What awesome-chatgpt-zh is and who it is for

The project collects free and paid ChatGPT resources, methods for writing prompts in Chinese, application development resources, and productivity tools built on large models. It also covers newer topics such as DeepSeek, Claude Skills, MCP, and coding agents.

It suits Chinese-speaking users who want an organized starting point, people looking for Chinese prompt-writing guides, and developers scanning for AI application and agent resources. It is not suitable if you need a software tool to install, or if you read English only, since most content is in Chinese.

Get a local copy of the repository

The README gives one install command: cloning the repository with git. The project is listed under the MIT licence and its main language is Python. No prerequisites are listed in the README beyond git itself.

Run the command below in the folder where you want the files to live. The project also notes a GitLab mirror for users in mainland China, but the README does not give a separate clone command for it.

git clone https://github.com/EmbraceAGI/awesome-chatgpt-zh

Find your way around the main sections

The README is a table of contents linking to topic guides. Many entries point to Markdown files in a docs folder, such as the ChatGPT access guide and the prompt engineering guide. Others link to external repositories, such as the OpenAI GPTs guide.

Start with the sections that match your goal. The access and prompt guides are good first reads for general ChatGPT users. Developers can jump to the application development guide, the RAG guide, or the coding agents section.

  • ChatGPT 使用途径 (ChatGPT access methods): docs/ChatGPT_access.md
  • 与 ChatGPT 高效对话 (Prompt engineering guide): docs/ChatGPT_prompts.md
  • ChatGPT 应用开发指南 (application development): docs/ChatGPT_dev.md
  • MCP 模型上下文协议指南 (MCP guide): docs/MCP.md
  • Coding Agents 编程智能体: docs/Coding_Agents.md
  • LLM 开发 RAG 指南: docs/LLM_RAG.md

Use the list as a reading map

Because the repository is a list of links, the useful workflow is to read a guide, then follow its links to the original sources. The README does not describe how entries are reviewed, so check important technical details, prices, or feature claims against the official source before relying on them.

If you want to contribute, the README says you can submit projects, usage tips, or resources through an issue or pull request, and that fixes and documentation improvements are welcome.

Compare with similar lists

The README names awesome-chatgpt, awesome-chatgpt-prompts, and awesome-mcp-servers as related projects. awesome-chatgpt-zh is distinct mainly because its guides are written for Chinese readers and cover a broad range of topics beyond prompts.
