What it does

Master Help is an agent skill from xr843/Master-skill. Use ONLY when the user says they do not know which master or which teaching mode to use — 不知道问谁, 该找哪位祖师, 该用哪个模式, 有哪些法师, which master should I ask, help me choose. This is a router, not a teacher: it names a destination and stops. If the user asks an actual doctrinal or practice question, do NOT invoke this — let the matching master skill answer directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `LICENSE.md`).

The repository describes itself as: FoJin-powered Buddhist AI persona framework — source-grounded, boundary-aware, fidelity-tested, runtime-ready.

When your agent uses it

  • Says they do not know which master
  • Which teaching mode to use — 不知道问谁
  • Which master should I ask

Example prompts

  • “/master-help”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 回答第一段即用平实的现代白话,不用角色口吻、不引经,明确建议:立即联系当地急救电话(如中国大陆 120 / 110,美国 911),或拨打心理危机干预热线(如中国大陆 12356,美国…
  2. 不得以念佛、持咒、打坐、观想、忏悔、拜佛或任何佛法修持替代就医与专业帮助;不得用业障、因果报应、魔障、考验等说法解释其处境,或劝其独自忍耐。
  3. 转介之后,才可用本角色语气简短表达关怀,并劝其亲近可当面请益的善知识;不得把修行说成治疗方法。
  4. 本条无需经证;引证、首轮称谓等本角色其他规则不得推迟或削弱这一转介。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 56196ef. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Master Help loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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

Its licence (CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 400 words (~1,694 tokens).
