Buddhist Master Persona Generator (create-master)

Generates AI teaching personas of historical Buddhist masters, grounded in canonical sources with an enforced citation contract.

EducationIntermediate★ 435⑂ 85AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 26, 2026

What it does

  • Turns /create-master <master name> into a full persona: a teaching.md (doctrine) and a voice.md (4-layer speaking style).
  • Pulls entities, scriptures and lineage terminology from the FoJin knowledge graph, then validates source families, ID formats and claim attribution offline via verify_sources.py.
  • Runs a mandatory two-stage review (doctrine accuracy → voice consistency) with up to two auto-repair rounds before escalating to a human.
  • Ships 15 preset masters across Indian, Chinese, Tibetan and Theravāda traditions (Nāgārjuna, Xuanzang, Huineng, Zhiyi, Yinguang, Xuyun, Atisha, Tsongkhapa, Milarepa, Buddhaghosa, Mahasi, Ajahn Chah, and more).
  • Multi-master modes: /compare-masters, /master-debate (4-round cross debate), /master-curriculum (staged study path).
  • Hard gates: no doctrinal claim without a declared source, no fabricated citations, no fictional personas.

Who it's for

  • Buddhist studies learners and researchers who want cited, tradition-aware answers.
  • Anyone comparing doctrinal positions across schools and traditions.
  • Developers studying a well-engineered, citation-verified persona generation pipeline.

Examples

  1. "Create a teaching persona for Master Yinguang" → data collection, review and registration yield /master-yinguang.
  2. "Use /compare-masters on 'how to work with anger' across Chan, Tiantai and Theravāda" → side-by-side contrast in one pass.
  3. "Append the Diamond Sutra to this master" → incremental merge, minor version bump, prior version archived in .versions/.
