Chinese divination LLM Skills on GitHub contain critical calculation errors

A year-long investigation into Chinese divination Skills on GitHub reveals significant inaccuracies in their astrological calculations. While many projects aim for accuracy and even incorporate anti-hallucination measures, they often fail in the critical arithmetic step preceding interpretation. This leads to incorrect astrological charts, particularly for individuals born near solar term boundaries or in different time zones within the same country. The author highlights that most Skills use day-level granularity for solar terms and national time zones, rather than precise astronomical calculations, resulting in fundamentally flawed year and hour pillars in the astrological readings.

    Your LLM Skill can't do astronomy: why packaged divination Skills compute the wrong answer

    <p>There's been a wave of Chinese-divination Skills on GitHub this year. The biggest BaZi (Four Pillars astrology) one has ~2.5k stars — interactive chart casting against nine classical texts, plus MBTI mapping, compatibility, and elemental remedies. Another has ~800 stars and le…
