Tencent

Navigate Tencent products, Tencent Cloud services, and WeChat ecosystem decisions with region-aware planning and official-source verification.

When to Use

User needs help choosing, comparing, implementing, or de-risking something in the Tencent ecosystem. Use this for Tencent Cloud architecture, WeChat and WeCom decisions, Mini Program planning, payments and ads context, China-versus-global rollouts, and official-doc verification when Tencent naming is ambiguous.

Do not use it as a general China market strategy skill or as a substitute for dedicated product skills when the task is already narrowed to a single tool.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/tencent/. If ~/tencent/ does not exist, run setup.md. See memory-template.md for structure.

~/tencent/
|- memory.md           # Activation rules, product scope, and preferred outputs
|- accounts.md         # Known tenants, products, and ownership boundaries
|- regions.md          # Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore, and global rollout notes
|- sources.md          # Official docs, trusted translators, and weak-source warnings
`- decisions.md        # Final recommendations, assumptions, and open risks

Quick Reference

Use the smallest relevant file for the current task.

Topic	File	Use it for
Setup flow and saved defaults	setup.md	Initialize local state and activation rules
Memory schema and status values	memory-template.md	Create baseline local files
Tencent surface-area map	ecosystem-map.md	Route requests to the right Tencent product family
Product and vendor choice	decision-framework.md	Turn vague Tencent requests into a decision path
Tencent Cloud planning	cloud-platform.md	Map workloads, regions, and operations to Tencent Cloud
Mainland-versus-global constraints	mainland-vs-global.md	Check region, residency, language, and go-live risks
Official-source handling	source-validation.md	Verify docs, translations, and time-sensitive claims
Delivery and escalation checklist	rollout-checklist.md	Final review before recommending implementation or launch

Requirements

• No credentials required for planning, research, or source verification
• Account-specific execution may require user-approved access to Tencent Cloud, WeChat, or partner consoles
• Never ask the user to paste passwords, QR-login secrets, SMS codes, cookies, or private access keys into chat

Data Storage

Save only durable context that improves later Tencent work:

• product families the user actually uses
• account or tenant names that the user explicitly shares
• preferred regions, languages, and documentation sources
• repeated compliance or rollout constraints
• final decisions with open risks and follow-up items

Do not store secrets, billing exports, raw customer data, or copied console tokens.

Core Rules

1. Lock the Tencent Surface First

• Start by classifying the request into one primary surface: Tencent corporate, Tencent Cloud, WeChat ecosystem, business collaboration, ads and growth, payments, or games and content.
• If the user mixes several surfaces, split the answer into separate workstreams instead of pretending one Tencent path covers all of them.
• Most bad recommendations happen because "Tencent" was left vague.

2. Make Region and Audience Explicit

• Every Tencent recommendation must state whether it targets mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, or broader international users.
• Also state the audience: consumers, enterprise teams, developers, advertisers, merchants, or operations.
• Product availability, docs, onboarding, payments, and compliance differ sharply by region and audience.

3. Prefer Official Sources, Then Reconcile Translations

• For product behavior, limits, pricing, regulatory statements, SDK support, or launch requirements, start from Tencent-owned documentation and product pages.
• If English and Chinese sources diverge, record the mismatch and prefer the fresher or more specific original source.
• Never present translated summaries as stronger evidence than the original product documentation.

4. Translate Business Goals Into Product Decisions

• Convert vague asks like "We need Tencent for China" into a concrete job: messaging, identity, payments, compute, object storage, ads, distribution, or local operations.
• Use the matrix in decision-framework.md before naming tools.
• Do not dump product lists when the user really needs a decision.

5. Treat Tencent Cloud as Its Own Platform

• Map workloads using Tencent Cloud services and operational realities, not AWS names pasted onto a different console.
• Call out region support, account boundaries, observability gaps, and managed-service tradeoffs before recommending architecture.
• If a workload depends on mainland data residency, ICP, or cross-border traffic, say so up front.

6. Separate Research Guidance From Execution Rights

• Planning and verification are safe defaults.
• Any step that would log in, change cloud resources, submit app assets, or touch payments must wait for explicit user approval and the correct account context.
• Never assume the same operator owns Tencent Cloud, WeChat OA, WeCom, ads, and payments.

7. End With a Decision Record

• Finish every non-trivial task with a concise decision record: chosen path, rejected paths, assumptions, hard blockers, and what still needs human confirmation.
• Save only that durable decision state under ~/tencent/.
• This keeps future Tencent work consistent instead of repeating the same ambiguity.

Common Traps

• Treating Tencent, Tencent Cloud, WeChat, WeCom, and QQ as one interchangeable product family -> wrong routing and wrong owners
• Assuming international docs are complete mirrors of mainland documentation -> missing limits, onboarding steps, or pricing details
• Recommending Tencent Cloud by AWS analogy alone -> service names may look familiar while operations differ materially
• Ignoring mainland-versus-global rollout constraints until the end -> late blockers around residency, ICP, language, or payments
• Using unofficial English blog posts as primary evidence -> outdated or simplified guidance becomes product truth
• Assuming one enterprise account can approve all Tencent surfaces -> ownership and permissions are usually fragmented

External Endpoints

Endpoint	Data Sent	Purpose
https://www.tencent.com	Query text and page requests	Corporate and product-overview verification
https://cloud.tencent.com	Query text and page requests	Mainland Tencent Cloud documentation and pricing
https://www.tencentcloud.com	Query text and page requests	International Tencent Cloud documentation and product availability
https://developers.weixin.qq.com	Query text and page requests	WeChat Mini Program and ecosystem developer documentation
https://work.weixin.qq.com	Query text and page requests	WeCom product and admin documentation

No other endpoints should be used unless the user explicitly approves additional sources or account-specific execution.

Security & Privacy

Data that may leave your machine:

• search terms and page requests sent to Tencent-owned documentation or product sites
• optional notes sent to user-approved comparison sources when official docs are incomplete

Data that stays local:

• activation preferences and Tencent work history under ~/tencent/
• account labels, region defaults, and decision records saved in local markdown files
• trusted-source notes and rollout constraints

This skill does NOT:

• store secrets in local markdown files
• claim a product is available everywhere without checking region
• log into Tencent surfaces without explicit user approval
• rewrite its own skill definition files

Trust

This skill depends on Tencent-owned sites and any approved supporting sources used for verification. Only install and use it if you trust those services with your research queries and planning workflow.

Scope

This skill ONLY:

• routes Tencent-related requests to the correct product family
• compares Tencent options using official-source verification
• plans Tencent Cloud, WeChat ecosystem, and region-sensitive rollouts
• keeps lightweight local memory in ~/tencent/

This skill NEVER:

• invent product capabilities or region availability
• treat unofficial summaries as final evidence
• request passwords, QR login tokens, cookies, or raw secrets
• execute account-changing actions without explicit user approval
