+The 211 fixtures under `tests/fidelity.jsonl` used to be just fixtures — `scripts/test-fidelity.py` only printed to stdout, and no scored run had ever been committed. On 2026-08-18 we ran and committed the first real baseline (commit [`c697d5d`](https://github.com/xr843/Master-skill/commit/c697d5d3be78ce6738cf1f969ca057c7e4c16bb5), model `claude-sonnet-4-6`):
 
-### Installation
-
-**NPX (recommended, no global state)**
-
-`npx master-skill install --all` installs all 19 skills: 15 personas, 3 teaching modes, and the `create-master` generator. The generator is copied as a self-contained runtime, so it remains usable after the transient npx package directory is removed; reinstall and `update --all` refresh the runtime while preserving user-generated personas under `create-master/masters/`.
+| | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Passed / measured | **59 / 84 (70%)** |
+| Coverage of the full suite | 84 / 211 (40%) — the run stopped partway when the API account's credit balance ran out (HTTP 400), not from rate limiting or a code bug; the remaining 127 cases were never evaluated and are **not** counted as failures |
+| Where real failures cluster | Missing expected keyword 14/25; forbidden phrase present 12/25; missing citation 5/25; fabricated citations 0 — **but that audit ran on only 6 of the 84 cases**, see below |
+| By test type | ordinary doctrine 43/48 = **89.6%**; boundary 12/26 = **46.2%**; citation-under-pressure 4/10 = **40.0%** — the weakness is in the guardrails, not the doctrinal content |
+| ⚠️ Instrument warning | 10 of the 12 forbidden-phrase failures name a term **that already appears in the question** (these are trap questions), and the check is a plain substring match on the response — a correct refusal fails it exactly as hard as a real violation. **So the true rate is in [70.2%, 75.0%]** — only 4 of the 10 would flip; the other 6 fail on independent checks. See the baseline report |
+| ⚠️ What the fabrication audit actually covered | The audit is **opt-in per fixture**: 7 of 211 fixtures set `must_cite_only_existing_sources` (six in `master-curriculum`, one in `master-huineng`), and only six were reached — **no master persona was ever checked for a fabricated citation**. Its id pattern also recognises CBETA ids only, so the six masters declaring `PTS:` / `Toh:` / `BDRC:` / `SuttaCentral` sources (all of Theravāda and all of Tibetan) cannot be audited even with the flag set. Corrected 2026-08-31; this row previously read "zero fabricated citations" |

-### Teaching Modes (v0.7)
+Once installed, invoke `/master-huineng`, `/compare-masters`, etc. directly in chat.
 
-- **`/compare-masters`** — multiple masters answer the same question side-by-side (horizontal, single-turn)
-- **`/master-debate`** — masters from different traditions engage in a 4-round adversarial dialectic (claim → rebut → respond → synthesize + remaining disagreements)
-- **`/master-curriculum`** — given your target tradition and current level (L0-L3), get a time-sequenced study path (foundation → intermediate → advanced + likely blind spots)
-
-**`/compare-masters` usage examples:**
-
-```
-# Auto-pick relevant masters
-/compare-masters what is emptiness
-
-# Manually pick masters (recommended for precise results)
-/compare-masters how to read the Heart Sutra --masters master-xuanzang,master-huineng,master-zhiyi
-
-# Natural-language triggers
-compare Huineng and Yinguang on nianfo
-how do Chan and Pure Land differ on practice
-```
-
-**Selection logic**: the command first tries to extract keywords from the question and match them against each master's core concepts; if nothing matches strongly, it falls back to topic mapping (nianfo / meditation / Yogacara-Madhyamaka / classification, etc.). **If the auto-pick feels off, use `--masters` to override.**
-
-### Generate a Custom Master
-
-```
-/create-master Hongyi
-```
-
-Or use natural language:
-
-```
-Create a persona for Master Hongyi
-```
-
-The system will guide you through a three-step intake, then automatically collect data from FoJin and generate the doctrinal analysis and style files.

 ## Pre-built Masters
 
-### Nāgārjuna (c. 150-250) — Indian · Madhyamaka
-
-The founder of Mahāyāna Madhyamaka, revered in Chinese Buddhism as the **common patriarch of the eight schools** — Sanlun, Tiantai, Pure Land, Huayan, and Chan all trace their lineage back to him, and the Tibetan prasaṅgika Madhyamaka takes him as its root authority. He used the **eightfold negation of the middle way** to dismantle all conceptual proliferation, opened up dependent origination as emptiness with "whatever arises through conditions, that I declare to be emptiness," taught by way of the **two truths** while resolving into ultimate emptiness and the quiescence of proliferation, and distinguished the **easy and difficult paths** of practice. His *Mūlamadhyamakakārikā* is the root treatise of all later Madhyamaka study, and his *Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra* is an encyclopedia of the Prajñāpāramitā teachings.
-Primary sources: CBETA — Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (T30n1564), Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra (T25n1509), Dvādaśanikāya-śāstra (T30n1568), Vigrahavyāvartanī (T32n1631), Daśabhūmika-vibhāṣā (T26n1521).

Established the foundation of the Sanlun (Madhyamaka) school in China.
-Primary sources: CBETA — Lotus Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Vimalakirti Sutra, Mulamadhyamakakarika, Mahaprajnaparamita-sastra.
-Invoke: `/master-kumarajiva`
-
-### Master Huineng (638-713)
-
-The Sixth Patriarch of Chan Buddhism, founder of the Southern School. An illiterate woodcutter who attained enlightenment upon hearing the Diamond Sutra.

-Primary sources: CBETA — Platform Sutra (T48n2008).
-Invoke: `/master-huineng`
-
-### Master Zhiyi (538-597)
-
-Founder of the Tiantai school, honored as "the Little Shakyamuni of the East." Established the first comprehensive doctrinal classification system in Chinese Buddhism (Five Periods, Eight Teachings). Authored the Three Great Works of Tiantai. Core teachings: three thousand realms in a single thought-moment, perfect interfusion of the three truths, dual cultivation of samatha and vipasyana.
-Primary sources: CBETA — Mohe Zhiguan (T46n1911), Fahua Xuanyi (T33n1718).
-Invoke: `/master-zhiyi`
-
-### Master Fazang (643-712)
-
-Third Patriarch and true systematizer of the Huayan school. National Preceptor under Empress Wu Zetian. Used the Golden Lion treatise to explain Huayan philosophy. Core teachings: dharmadhatu dependent origination, four dharma-realms, ten mysterious gates, six characteristics in perfect harmony.

-### Master Ouyi (1599-1655)
-
-One of the Four Great Masters of Late Ming Buddhism, 9th Patriarch of Pure Land. His motto: "Doctrine follows Tiantai, practice returns to Pure Land." The most important cross-tradition synthesizer in Chinese Buddhist history. His commentary on the Amitabha Sutra was praised by Master Yinguang as unsurpassable.

-### Atiśa Dīpaṃkara (982-1054) — Tibetan · Kadam · Indo-Tibetan bridge
-
-Royal-born Indian master from the Sahor kingdom (modern Bangladesh). Studied Madhyamaka, Yogācāra and tantra at Vikramaśīla; received the bodhicitta lineage from Dharmakīrti of Suvarṇadvīpa (Sumatra). Invited to Tibet in 1042 by King Yeshe Ö to reform a tradition where Vinaya had decayed and tantra had become disconnected from sūtra foundations. His *Bodhipathapradīpa* (Toh 4465) became the source text for all later Tibetan *lamrim* literature. His chief disciple Dromtönpa founded Reting Monastery, originating the **Kadam school** — later succeeded by Tsongkhapa's "New Kadam" (Gelug). All four Tibetan schools recognize him as a root teacher.

-### Tsongkhapa (1357-1419) — Tibetan · Gelug founder
-
-Founder of the **Gelug school** (dGe lugs pa, "the way of virtue"; popularly known as the "Yellow Hat school") — basis of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama lineages. Born in Tsongkha (Qinghai). Studied with masters across all major schools, particularly the Sakya scholar Rendawa for prasaṅgika Madhyamaka. Reformed lax monastic discipline, integrated sūtra and tantra into a strict graduated path, and produced the great triology: *Lamrim Chenmo* (Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path), *sNgags rim chen mo* (Great Treatise on Tantra), and *Drang nges legs bshad snying po* (Essence of True Eloquence — definitive vs interpretable meaning). Founded Ganden Monastery (1409) — the seat of the school.

-
-### Milarepa (1052-1135) — Tibetan · Kagyu
-
-Spiritual ancestor of the Tibetan Kagyu lineage and the paradigm of the "yogi tradition" (no monastery, mountain retreat, teaching through song). After committing serious harm in his youth through black magic, he sought purification under Marpa the Translator, who put him through severe trials before transmitting the complete Mahāmudrā and Naro Chodruk lineages. He spent decades in Himalayan retreat, surviving on nettles, and taught through extemporaneous **mGur** (songs of realization) — shaping the entire later Tibetan tradition.

-
-### Buddhaghosa (5th century) — Theravāda · commentarial summit
-
-The most influential commentator and śāstra master in Theravāda history. Born a brahmin scholar in southern India, he travelled to the Mahāvihāra in Anurādhapura (Sri Lanka) to translate the old Sinhala commentaries (*Sīhaḷa-aṭṭhakathā*) into Pali. To prove his competence, he first composed the *Visuddhimagga* — a 23-chapter encyclopedia of Theravāda meditation and doctrine organized around the threefold training of **sīla, samādhi, paññā**. He then translated the four Nikāya commentaries, the Vinaya commentary *Samantapāsādikā*, and the Abhidhamma commentaries. His framework defines orthodox Theravāda exegesis to this day across Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
-Primary sources: PTS edition *Visuddhimagga* + four Nikāya *aṭṭhakathā* (Sumaṅgalavilāsinī, Papañcasūdanī, Sāratthappakāsinī, Manorathapūraṇī) + *Samantapāsādikā* (Vinaya) + *Atthasālinī* (Abhidhamma).
-Invoke: `/master-buddhaghosa`
-
-### Mahāsi Sayādaw U Sobhana (1904-1982) — Theravāda · Burmese vipassanā
-
-One of the most internationally influential meditation masters of modern Burma. Recognized as a *Pariyatti Sāsanahita* — the highest scriptural qualification in Burmese monasticism — by age 27. Studied four-foundations vipassanā with U Nārada (Mingun Sayadaw) from 1932. Established the **Mahasi Sasana Yeiktha** retreat center in Yangon in 1947, formalizing the **noting method** (rising-falling at the abdomen as primary object) tied to Visuddhimagga's seven purifications and sixteen insight knowledges. Served as *Final Editor* of the Sixth Buddhist Council (1954-1956) — the largest modern revision of the Pali Canon. His lineage profoundly shaped the founders of America's Insight Meditation Society (Goldstein, Salzberg, Kornfield).
-Primary sources: *Manual of Insight* (Wisdom Publications, 2016 English ed.), *The Progress of Insight* (BPS Sri Lanka Wheel No. 280), *Practical Vipassanā Meditation Exercises* (Mahasi Sasana Yeiktha).
-Invoke: `/master-mahasi-sayadaw`

-> ⚠️ **The AI must never confirm any individual's stage of insight or attainment of fruition.** Verification requires face-to-face interview with a qualified teacher. This is the strictest guardrail in this skill — the Mahasi tradition's "fruition is attainable" framing is famous for inducing self-attainment delusions, and the AI is forbidden from playing that role.
-
-### Ajahn Chah Subhaddo (1918-1992) — Theravāda · Thai Forest
-
-One of the most internationally influential masters of the Thai Forest Tradition. Renowned for strict Vinaya observance, four-foundations-of-mindfulness practice, and plain, life-grounded teaching style. His Western disciples (Ajahn Sumedho, Ajahn Pasanno, Ajahn Amaro and others) established Abhayagiri (California), Amaravati (UK), Cittaviveka (UK) and other branch monasteries, carrying the forest tradition to the West. Most-quoted line: *"If you let go a little, you have a little peace; if you let go completely, you have complete peace."*
-Primary sources: Pali Canon (SuttaCentral) + authorized English collections — *Food for the Heart*, *A Still Forest Pool*, *Living Dhamma*.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-**Q: Does it still work when the FoJin API is unreachable?**
-
-Yes. Each prebuilt master ships with `prebuilt/<name>/sources/` — key passages from that master's core canon, stored offline. When FoJin is down, the master degrades to offline mode and declares "currently running on offline passages" in the reply. The `/create-master` pipeline asks the user to switch to manual-input mode when the API fails, so you can paste source text and continue.
-
-**Q: What does a valid CBETA citation look like, and how are sources verified?**
-
-CBETA citations use a `Txxn####` identifier (for example, the Lotus Sutra is `T09n0262`); Tibetan, Pali, and compiled-teaching personas use the BDRC / Toh, SuttaCentral / PTS, or teaching IDs declared in `meta.json.sources[]`. `scripts/validate-citation-contract.py` and `tools/verify_sources.py --check-links/--final-check` validate source families, identifier shapes, declared membership, and contract consistency offline. They do not parse free-text citations or guarantee HTTP reachability. The legacy online `verify_sources.py --fix` audit covers CBETA / FoJin links only.
-
-**Q: `npx master-skill install` fails with ENOTEMPTY or a permission error — what now?**
-
-Clean up any leftover `~/.claude/skills/master-<name>/` directories before retrying. For npm-cache weirdness, run `npm cache clean --force` and rerun NPX. Windows users should execute from Git Bash or WSL to avoid cmd.exe path-escaping issues.
-
-**Q: The generated master says things that don't match the historical record — how do I correct it?**
-
-Just tell the master in-chat: "he wouldn't phrase it like that" or "he should sound more stern." The `/create-master` correction mode classifies the fix (doctrinal → appended to `teaching.md`; stylistic → appended to `voice.md`), writes it as a `## Correction` block with timestamp, and bumps the patch version. Correction blocks take priority over analysis-generated content at runtime.
-
-**Q: How do I contribute a new prebuilt master?**
-
-See "Contributing" below. The short version: follow the v0.3 layout under `prebuilt/<name>/`, pass `scripts/validate.py --strict` with zero errors, ship at least 5 fidelity Q&A samples in `tests/fidelity.jsonl`, then open a PR.
