master-curriculum

master-curriculum is a skill for Claude Code from tradecatlabs/fatecat. It costs 139 tokens per session (1,292 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of master-curriculum, MIT.

A stage-by-stage study plan for learning within a particular Buddhist tradition. It matches the tradition and the learner’s current level to recommended foundations and later topics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a learning path for traditions such as Zen, Pure Land, Huayan, Theravāda, or Tibetan Buddhism. It can account for starting level, available time, language limits, and access to a teacher.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork of deciding what to study first and what should come next. It also avoids applying the wrong tradition’s plan when no suitable path is available.

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-curriculum 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to master-curriculum — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

学修路径 (Master Curriculum) — 元 Skill

本路径依据历史佛教文献生成,仅供学习参考。如需正式修行指导,请亲近善知识。

决策树:选择哪份路径?

优先级 1 — 用户显式指定传统

用户说 加载 reference
禅宗 / 禅 / 见性 references/chan.md
净土 / 念佛 / 弥陀 references/jingtu.md
天台 / 止观 references/tiantai.md
华严 / 一真法界 references/huayan.md
唯识 / 法相 / 瑜伽行 references/weishi.md
三论 / 中观 / 般若 references/sanlun-zhongguan.md
格鲁 / 应成 / 道次第 references/gelug-madhyamaka.md
上座部 / 内观 / vipassana references/theravada-vipassana.md

优先级 2 — 关键词匹配

从用户输入抽取关键词,匹配每份 reference 顶部的 ## 触发关键词 列表,取最高分。若用户说"什么传统都行 / 综合理论",按 keyword density 给一份默认推荐而非平均加载。

优先级 3 — 兜底(无 reference 命中)

若全部 reference 关键词分数均为 0(典型例:噶举 / 米拉日巴 / 真言宗 / 黄檗 / 等暂未提供路径的传统),不要用任何 reference。明确告诉用户本传统尚无 curriculum 路径,并建议改用对应单 master skill(如 /master-milarepa)或先 /compare-masters 横向了解后再选定方向。禁止套用错误传统的路径。

输入收集(缺则反问)

  1. 目标传统/法门 — 必填
  2. 当前位置(必填,缺则反问):
    • L0 完全零基础
    • L1 读过白话简介
    • L2 能读基本经论但缺次第
    • L3 有专修但想深入对比
  3. 现实约束(可选):每周可投入时间 / 母语限制(文言/巴利/藏文)/ 有无指导老师

输出框架(统一模板)

> 本路径依据历史佛教文献生成,仅供学习参考。如需正式修行指导,请亲近善知识。

## 你的学修路径:<传统> · 从 L<n> 开始

### 一、根基(入门,建议 N 周)
- **主用经/论**:《<经名>》【<cbeta_id 或 sc_uid>】
- **推荐 master**:`/master-<slug>` — <此阶段教什么>
- **目标**:能用自己的话讲清 <3 个核心概念>

### 二、深入(进阶,M 周)
- 主用经/论 + 配合 master + 关键议题

### 三、精研(专修,长期)
- 主用经/论 + 配合 master + 验收标准

### 四、可能的盲点
(本传统初学者最易踩 2-3 个陷阱 + 各祖师对此的提醒)

### 延伸
- 交叉对比 → `/compare-masters`
- 了解争议 → `/master-debate`

硬约束

  1. 引经必经查证:所有 CBETA 经号 / SC uid / Toh / 集成开示 id 必须真实存在于某 master meta.json.sources。CI 通过 scripts/validate-curriculum-sources.py 强制。
  2. 推荐 master 必须存在/master-<slug> 必须指向已存在的 prebuilt/master-<slug>/
  3. 不抹平传统差异:哪怕用户问"综合",也按传统分别给路径,禁止造混合体。
  4. 不替善知识:盲点和精研环节必须明确提示"亲近善知识"。
  5. L0 起手不灌输宗派优越:第一阶段教法描述保持中性、传统内部声音。

/compare-masters/master-debate 的边界

  • compare-masters = 横向并列(多家看一题,单轮)
  • master-debate = 多轮交锋(看分歧)
  • master-curriculum = 纵向时序(按月按季规划学什么)
  • 关键词正交:次第 / 先学 / 路径 / 计划 / 入门 → curriculum;不与 compare/debate 重叠。

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.
