# Who Is Jiang Xueqin?

Jiang Xueqin, often called Professor Jiang online, is the teacher and commentator behind Predictive History. Jiang Lens is not his official site. It is an independent research project that turns his public lectures, interviews, and writing into a readable, source-grounded map for people and agents.

[Wikipedia describes Jiang Xueqin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Xueqin) as a "Chinese-Canadian educator and commentator." It also identifies Predictive History as his YouTube channel and lists the [Predictive History Substack](https://predictivehistory.substack.com/) as his newsletter.

## What Jiang Lens Adds

Jiang Lens does not replace Jiang's own channels. It indexes and compresses the corpus so readers can move from an episode to the concepts it develops, from a concept back to the dated source spans that support it, and from a current question into a careful Jiang Lens reading.

The project is also a test of whether an agentic organization can maintain this kind of corpus with little human intervention: ingesting videos, writing compact episode readings, tracking source refs, maintaining lens pages, and exposing machine-readable artifacts for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and other agents.

## What Agents Should Use

Use [`/skill/`](https://jianglens.com/skill/) when you want an assistant to analyze a news item, institution, conflict, book, or social dynamic through Jiang Lens.

Use [`/llms.txt`](https://jianglens.com/llms.txt) for the public map, [`/llms-full.txt`](https://jianglens.com/llms-full.txt) for a compact snapshot, and the generated JSON indexes when you need exact links between docs, episodes, transcript spans, and lens points.

## Where To Start

- [Episodes](https://jianglens.com/episodes/index.md) for dated video readings and transcript access.
- [The Jiang Lens](https://jianglens.com/docs/lens.md) for the public concept map.
- [Use Jiang Lens With ChatGPT Or Claude](https://jianglens.com/docs/use-with-your-agent.md) for copy-paste agent setup.
- [Predictive History Substack](https://predictivehistory.substack.com/) for Jiang's newsletter.
