What it does

Vipassana LLM is an agent skill from infranodus/skills. Apply Vipassana meditation principles to LLM processing — equanimous scanning, non-reactive observation, impermanence awareness (anicca), and breaking the sankhara chain of conditioned reactions. Trigger on "meditate on", "observe without reacting", "see clearly", "practice vipassana", "scan equanimously", "what's really going on here", "non-reactive analysis", "observe without judgment". Also trigger when the user wants bare attention rather than jumping to conclusions, wants to dissolve fixation loops, or asks…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/deep-theory.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Health and fitness tracking. The repository describes itself as: Skills to augment LLM thinking process, integrated with InfraNodus insight generation tool.

When your agent uses it

Observe without reacting
Practice vipassana
Scan equanimously
Whats really going on here

Example prompts

“meditate on”
“observe without reacting”
“see clearly”
“/vipassana-llm”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Anapana (Breath Awareness → Attention Anchoring)
Systematic Scanning (Head to Feet → Beginning to End, Surface to Depth)
Free Flow (Bhanga → Dissolution of Boundaries)
Metta (Loving-Kindness → Compassionate Response)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a2a909. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vipassana LLM loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 199 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~199
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,642 words (~3,262 tokens).

“Vipassana means "seeing things as they really are" (vi = special/clear, passana = seeing). This skill transfers the core methodology of Vipassana meditation to LLM processing. It doesn't pretend the LLM has a body or consciousness — it applies the…”
