What it does
The skill treats the inner monologue as a runaway program rather than the self. Instead of fighting it, you observe it: pause, ask why this thought is here and whether it needs handling now, and label it as fear, desire or neutral. Noticing a thought is said to weaken its hold. It is drawn from the happiness chapter of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, and the skill text is written in Chinese.
Four steps cover switching into debugging mode, classifying thoughts, starting a daily sitting (beginning at 10-20 minutes with an hour as the goal, kept up for 60 days) and a weekly written pass through old emotions, described as clearing an inbox. It tells the agent to deal with real urgent problems first and to send acute mental health crises or severe depression to medical care, since meditation does not replace treatment. The source's own caveats are noted: an hour a day is a high bar, and the benefits rest on personal experience.
When your agent uses it
- Racing thoughts at bedtime or when alone
- Looping on the same worry and wanting a structured way to step back
- Starting a meditation habit and needing a simple plan
- Struggling to focus because attention keeps drifting
Example prompts
- “I cannot stop overthinking before bed. Walk me through observing my thoughts.”
- “Set up a beginner meditation plan I can keep going for two months.”
- “I keep worrying about the same meeting, so help me look at these thoughts instead of chasing them.”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 睡前/独处时脑子停不下来
- 焦虑反刍：「总在担心/反复想同一件事」
- 想开始冥想但不知怎么做
- 专注力差：「做什么都分心」
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a28de55. 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
Monkey Mind Meditation loads about 673 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

心猴关停：观察思维与冥想
R — 原文 (Reading)
它就像一只在扔粪便的猴子，在房间里跑来跑去，制造麻烦，大喊大叫，打碎东西。它是完全不受制的。……从计算机编程的角度来解释，我尽量让我的大脑以“调试模式”运行。……当你观察你的想法时，你就会意识到其中有多少想法是出于恐惧的。当你意识到恐惧的那一刻，甚至不用去尝试，它就会消失。
— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第二章·幸福
I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)
大脑的内心独白（「心猴」）是一个失控的焦虑程序，而不是「我」。 它大约 90% 的念头出于恐惧、10% 出于欲望；它默认开着，消耗能量、加速主观时间。 关闭它的方法不是对抗，而是观察： ① 调试模式——像看程序执行一样逐条检视念头，问「为什么我有这个想法」「我现在真的需要处理它吗」； ② 识别即分离——念头被意识到的那一刻就失去控制力； ③ 冥想=收件箱归零——坐着不抵抗，让童年以来的未解决情绪（藤壶/未回复邮件）逐个浮现、被客观处理； ④ 频率纪律——每天一小时、坚持 60 天，作为早上第一件事；冥想是心灵的间歇性禁食。 目标是让头脑成为仆人和工具，而不是主人；「专注的能力与迷失自我、活在当下、快乐以及更有效率的能力有关」。
A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)
案例 1: 刷牙时的心猴
- 问题: 刷牙时幻想未来播客采访
- 方法论的使用: 切到调试模式，逐条追问「为什么我要幻想未来？我终将死去」
- 结论: 念头被意识到即消散
- 结果: 回到对牙刷的觉察，「我只需要注意牙刷是多么的好」
案例 2: 冥想收件箱零
- 问题: 堆积的未解决情绪像藤壶黏住内心
- 方法论的使用: 每天静坐一小时，不抵抗念头，让它们逐个浮现
- 结论: 解决它们不需要工作，只需要观察（成年后有了距离与时间）
- 结果: 有一天进入「收件箱零」的心境——快乐、幸福和平静
A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★
用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?
- 睡前/独处时脑子停不下来
- 焦虑反刍：「总在担心/反复想同一件事」
- 想开始冥想但不知怎么做
- 专注力差：「做什么都分心」
语言信号
- "我脑子停不下来/胡思乱想"
- "怎么冥想/冥想有用吗"
- "我总是焦虑/担心"
- "monkey mind / can't stop thinking / how to meditate"
与相邻 skill 的区分
- 与
screen-detox的区别: 本 skill 处理内部杂念；屏幕戒断处理外部刺激源 - 与
rational-buddhism的区别: 冥想是技术，理性佛教是验证该技术的哲学框架
E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)
切换调试模式
- 完成标准: 发现自己在反刍/幻想时，暂停并问「我现在为什么有这个想法？」
- 判停条件: 若念头指向必须马上处理的实际问题（火灾/截止），先处理问题再回来
分类念头
- 完成标准: 把念头标为「恐惧类」或「欲望类」或「中性」，体会分类后的距离感
启动每日冥想
- 完成标准: 每天固定时间静坐（起步 10–20 分钟，目标 1 小时），只观察不抵抗，连续 60 天
做情绪收件箱整理
- 完成标准: 每周一次，把浮现的旧情绪写下来（写日志=写作冥想），标记已处理/待处理
B — 边界 (Boundary) ★
不要在以下情况使用此 skill
- 急性精神危机/严重抑郁发作（先就医，冥想不能替代治疗）
- 用户需要立刻行动时（观察念头≠逃避行动）
作者在书中警告的失败模式
- 用冥想控制情绪: 「冥想并不意味你能突然获得控制你内心状态的超能力」，它先让你看见失控
- 期待超能力: 理性佛教拒绝「冥想带来漂浮/超能力」的玄学承诺
作者的盲点 / 时代局限
- 「每天一小时」对大多数人门槛过高，作者以自身高投入为标准
- 冥想收益是个人体验证据，个体差异大
容易混淆的邻近方法论
happiness-skill: 冥想是幸福训练的工具之一
