## What it is
Fate is a Go-based Chinese baby name generation engine that combines traditional Chinese metaphysics (BaZi four pillars, Wu Xing five elements, San Cai Wu Ge numerology, and I Ching hexagrams) with multi-dimensional scoring to generate and rank candidate names. It ships as a single binary with an embedded React web UI and a CLI for name generation and detailed analysis.

## Use cases
- generate chinese baby names based on birth date and time
- analyze a name's bazi five elements compatibility
- score candidate names by wuge numerology and phonetics
- find names with good iching hexagram readings
- run a local web app to explore and filter name candidates
- batch generate top-n ranked names for a surname

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained tool for traditional Chinese name generation with bazi and wuge analysis
- you want both a CLI and a web interface in a single binary
- you need programmable name generation via a Go library

## When to avoid
- you need name generation for non-Chinese languages
- you want a cloud-hosted naming service without running it yourself
- you don't want traditional Chinese metaphysics-based scoring
