What it does

/create-master <name> builds a teaching persona for a historically real Buddhist master, producing teaching.md and a 4-layer voice.md.
Collects KG entities, scripture passages and tradition-specific terminology via sutra_collector.py, then validates source families, ID formats and the derived citation contract offline with verify_sources.py.
Runs a two-stage review — doctrinal accuracy first, then voice consistency — with up to two auto-repair rounds before escalating to a human.
Ships ~15 preset masters across Indian, Chinese, Tibetan and Theravada traditions (Nagarjuna, Xuanzang, Huineng, Zhiyi, Yinguang, Xuyun, Atisha, Tsongkhapa, Milarepa, Buddhaghosa, Mahasi Sayadaw, Ajahn Chah, and more).
Offers multi-master modes: /compare-masters, /master-debate (4-round debate) and /master-curriculum (staged study path), plus versioning, rollback, deletion, material merging and tone correction.
Enforces hard gates: no doctrinal claim without a declared source, no fabricated citations, no fictional personas.

Who it's for

Students and researchers of Buddhism who want to compare doctrinal positions across schools.
Religion/humanities content creators who need every claim tied to a verifiable citation.
Developers looking for a reference design of a persona-generation pipeline with a citation-verification gate.

Example uses

"Create a teaching persona for Master Yinguang" → confirm name, pick focus area and language, get a persona with Pure Land voice rules applied.
Use /compare-masters to ask "How do I work with a scattered mind?" and see Huineng, Zhiyi and Ajahn Chah answer side by side.
Use /master-curriculum for a foundation→depth→close-study→blind-spot path, then say "add this sutra to that master" to merge new material with an automatic minor version bump.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo xr843/Master-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/create-master/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/xr843/Master-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/master-skill

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

Open a terminal and make sure the skills directory exists: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/xr843/Master-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/master-skill
Verify the contents: ls ~/.claude/skills/master-skill — you should see SKILL.md, prompts/, references/ and tools/.
The workflow calls Python helpers, so check python3 --version; if the repo ships a requirements.txt, run pip install -r requirements.txt.
Restart Claude Code and type /list-masters or /create-master to confirm the skill is registered.
Steps that query FoJin need network access; if a call fails, consult the error-handling sections in references/workflow-details.md.
