Covers Jewish (Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash), Christian (Old and New Testament, patristic and medieval senses), Islamic (Qur'an, tafsir, asbab al-nuzul), and Daoist-Confucian classical commentary traditions. Use when a query involves reading a sacred or classical text, comparing how different traditions interpret the same passage, or understanding why a specific text is canonical to a specific community.

From the source SKILL.md

Every major religious tradition treats certain texts as authoritative and has developed disciplined practices for reading them. This skill catalogs the hermeneutic and exegetical frameworks those traditions use, the historical processes that fixed their canons, and the textual-critical tools a modern scholar brings to the question "what does this text say, and what did it mean to the community that produced it?" The posture is descriptive and comparative. The goal is to equip a reader to follow an argument about a sacred text without prior commitment to the text's authority.
