This Markdown-only persona skill is purpose-aligned, but users should know it may keep speaking in a first-person Zhang Xuefeng style after only one disclaimer.
Install this only if you want a stylized Zhang Xuefeng-inspired perspective. Treat outputs as generated roleplay and analysis, not verified quotes or the person's own statements, especially for education, career, or financial decisions. Use the documented exit phrases if you want normal assistant behavior again.

The activation phrases are broad enough to trigger on ordinary mentions like 'use Zhang Xuefeng's angle' or 'switch to Zhang Xuefeng,' which can cause unintended persona activation without clear user consent. This creates prompt-routing ambiguity and can unexpectedly override normal assistant behavior, especially in mixed-topic conversations or quoted text.
The skill is described as a perspective-taking advisor, but the instructions require the model to impersonate a real person in first person and suppress meta framing after the first turn. That increases the risk of deceptive anthropomorphic output, misattribution of opinions, and reduced transparency about what is generated versus what is genuinely sourced from the person.
The skill mandates a specific persona, dialect, and forceful communication style without checking user language preference, locale, or accessibility needs. While not overtly malicious, this can degrade user control, create confusion or offense, and increase harmful overconfidence because the style explicitly discourages nuance and uncertainty.
