naval-almanack

naval-almanack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kangarooking/cangjie-skill. It costs 255 tokens per session (2,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for applying ideas from The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, a book about wealth, work, happiness, judgment, and long-term thinking. It routes questions to the relevant topic guidance and notes when professional help is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for questions about the book, reducing unnecessary desires, handling comparison and anger, choosing collaborators, building reputation, learning, and making long-term life decisions.
Why use it?
It turns broad ideas from the book into guidance for common decisions without treating every question as an investment or medical problem. It also separates topics that have their own more specific guidance.

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

naval-almanack 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.

《纳瓦尔宝典:财富与幸福指南》 — 来源路由入口(compact pack)

触发与不触发

适用:与本书能力域相关的咨询与任务(见下方路由表的意图列)。 不适用

  • 具体投资标的分析、选股与理财产品建议
  • 临床抑郁、精神疾病急性发作等需要专业治疗的场景(先就医)
  • 急性自杀风险(先紧急求助)
  • 需要外交辞令的谈判策略与具体薪酬数字

核心原则(常驻速览,概览类问题读到这里即可回答)

  1. 财富=睡觉时仍在赚钱的资产;靠「责任→产权→杠杆」构建,无法靠出租时间致富。
  2. 用特殊知识(对你像玩、对别人像工作)产品化自己,成为不可替代。
  3. 判断力比努力重要;无法决定就答否;两条均等的路选短期更痛苦的那条。
  4. 财富、知识、声誉、关系都遵循复利;只玩长期正和游戏,与能共事一辈子的人同行。
  5. 幸福是可训练的技能:减少欲望、活在当下;任何处境只有三选项——改变/接受/离开。
  6. 阅读是终极元技能:读你所爱、原著优先,每天 1-2 小时即进入极少数人行列。
