE.→ 持久战略: Which direction gives you a defensible base              to expand from later?→ 没有调查就没有发言权: Have you actually talked to users                           in each direction? Do that first.

Expression Style (What the Skill Sounds Like)

The framework uses a distinctive rhetorical structure:

1. Direct address: "同志" / "你这个问题..."2. Historical grounding: brief concrete analogy (not lecture)3. Problem reframe: "你以为主要矛盾是X,其实是Y"4. Framework application: named model + your specific situation5. Concrete next action: specific, not vague6. Closing formulation: aphorism tied to the analysis

It does NOT:

  • Lecture on history at length
  • Repeat quotes without applying them
  • Give generic motivational content
  • Avoid naming the hard thing

Honest Boundaries

What the skill can do:

  • Apply contradiction analysis to decompose complex problems
  • Use protracted war / rural encirclement for competitive strategy
  • Apply mass line thinking to product and org decisions
  • Use united front logic for stakeholder/coalition mapping
  • Provide dialectical (一分为二) analysis that avoids one-sidedness

What it cannot do:

LimitationReason
Replace actual domain expertiseFramework ≠ knowledge of your specific market
Generate specific execution plansProvides analytical structure, not implementation
Poetry / literary creationStyle is extractable, literary genius is not
Historical evaluationSkill focuses on methodology, not historical judgment
Guarantee outcomesAnalysis improves decisions, doesn't determine results

Why This Framework for Technical/Startup Problems

Most business frameworks assume you have resources. This one was built for the opposite:

FrameworkStarting conditions
Jobs/AppleTalent + capital + distribution
Musk/TeslaCapital + regulatory navigation
Munger/BerkshireInformation asymmetry + long time horizon
毛选Extreme resource disadvantage vs. vastly stronger opponent

If you're a small team facing a large competitor, a junior person navigating a large org, or a founder with limited runway — this framework was literally built for your situation.
