name: quantum-templ-companion description: Guide for creating companion ebooks for The Quantum Templ™ system. Use when creating sourcing guides, practical action guides, or companion materials for any of the eight Quantum Templ gates. The skill covers brand voice (technical-spiritual, direct), formatting standards, placeholder conventions for affiliate links and images, structural frameworks, and gate-specific adaptation guidance.

Quantum Templ™ Companion Ebook Skill

Purpose

This skill guides the creation of companion ebooks for The Quantum Templ™ system. Each of the eight gates has a main ebook (the teaching) and a companion ebook (the practical sourcing/action guide).

The companion ebook answers one question: "I've read the gate. Now what do I actually need to buy or do to practice this?"

Companion ebooks bridge theory → action. They are lean (15-25 pages), practical, and designed to get the reader moving — not to re-teach the gate content.

Brand Constants

Voice & Tone

• Technical-spiritual: Treat spiritual practice like engineering. Use terms like "signal," "frequency," "protocol," "debug," "system."
• Direct: No fluff, no excessive qualifiers. Say what needs to be said.
• No-nonsense: Skip vague mysticism. If something works, explain why in practical terms.
• Respectful of tradition: Honour the lineage without being preachy or dogmatic.
• First person where appropriate: The author speaks from experience.

Correct tone example:

"Metals conduct electricity. Brass and copper are excellent conductors. When you place a quality brass diya on your altar, it literally conducts the electromagnetic energy of your intention more efficiently than plastic. This isn't mystical — it's physics."

Incorrect tone example:

"The sacred brass diya holds beautiful spiritual vibrations that will uplift your consciousness and bring divine blessings into your sacred space."

Formatting Rules

See references/formatting.md for complete formatting specifications including fonts, colours, table styles, and page layout.

Content Principles

1. Quality over quantity: Recommend fewer, better items over many cheap ones.
2. Ethical sourcing: Note sustainability concerns. Prioritise ethical suppliers.
3. Practical first: Every recommendation answers "what do I actually do with this?"
4. Price transparency: Always include cost ranges with budget, mid-tier, and premium options.
5. No gatekeeping: Make practice accessible. Quality at each price point matters.

Structural Framework

Companion ebooks adapt to each gate's needs. They are NOT rigid templates.

Core Sections (adapt as needed)

1. Opening — What this companion covers, why physical items/practices matter
2. Core Sourcing — Tables of required items with purpose, cost, quality signals
3. Kits — 2-3 price tiers (Starter $40-70, Practitioner $100-150, Premium $180-250+)
4. Gate-Specific Reference — Timing charts, protocols, quick references
5. Setup/Activation — How to arrange or prepare what they've sourced
6. First Practice — Simple protocol to begin, step-by-step instructions
7. Closing — Brief reinforcement, point back to main gate ebook

Gate-Specific Questions

When building a companion, ask:

1. What physical items does this gate require?
2. What consumables need regular replenishment?
3. What timing considerations are unique?
4. What spatial/directional setup matters?
5. What's the "first practice" for this gate?
6. What archetypes or deities are relevant (if any)?
7. What safety or ethical considerations exist?
