  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by kangarooking on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Rational Buddhism AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kangarooking/cangjie-skill.git /tmp/cangjie-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/cangjie-skill/books/naval-almanack-skill/rational-buddhism .claude/skills/rational-buddhism
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Rational Buddhism in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Rational Buddhism on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Rational Buddhism is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

理性佛教:验证一切

R — 原文 (Reading)

尝试一切,亲自测试,保持怀疑,保留有用的,舍弃没用的。……理性的部分意味着我必须与科学和进化和解。我必须拒绝所有我不能验证的内容。……如果我无法验证它,或者如果我不能通过科学到达那里,那么它可能是真的,也可能是假的,但它肯定是无法证伪的,所以我不能将它视为基本真理。

— 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特, 《纳瓦尔宝典》 第二章·幸福

I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

「理性佛教」是用科学标准过滤、保留内在技术的精神立场: ① 可证伪底线——「如果不能做出可证伪的预测,那它就不是科学」;无法验证/无法证伪的主张(业报、脉轮、超能力)不能进入基本真理; ② 亲自测试——冥想对你有好处吗?理清思路是好事吗?亲自验证后再采纳; ③ 保留有用的——冥想、观察、接纳等经时间考验的内在工作方法与科学并不冲突; ④ 进化是约束原则——进化论解释人是什么(生存与复制机器),佛教解释内在状态怎么调,二者可调和; ⑤ 保持怀疑但不关闭体验——「我不赞成任何幻想的东西」,但也别因「听起来玄」就拒绝亲测(读《当下的力量》的例子:先合上书说屁话,后来带着积极心态尝试,感觉很好)。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: 拒绝不可验证的教义

  • 问题: 佛教里的业报/脉轮该信吗
  • 方法论的使用: 「我看过。我不记得任何前世。我没有任何相关记忆。我就只是不能相信。」
  • 结论: 无法亲自验证=不能视为基本真理
  • 结果: 保留佛教的内在工作,拒绝玄学部分

案例 2: 读《当下的力量》的转变

  • 问题: 对能量练习的第一反应是「这是屁话」
  • 方法论的使用: 「我会带着积极的心态去做。我躺下,并尝试冥想。」
  • 结论: 「很好,如果我相信它,或许它能起作用」
  • 结果: 体验很好——验证优先于偏见

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 面对玄学/灵修/伪科学主张:「这个该信吗」
  2. 建立个人验证标准:「我该信什么」
  3. 科学与精神之间的摇摆:「科学和冥想冲突吗」
  4. 想尝试但保持理性:「怎么亲测又不走火入魔」

语言信号

  • "这东西是真的吗/该信吗"
  • "怎么验证一个说法"
  • "科学 vs 灵修/冥想"
  • "is this true / falsifiable / rational approach to spirituality"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • judgment-training 的区别: 判断力是通用思考能力;本 skill 是「什么可以信」的验证标准
  • monkey-mind-meditation 的区别: 冥想是技术,本 skill 是允许/拒绝技术的哲学框架

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

  1. 跑可证伪测试

    • 完成标准: 对主张问「它能做出可证伪的预测吗?失败时我能发现吗?」;不能→标记为「非基本真理」
  2. 跑亲自验证

    • 完成标准: 若主张可体验(冥想/断食/练习),设计一个 30 天亲测计划,记录前后差异
  3. 按结果取舍

    • 完成标准: 保留有用的(可复现体验),舍弃没用的(无效果/无法验证),不因来源迷信也不因标签拒绝
  4. 写入个人原则

    • 完成标准: 形成 3 条自己的「相信清单」,注明每条的证据等级

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 用户寻求宗教/灵性安慰的临终关怀、哀伤场景(尊重信仰选择,不灌输理性主义)
  • 用「可证伪」标准审判一切人文领域(文学/爱/意义不适用该标准)

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • 把无法证伪当真理: 脉轮、业报等「花里胡哨的命名」不能进入基本真理
  • 迷信权威替代亲测: 一切都要亲自测试

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • 「亲自验证」本身也是主观证据,作者对玄学用可证伪标准、对自己体验用个人标准,存在双标
  • 理性主义框架对非理性需求的解释力有限

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • judgment-training: 可证伪性是判断力心智模型库之一

相关 skills (阶段 3 定稿)

  • depends-on: judgment-training(可证伪标准是判断力产物)
  • composes-with: monkey-mind-meditationlife-meaning

审计信息

  • 验证通过: V1 ✓ / V2 ✓ / V3 ✓ (v18)

Why use Rational Buddhism on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Rational Buddhism is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Rational Buddhism in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kangarooking/cangjie-skill/tree/main/books/naval-almanack-skill/rational-buddhism. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Rational Buddhism?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Rational Buddhism?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Rational Buddhism with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Rational Buddhism AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by kangarooking under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
