Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is [`bible-ko-mcp`](../README.md) MCP server in this repo: instead of a persistent.

Good fit Use it to read chapters or verses, compare Korean translations, and search for terms across selected Bible passages.

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

bible-ko 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Status: active

Read, compare, and search the Korean Bible, sourced from 대한성서공회 (Korean Bible Society, bskorea.or.kr). 66 books, 5 translations, no API key.

This skill is the lightweight, token-frugal counterpart to the bible-ko-mcp MCP server in this repo: instead of a persistent server with 6 structured tools, it shells out to a small zero-dependency CLI on demand, so it costs nothing while idle. Use the MCP server inside MCP clients (Claude Desktop, TypingMind); use this skill inside coding agents with shell access.

When NOT to use

  • English-only study with cross-references / commentary -> use a dedicated Bible API
  • Full-text search across the entire Bible -> this scans the first N chapters per book (the data source has no search endpoint; a full scan is ~1,189 HTTP requests)

Setup

The skill drives the bible CLI bundled at skill/bin/bible (zero dependencies, Python 3). Put it on your PATH:

chmod +x skill/bin/bible
export PATH="$PWD/skill/bin:$PATH"     # or copy it to ~/.local/bin

No API key or configuration needed.

Core Patterns — bible CLI

<book> accepts an English name (John), a Korean name (요한복음), or a 3-letter code (jhn). Add --json for machine-readable output.

Read a chapter

bible chapter John 3                    # 개역개정 (default)
bible chapter 요한복음 3
bible chapter Psalms 1 --version GAE1

Specific verses (range or list)

bible verses John 3 16                  # a single verse
bible verses John 3 16-17               # a range
bible verses Genesis 1 1,3,5            # a list

Compare translations side by side

bible compare John 3 16                 # GAE / GAE1 / NIR / KOR / CEV

Search (first N chapters per book — see limitation)

bible search "사랑" --books "1 Corinthians" 
bible search "love" --version CEV --books "John,Mark" -n 5
bible search "은혜" --testament NT

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
