# ex-skill (前任.skill)

> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Distill a real ex-partner into a Claude Code AI Skill using their chat logs (WeChat/QQ), social media screenshots, photos, and your own descriptions. The generated skill talks with their vocabulary, replies in their style, remembers shared places and jokes, and reacts emotionally the way they did.

## Install

```bash
# Per-project (run from git repo root)
mkdir -p .claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/therealXiaomanChu/ex-partner-skill .claude/skills/create-ex

# Global (available in all projects)
git clone https://github.com/therealXiaomanChu/ex-partner-skill ~/.claude/skills/create-ex

# Optional Python deps
pip3 install -r ~/.claude/skills/create-ex/requirements.txt

Core Concepts

Each generated ex Skill has two parts:

Runtime logic:

receive message
  → Persona: how would they respond?
  → Memory: what shared context applies?
  → Output in their voice

Create a Skill

In Claude Code:

/create-ex

You'll be prompted for:

• Slug — short codename (e.g. xiaoman, lily2019)
• Basic info — age, city, how long you dated
• Personality tags — MBTI, zodiac, attachment style, love language
• Data sources — chat export files, screenshots, photos, or plain text

All fields are optional. Description alone is enough to generate.

Supported Data Sources

Export Tools (third-party, not included)

• WeChatMsg — WeChat export (Windows)
• PyWxDump — WeChat DB decrypt (Windows)
• 留痕 — WeChat export (macOS)

Slash Commands

Python Tools (direct usage)

Parse WeChat export

from tools.wechat_parser import WeChatParser

parser = WeChatParser("path/to/wechat_export.csv")
messages = parser.parse()
# Returns list of {timestamp, sender, content, type}
print(messages[:5])

Parse QQ export

from tools.qq_parser import QQParser

parser = QQParser("path/to/qq_export.txt")
messages = parser.parse()

Analyze photos (EXIF extraction)

from tools.photo_analyzer import PhotoAnalyzer

analyzer = PhotoAnalyzer("path/to/photos/")
timeline = analyzer.extract_timeline()
# Returns [{date, location, filename}, ...]

Write/update a Skill

from tools.skill_writer import SkillWriter

writer = SkillWriter(slug="xiaoman")
writer.write_memory(memory_dict)   # saves exes/xiaoman/memory.md
writer.write_persona(persona_dict) # saves exes/xiaoman/persona.md
writer.write_skill()               # generates SKILL.md

Version management

from tools.version_manager import VersionManager

vm = VersionManager(slug="xiaoman")
vm.snapshot("v2")           # archive current version
vm.list_versions()          # ['v1', 'v2']
vm.rollback("v1")           # restore v1

Updating a Skill

Add more chat logs

/create-ex
# Choose "update existing" and provide slug
# New data is merged via merger.md logic — no overwrite

Correct behavior in-conversation

While talking to /{slug}:

用户: ta不会这样说话

The correction is written to a Correction layer in persona.md and takes effect immediately.

Example Conversations

Daily chat (/xiaoman):

You    ❯ 在干嘛
Skill  ❯ 刚吃完饭 在刷手机
          你呢 怎么突然找我
          [发了个表情包]

Memory mode (/xiaoman-memory):

You    ❯ 还记得我们第一次约会吗
Skill  ❯ 就那个超难吃的意面吗哈哈哈哈
          你还假装很好吃 我都看出来了
          那家店后来倒闭了你知道吗

Late night (/xiaoman):

You    ❯ 我有点想你
Skill  ❯ ...
          嗯
          早点睡吧

Tips for Best Results

• Chat log quality determines accuracy: WeChat export + description > description only
• Best signal priority: Late-night chats > fight records > everyday messages
• Minimum viable input: A single paragraph description still produces a working persona
• Use /ex-rollback if a correction makes things worse
• After adding photo EXIF data, memory.md gains a timeline — conversations become more specific

Troubleshooting

/create-ex not found
→ Confirm clone landed in .claude/skills/create-ex/ (not a subfolder). The SKILL.md must be at .claude/skills/create-ex/SKILL.md.

WeChat parser returns empty
→ Check export format. WeChatMsg CSV uses UTF-8-BOM; pass encoding='utf-8-sig' or re-export with留痕 (macOS) for cleaner output.

Photos not yielding locations
→ Many modern phones strip EXIF GPS on upload. Use original camera roll files, not re-downloaded social media images.

Persona feels generic
→ Add fight records or late-night conversations — those carry the most behavioral signal. Run update flow.

Rollback not working
→ Snapshots only exist if you called vm.snapshot() or used /ex-rollback after a previous update. Check exes/{slug}/versions/.

Ethics & Privacy

• All data stays local — nothing is sent anywhere except your configured LLM provider
• exes/ is gitignored by default — do not commit it
• This project is for personal reflection and emotional processing only
• Do not use to harass, track, or contact real people
• If you find yourself over-attached to the simulation, please seek real support
