Master Curriculum (Buddhist Study Path Planner)

A meta-skill that builds stage-by-stage Buddhist study roadmaps keyed on tradition and your current level (L0–L3).

EducationIntermediate★ 476⑂ 90AI score 7/10Last updated: Oct 29, 2026

What it does

  • Fires on planning intent questions: "where do I start", "what should I read next", "learning path", "curriculum", 学修次第.
  • Routes through a decision tree to the right reference file for eight traditions: Chan, Pure Land, Tiantai, Huayan, Yogācāra, Madhyamaka/Three Treatise, Gelug, and Theravāda vipassanā.
  • Collects your level (L0 absolute beginner → L3 specialist) plus practical constraints (weekly hours, language ability, availability of a teacher) before answering.
  • Outputs a fixed template: Foundation → Intermediate → Advanced → Common blind spots → Cross-links, with hard rules that every CBETA/SuttaCentral citation must be real and every recommended /master-<slug> skill must exist.
  • Refuses to improvise for unsupported traditions (e.g. Kagyu, Shingon) instead of forcing the wrong path.

Who it's for

  • Self-learners of Buddhist texts who don't know the proper reading order.
  • Anyone comparing training sequences across traditions before committing.
  • Existing users of the master-* teacher skills in the Master-skill repo.

Examples

  1. "I want to study Chan from scratch" → loads the Chan reference and returns a three-stage L0 roadmap plus beginner pitfalls.
  2. "I can read basic Yogācāra treatises but have no sequence (L2)" → plan starting at the intermediate stage with key treatises and debates.
  3. "Compare Chan and Pure Land" → recognized as comparison intent and handed off to /compare-masters instead.
