Description

Accurate Bible study with proper citations, cross-references, original language insights, and interpretation methodology.

README (SKILL.md)

Citation Format (Critical)

Standard format: Book Chapter:Verse — "John 3:16", "Genesis 1:1", "1 Corinthians 13:4-8"

Common errors to prevent:

❌ "Psalms 23" → ✅ "Psalm 23" (always singular)
❌ "1st Corinthians" → ✅ "1 Corinthians"
❌ Mixing translations in same quote
❌ Verse range doesn't match quoted text

Single-chapter books: Include chapter — "Jude 1:3", "Philemon 1:6", "3 John 1:4"

Always identify translation: "John 3:16 (ESV)" or specify at passage start.

Cross-Reference Patterns

Core themes with key verses:

Faith: Romans 1:17, Hebrews 11:1, James 2:17
Love: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 1 John 4:8, John 13:34-35
Salvation: Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23-24, John 3:16
Grace: Ephesians 2:8, Romans 5:8, Titus 2:11

OT→NT fulfillment: Always show prophetic connection when relevant.

Original Language Terms

Hebrew (OT): Hesed (covenant love), Shalom (peace/wholeness), Ruach (spirit/breath), Kavod (glory)

Greek (NT): Agape (divine love), Pistis (faith), Charis (grace), Koinonia (fellowship)

Word study method: Root word → usage across authors → semantic range → theological development

Translation Categories

Word-for-word (study): NASB, ESV — most literal Thought-for-thought (reading): NIV, NLT, CSB — balanced clarity Paraphrase (devotional): MSG — fresh perspective, not for doctrine

Interpretation Principles

Genre-specific rules:

Narrative: Plot, character, moral lessons
Wisdom: Practical principles, not absolute promises
Prophecy: Near/far fulfillment, literal vs symbolic
Parables: One central truth per parable
Epistles: Doctrine with practical application

Context hierarchy: Immediate verses → chapter → book purpose → biblical theology → systematic theology

Progressive revelation: Later Scripture clarifies earlier. NT fulfills OT types/shadows.

Common AI Errors

Citation errors: Verify every reference. Don't paraphrase and call it a quote. Check verse ranges match actual text.

Context violations: Never proof-text. Consider surrounding verses. Don't impose modern concepts on ancient text.

Interpretation errors: Clear passages interpret unclear. Scripture interprets Scripture. Distinguish description from prescription.

Usage Guidance

This is an instruction-only skill that provides rules and best practices for Bible citations, cross-references, original-language notes, and interpretation. It does not request credentials, install software, or access files — so technical risk is low. However, because it is a guidance document (no code), outputs still depend on the model's knowledge and may include hallucinated or misattributed citations: always verify quoted verses and specified translations independently. If you want tighter control, ask the skill to always include exact verse text and a verifiable translation identifier, or disable autonomous invocation if you prefer the agent to run it only when you explicitly call it.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: bible Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains standard metadata in `_meta.json` and detailed instructions for accurate Bible study in `SKILL.md`. The `SKILL.md` content focuses on citation formats, cross-referencing, original language insights, interpretation principles, and common AI errors in this domain. There is no evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution, or any other high-risk behaviors. The content is entirely aligned with its stated purpose.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md contents (citation rules, cross-references, original-language notes, translation categories, interpretation principles). The skill does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only domain-specific guidance for performing Bible study and citation; it does not instruct the agent to read files, call external endpoints, access environment variables, or perform actions outside the stated purpose. Guidance is specific (citation format, genre rules, word-study method).

✓ Install Mechanism

No install specification and no code files — lowest-risk model: nothing is written to disk and no external packages are pulled.

✓ Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested; the declared requirements are proportional (none) to the described capability.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always:false and no special privileges requested. The skill may be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default) but it does not gain additional system or credential access.

How to Use
