- Wanting to read more but finding it hard to stay with a book
- SKILL.md covers R — 原文 (Reading), I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation), A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application) and A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★, plus 4 more sections

What it does
Drawn from Naval Ravikant's almanack, the skill treats reading as the skill behind other skills. Its principles: read what you love until you love reading, owe nobody a finished book (skip around, read several at once), go to original works before commentary, such as Darwin before Dawkins, keep a daily habit of one to two hours rather than chasing volume, and teach what you learn to others. The skill text is written in Chinese.
Four steps: pick an interesting book and start at the chapter that draws you in, switching or skipping if it feels painful after 20 minutes; set a minimum daily habit, starting at 15 minutes if needed and holding it for 7 days; add one or two foundational works to the queue for any field you want to enter; and explain what you learned each week until you could explain it to a child. It is not for book reviews or exam preparation, and it notes that an hour or two a day is unrealistic for people under pressure.
When your agent uses it
- Wanting to read more but finding it hard to stay with a book
- Choosing where to start in a field that is new to you
- Feeling anxious about reading lists or how many books others finish
- Learning a subject faster and retaining it for longer
Example prompts
- “I never finish books. Help me build a reading habit that sticks.”
- “I want to understand economics from scratch, so which foundational works should come first?”
- “Give me a weekly routine for retaining what I read by explaining it back.”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 想读书但读不进去/总卡在某页
- 问「入门某领域该读什么」
- 想提升学习能力：「怎么学得又快又牢」
- 被书单焦虑：「别人一年读 100 本我好焦虑」
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
Reading as a Meta-Skill loads about 658 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 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.

阅读元技能
R — 原文 (Reading)
读你所爱读的直到你爱上阅读。……我大概每天读一到两小时。那个使我进入0.00001%的行列。……真正的人不会每天读一小时。真正的人，每天读一分钟或更少。使它成为实际的习惯才是最重要的事情。
— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第一章·财富
I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)
阅读是可以用它换来任何其他技能的元技能。培养它的关键是降低门槛、保持愉悦： ① 读你所爱（包括「精神垃圾食品」）直到爱上阅读——没有垃圾这种东西； ② 没有读完义务——跳读、从中间读、同时穿插 10–20 本都合法，把书当博客/推文； ③ 质量靠「原著优先」——先读达尔文再读道金斯、先读亚当·斯密再读当代经济学家，解读本会灌输立场； ④ 每天 1–2 小时、让它成为实际习惯，比「读很多」更重要（数量是虚荣指标）； ⑤ 以教促学——向别人解释你学到的东西，能讲明白才是真掌握。
A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)
案例 1: 同时读 10–20 本
- 问题: 被「必须读完」训练毁了阅读习惯
- 方法论的使用: 把书当博客，无读完义务，穿插跳读
- 结论: 「我觉得没有任何义务去读完这本书。突然间，书籍又回到了我的阅读库。」
- 结果: 从 Twitter 多巴胺时代回到每天 1–2 小时深度阅读
案例 2: 读书数十年后重读
- 问题: 如何真正掌握一本书
- 方法论的使用: 「越好的书，就越要慢慢地理解和吸收」；重读好书
- 结论: 「我不想去读完所有书，我只想反复读那100本伟大的书」
- 结果: 少而精的重读取代数量竞赛
A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★
用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?
- 想读书但读不进去/总卡在某页
- 问「入门某领域该读什么」
- 想提升学习能力：「怎么学得又快又牢」
- 被书单焦虑：「别人一年读 100 本我好焦虑」
语言信号
- "推荐几本书入门/怎么开始读书"
- "我读不进去/总半途而废"
- "怎么学习新领域"
- "how to read more / learn anything / what to read first"
与相邻 skill 的区分
- 与
judgment-training的区别: 本 skill 是输入管线（怎么读），判断力是输出能力（怎么想） - 与
screen-detox的区别: 深度阅读替代屏幕多巴胺，但本 skill 不负责戒断
E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)
降低门槛，随手开读
- 完成标准: 挑一本「读起来有意思」的书（不挑「应该读」的），从最吸引你的章节开始
- 判停条件: 若读得痛苦超过 20 分钟，换一本或跳读，不做完读义务
建立每日最小习惯
- 完成标准: 每天固定 1–2 小时（或固定 15 分钟起步），连续 7 天不断
按「原著优先」补基础
- 完成标准: 对想入门的领域，先找到该领域 1–2 本奠基原著加入队列
以教促学
- 完成标准: 每周写/讲一次「我最近学到的东西」，直到能向小孩讲明白
B — 边界 (Boundary) ★
不要在以下情况使用此 skill
- 用户要具体书评/摘录（这不是阅读习惯训练）
- 备考场景（应试策略与培养习惯不同）
作者在书中警告的失败模式
- 读错次序的博学: 「一开始读的是一系列虚假的或部分真实的东西，这些东西组成他们世界观的基本公理」
- 为社会认可而读: 读大家都在读的书=融入羊群，生活回报在脱离群体的一侧
作者的盲点 / 时代局限
- 每天 1–2 小时对高压人群不现实；「读原著」假设读者有耐心与语言门槛（译本也是折中）
- 作者强调非虚构/经典，未覆盖小说与专业实操书的阅读价值
容易混淆的邻近方法论
judgment-training: 阅读供给基础，判断力消费基础
