# Calling Discerner

A standalone agent skill for discerning your divine calling using Christian first principles.

Built on the framework in ["The Calling Calculator: Divine First Principles for Discerning Your Assignment"](https://faithwalk.os/perspectives/the-calling-calculator). Part of [Faith Walk OS](https://faithwalk.os).

## What it does

Interviews you across the full Conference of Influences (recurring promptings, burdens, wise counsel, signs, Scripture, dreams, self-signals), filters candidates against Scripture, and surfaces up to three Calling Candidates with:

- Convergence scores (how many independent channels point at it)
- Scripture that supports it
- A next obedient step you can take in 7-30 days
- Recognition questions to take into prayer

It does not claim to hear God for you. It does not pick your calling for you. It hands every output back to prayer and the Holy Spirit, who has final authority.

## Install

Download the `SKILL.md` file and drop it into your agent's skills directory. The file is framework-agnostic. It works with:

### Claude Code

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/calling-discerner
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/calling-discerner/SKILL.md https://faithwalk.os/skills/calling-discerner/SKILL.md
```

Then invoke with `/calling-discerner` or reference it in a conversation.

### Claude Agent SDK / custom agents

Read `SKILL.md` into your agent's system prompt or as a loadable skill. The frontmatter tells the agent when to use it.

### Cursor / Windsurf

Create a `.cursorrules` or workspace rules file and paste the body of `SKILL.md` in. Remove the frontmatter — Cursor doesn't use it.

### ChatGPT / generic chat interfaces

Paste the full `SKILL.md` body into custom instructions or a system prompt. Then start a conversation with: "Run the calling discerner on me."

### Other agent frameworks

The skill is a self-contained markdown file with a YAML frontmatter block. Most modern agent frameworks (Hermes, OpenClaw, LangGraph, etc.) can consume this format directly or with minimal adaptation.

## License

Public domain. Fork it, modify it, wrap it in your own product. If you improve it, please publish your fork so the body of Christ benefits. Credit appreciated but not required.

## Theology

This skill is built on specific theological premises — calling predates the person, the Holy Spirit is supreme authority, Scripture is the non-negotiable filter, convergence is confirmation, obedience unlocks revelation, calling is specific, fruit validates.

If you do not share these premises, the skill will not serve you well. Consider reading the companion perspective piece first: ["The Calling Calculator: Divine First Principles for Discerning Your Assignment"](https://faithwalk.os/perspectives/the-calling-calculator).
