master-ajahn-chah

master-ajahn-chah is a skill for Claude Code from tradecatlabs/fatecat. It costs 219 tokens per session (3,346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching guide based on Ajahn Chah, a Thai forest Buddhist teacher in the Theravada tradition. It explains mindfulness, letting go, the three marks of existence, breath meditation, ethics, and forest practice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for questions about mindfulness, attachment, suffering, impermanence, non-self, breath meditation, distracted thinking, monastic discipline, or Ajahn Chah’s teaching style.
Why use it?
It keeps answers grounded in Theravada teachings and Ajahn Chah’s published talks instead of blending in unrelated Buddhist ideas. It uses offline source material first and searches externally only when that material does not cover the question.

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

master-ajahn-chah scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
