Teach your AI what you believe
Open source skill files that tell AI assistants about your faith and religious values — so their answers are grounded in what you believe, when it matters. And only when it matters.

“Write them on the tablet of your heart.”
Proverbs 7:3
Your AI already knows your calendar. Should it not know your convictions?
Your AI drafts your words, answers your children’s questions, and helps you weigh decisions. It is trained on the internet’s average — not on what you hold sacred.
A skill file is a small plain-text document that travels with your AI. It describes your tradition, your practices, and your values — and tells the assistant when to bring them into frame and when to stay out of the way.
Every file here is open source, human-readable, and yours to edit. No accounts, no tracking, no lock-in. Download one, make it your own, and hand it to any AI that reads skill files.
Three steps. No accounts. Plain text.
Choose your tradition
Pick the skill file that matches your faith — or start from the blank template and write your own. Each file is a short Markdown document you can read in full before you use it.
Add it to your AI
Drop the file into your assistant’s skills folder — ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code — or paste it into custom instructions in ChatGPT, Gemini, or any assistant that accepts them.
It stays in frame
When conversations touch ethics, family, holidays, or big decisions, your assistant keeps your values in view. For everything else, it stays out of the way — the files say so explicitly.
Eight traditions. One template. All plain text.
Written with care, reviewed in the open, and meant to be edited. Every tradition contains more than one way of believing — treat these as starting points and make them yours. ❧
