feat(v0.6): namespace all 14 master slash commands under /master-<slug> prefix
Slash command discoverability cleanup. Claude Code users typically have
50+ skills installed; bare-word commands like /atisha and /zhiyi got
scattered across the /-completion list. v0.6 prefixes all 14 master
slash commands with master- so they cluster under /m<tab> and clearly
signal "this is a Master-skill master skill".
Scope of rename
---------------
* Slash commands: /zhiyi → /master-zhiyi, /huineng → /master-huineng,
... all 14 affected.
* Directory layout: prebuilt/<slug>/ → prebuilt/master-<slug>/ for all
14 masters (git mv preserves history).
* Frontmatter: each prebuilt/master-<slug>/SKILL.md updates `name:` to
master-<slug>.
* compare-masters and create-master meta-skills are intentionally
unchanged — they're already prefixed by their nature, and
/master-compare-masters would be doublespeak.
Decoupling: fojin.app/chat is NOT affected
------------------------------------------
The fojin web frontend's master dropdown uses bare slug IDs (atisha,
huineng, ...) and is already grouped under "法师模式" in its UI. Backend
master_profiles.py keeps `id="atisha"` etc. unchanged. No fojin-side
migration required. The two surfaces (Claude Code slash + fojin
dropdown) are now formally decoupled by design, not coincidence.
Compatibility
-------------
* NPX installer accepts both forms: `npx master-skill install zhiyi`
(short) and `install master-zhiyi` (full) both resolve to the same
prebuilt/master-zhiyi/ source. Install destination is always
~/.claude/skills/master-<slug>/. Backward-compatible uninstall
handles legacy non-prefixed installs (~/.claude/skills/zhiyi/).
* The cli.mjs already used `master-${name}` for install destinations
(since v0.3 NPX installer was added), so existing v0.4/v0.5 NPX
users were already getting the prefix in skills/ — only the source
prebuilt/ layout and slash commands change in v0.6.
Files updated
-------------
* 14 directories renamed (28 files moved, 0 content changes).
* 14 SKILL.md frontmatter `name:` fields.
* prebuilt/compare/SKILL.md: 43 slug references updated to prefixed form.
* bin/cli.mjs: resolveMasterDir helper accepts both short and full;
cmdInstall and cmdUninstall handle legacy paths.
* .github/workflows/validate-and-test.yml: fidelity-smoke MASTERS
rotation array updated to all 14 prefixed names (was 8 hardcoded
汉传 only — now properly rotates across the full set).
* scripts/{validate,cite,query,test-fidelity}.py: --master arg help
text examples.
* README.md + README_EN.md: situational guidance table, install
snippets, master cards. New v0.6 release banner.
* SKILL.md (project-level) preset list with new slash names.
* ETHICS.md Tier table slug references (4).
* All plugin manifests bumped 0.5.0 → 0.6.0 with description noting
the /master-<slug> invocation pattern.
* CHANGELOG.md: [0.6.0] section with breaking-change notice and
migration commands for existing NPX users.
Validation
----------
* python scripts/validate.py --strict ✓ 15 masters pass
* python scripts/validate-fidelity.py ✓ all valid
* python scripts/test-fidelity.py --all --dry-run ✓
* pytest tests/ ✓ 31 passed, 6 skipped
* node bin/cli.mjs list ✓ shows all 14 with
master- prefix
* node bin/cli.mjs install zhiyi ✓ resolves to
prebuilt/master-zhiyi/
* node bin/cli.mjs install master-zhiyi ✓ resolves to same
Migration for existing v0.4/v0.5 users
--------------------------------------
npx master-skill@0.5 uninstall zhiyi huineng xuanzang ...
# OR: rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/{zhiyi,huineng,...}
npx master-skill@latest install --all
Then start a new Claude Code session; the new slash commands are
/master-zhiyi, /master-huineng, etc.

||||
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.

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.

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.

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).

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."*
