SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users compare multiple Buddhist masters, schools, and perspectives in a structured way without collapsing different traditions into a single answer. It is designed to prevent sectarian ranking, fabricated dialogue, and unsupported doctrinal claims while still giving a useful side-by-side analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-master comparison: Selects the most relevant 2-3 masters based on topic, explicit user preference, or classic doctrinal pairings.
  • Evidence-backed responses: Requires CBETA citations for every doctrinal claim and organizes answers around the cited sources.
  • Difference mapping: Produces a five-dimensional divergence radar, labeled disagreement types, shared ground, and historical background.
  • Safety guardrails: Blocks rankings, invented conversations, esoteric step-by-step instructions, and attainment judgments.
  • Use Case: A user asks how Zen and Pure Land differ, and the Skill returns a balanced comparison with citations, differences, common ground, and follow-up questions.

Quick Start

Ask for a cited comparison of two or three Buddhist masters on your topic, and specify any masters you want included.
