Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

monkey-mind-meditation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

心猴关停:观察思维与冥想

R — 原文 (Reading)

它就像一只在扔粪便的猴子,在房间里跑来跑去,制造麻烦,大喊大叫,打碎东西。它是完全不受制的。……从计算机编程的角度来解释,我尽量让我的大脑以“调试模式”运行。……当你观察你的想法时,你就会意识到其中有多少想法是出于恐惧的。当你意识到恐惧的那一刻,甚至不用去尝试,它就会消失。

— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第二章·幸福

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

大脑的内心独白(「心猴」)是一个失控的焦虑程序,而不是「我」。 它大约 90% 的念头出于恐惧、10% 出于欲望;它默认开着,消耗能量、加速主观时间。 关闭它的方法不是对抗,而是观察: ① 调试模式——像看程序执行一样逐条检视念头,问「为什么我有这个想法」「我现在真的需要处理它吗」; ② 识别即分离——念头被意识到的那一刻就失去控制力; ③ 冥想=收件箱归零——坐着不抵抗,让童年以来的未解决情绪(藤壶/未回复邮件)逐个浮现、被客观处理; ④ 频率纪律——每天一小时、坚持 60 天,作为早上第一件事;冥想是心灵的间歇性禁食。 目标是让头脑成为仆人和工具,而不是主人;「专注的能力与迷失自我、活在当下、快乐以及更有效率的能力有关」。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: 刷牙时的心猴

  • 问题: 刷牙时幻想未来播客采访
  • 方法论的使用: 切到调试模式,逐条追问「为什么我要幻想未来?我终将死去」
  • 结论: 念头被意识到即消散
  • 结果: 回到对牙刷的觉察,「我只需要注意牙刷是多么的好」

案例 2: 冥想收件箱零

  • 问题: 堆积的未解决情绪像藤壶黏住内心
  • 方法论的使用: 每天静坐一小时,不抵抗念头,让它们逐个浮现
  • 结论: 解决它们不需要工作,只需要观察(成年后有了距离与时间)
  • 结果: 有一天进入「收件箱零」的心境——快乐、幸福和平静

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 睡前/独处时脑子停不下来
  2. 焦虑反刍:「总在担心/反复想同一件事」
  3. 想开始冥想但不知怎么做
  4. 专注力差:「做什么都分心」

语言信号

  • "我脑子停不下来/胡思乱想"
  • "怎么冥想/冥想有用吗"
  • "我总是焦虑/担心"
  • "monkey mind / can't stop thinking / how to meditate"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • screen-detox 的区别: 本 skill 处理内部杂念;屏幕戒断处理外部刺激源
  • rational-buddhism 的区别: 冥想是技术,理性佛教是验证该技术的哲学框架

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

  1. 切换调试模式

    • 完成标准: 发现自己在反刍/幻想时,暂停并问「我现在为什么有这个想法?」
    • 判停条件: 若念头指向必须马上处理的实际问题(火灾/截止),先处理问题再回来
  2. 分类念头

    • 完成标准: 把念头标为「恐惧类」或「欲望类」或「中性」,体会分类后的距离感
  3. 启动每日冥想

    • 完成标准: 每天固定时间静坐(起步 10–20 分钟,目标 1 小时),只观察不抵抗,连续 60 天
  4. 做情绪收件箱整理

    • 完成标准: 每周一次,把浮现的旧情绪写下来(写日志=写作冥想),标记已处理/待处理

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 急性精神危机/严重抑郁发作(先就医,冥想不能替代治疗)
  • 用户需要立刻行动时(观察念头≠逃避行动)

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • 用冥想控制情绪: 「冥想并不意味你能突然获得控制你内心状态的超能力」,它先让你看见失控
  • 期待超能力: 理性佛教拒绝「冥想带来漂浮/超能力」的玄学承诺

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • 「每天一小时」对大多数人门槛过高,作者以自身高投入为标准
  • 冥想收益是个人体验证据,个体差异大

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • happiness-skill: 冥想是幸福训练的工具之一

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
