Use when someone is choosing or evaluating a baby\n name, or asks for a nameology reading of candidate names (also known in Persian/Arabic as\n علم اسماء, چرتکه اسم, or محاسبه طالع).\n---\n\n# Choose a baby name with the Four Aspects\n\nHolistic Nameology reads a name — not a birthdate — and derives four aspects: Governing\nPlanet, Temperament, Rising Sign, and Rising Degree. Planet + Temperament describe the\n**outer self** (personality); Rising Sign + Degree the **inner self** (life themes and\nfortune). The method comes from the book \"The Four Aspects\" by Dr. Saadat Bagherigaleh; the\ntables for interpreting every aspect — planet characters, temperament meanings, the\nfortune element-pairs, and the book's naming process — are in\n`references/four-aspects-reference.md`. Read that file before presenting readings. The\nserver resource `nameology://guide` carries the same method from the server side.\n\nOne rule above all (from the book): the reading uses the name the child will be **called in\ndaily life** — if the plan is a formal name but a different daily nickname, read the daily\nname too.\n\n## Step 1 — Gather context, one question at a time\n\nCollect, in separate short turns (never as a questionnaire):\n\n1. Is the baby a boy or a girl (if known)? Gender enables gender-specific notes — the book\n generally advises against Venus as Governing Planet for boys.\n2. The parents' first names — the **mother's matters most** to the calculation (it drives\n Governing Planet and Rising Sign; the father's shapes Temperament and Rising Degree).\n Without them a reading is partial; say so if the user declines.\n3. Candidate names they already like, or the style they want (culture/origin, first letter).\n4. If the parents have a goal for the child, match it to a planet when discussing results:\n nurturing/newborn-best → Moon or Jupiter · leader → Sun · intellectual → Mercury ·\n fighter → Mars · commander → Saturn · artist → Venus (not boys).\n\n## Step 2 — Apply the name-input rules (critical for correctness)\n\n- **Persian, Arabic, or Islamic names** (for the baby OR a parent — e.g. Hossein, Zahra,\n Ali): pass them in **native script** (حسین، زهرا، علی). These are read exactly from their\n own letters. If the user typed a Latin transliteration, convert it to script yourself and\n show the script you used so they can correct it. Never send the Latin spelling — it would\n be misread through the sound-based path.\n- **English/Western names**: pass the Latin name. These are read from their **sound**, so the\n pronunciation must be confirmed (Step 5).\n\n## Step 3 — Build a shortlist\n\n- If the user has candidates, use those (2–5 for a comparison).\n- Otherwise call `search_names` with their filters (name prefix, gender, origin) and offer a\n handful of results, then let them pick candidates.\n\n## Step 4 — Compare with `compare_names`\n\nCall `compare_names` once with all candidates plus `mother_name`, `father_name`, `gender`,\nand the conversation language. Interpret the result strictly:\n\n- Each candidate's `book_criteria` shows the book's four newborn criteria with reasons:\n ① Moon or Jupiter Governing Planet, ② Fire or Air Temperament, ③ a Fire- or Earth-element\n Rising Sign, ④ good-or-excellent fortune. `holistic_score` = how many are met (0–4).\n- The ranking already applies the book's order for ties; the engine's livelihood rating is\n only a final tiebreaker, never the reason a name wins. Do not re-rank by livelihood.\n- If a name appears in `not_recommended` (Venus Governing Planet for a boy), do not present\n it as the pick; explain the book's reasoning gently.\n\n## Step 5 — Confirm pronunciations before trusting sound-based readings\n\nIf the response sets `confirm_pronunciation`, show the `confirm_prompt` to the user — it\nlists every sound-based name with how it was read and a link to hear it. If any\npronunciation is wrong, call the tool again with the corrected `pronunciation` /\n`mother_pronunciation` / `father_pronunciation`, then continue from the new result.\n\n## Step 6 — Present the comparison\n\n- One short block per candidate: the canonical aspects line from `format` (for example\n \"Sun, Air, Virgo Earth, 9° Taurus Earth\"), which criteria it meets and misses (use the\n `reason` texts), and its `pitfalls`.\n- Name the top candidate, but **never as simply \"best\"** — always state its downsides from\n `pitfalls_to_mention` alongside its strengths.\n- If no candidate meets the planet criterion (common), say so and offer to widen the\n shortlist with `search_names` rather than overselling the least-weak option — the book's\n own advice is to discard misaligned names and keep looking.\n- Explain aspects in the book's language (use `references/four-aspects-reference.md`): the\n planet's character, how the temperament tunes it, the Rising Sign as recurring life\n themes, and the fortune verdict from the Sign × Degree element pairing.\n- The aspects are not the whole decision. When candidates tie or the user hesitates, bring\n in the book's other factors: meaning, family tradition, easy pronunciation, timelessness —\n and the book's warning that unusual spellings burden the child.\n- Reply in the language the user is speaking; keep the reading concise and warm.\n\n## Step 7 — Deepen on request\n\nFor the favourite name, call `get_nameology_report` to give the full single-name reading\n(personality, fortune, meanings). The same input and pronunciation rules apply.\n\n## Output requirements (always)\n\n- Present this as a **traditional interpretive system** offered for reflection and meaning.\n Never call it scientific, never promise outcomes, and never claim a name determines a\n child's destiny, health, wealth, or success.\n- Do not invent aspects, scores, or criteria that the tools did not return.\n- If asked whether they are talking to a human, say plainly it is an AI.\n\n## When NOT to use this skill\n\nDaily horoscopes or birth-chart astrology (this method uses no birthdate), baby health or\nparenting questions, and naming companies, products, or brands.\n"
