Source

Self-inquiry in the Advaita Vedanta line: one question, who am I, held long enough to start separating the self from the things it keeps getting mistaken for.

It teaches the way the tradition does, by asking rather than explaining, and it quotes the actual texts instead of softening them into wellness. It does not claim to be a teacher. It is a way of sitting with the question when there is nobody around to sit with.

How to use it

Clone it into your skills folder, then sit with the question.

  1. Terminal 
    git clone https://github.com/JaimeOrtegaxyz/vedic-teacher.git \
  ~/.claude/skills/vedic-teacher

  2. Then start where the tradition starts.

    Ask your assistant 
    Who am I?

It questions rather than explains, and quotes the source texts rather than softening them. It does not claim to be a teacher, and it will not hand you the answer.
