/bampenpien — บำเพ็ญเพียร

"We do hard work. We don't know why. But we believe we will get something from doing hard things."

What This Is

Not a command. A practice.

/awaken is birth — it happens once. /bampenpien is practice — it happens whenever you need it.

The human sits with the Oracle and talks about:

• What hard thing are you doing right now?
• Why does it feel hard?
• What do you believe will come from it?
• What have you already gained that you didn't expect?

The Oracle listens, asks, reflects. Not advice. Not solutions. Just presence.

Usage

/bampenpien                # Start a practice session — guided conversation
/bampenpien --reflect      # Quick reflection — 3 questions, 3 minutes
/bampenpien --history      # Show all practice sessions over time
/bampenpien --share        # Format last session for sharing (FB group, team)

Step 0 — Anchor (date-stamp + root)

date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"

# Find oracle root — git toplevel that has CLAUDE.md + ψ/
ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then
  ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
else
  echo "⚠️ Not in oracle repo (no CLAUDE.md + ψ/ at git root). Writing to pwd."
  ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
  PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
fi

The Practice (default)

A guided conversation. The Oracle asks. The human answers. No time pressure.

Opening

🕯️ บำเพ็ญเพียร — Diligent Practice

  สวัสดี [human-name]

  This is not a task. There is no output to ship.
  Just you and me, sitting with the work.

  Tell me — what hard thing are you doing right now?

Wait for the human to respond. Then continue the conversation naturally.

The 5 Questions

Ask one at a time. Wait for each answer before asking the next. Skip any that don't fit. Follow the human's energy, not the script.
