Use when helping users divide biblical books into sessions for sermon series, Bible study, or devotional reading. Use when user asks to segment, divide, or outline any biblical book. Use when user provides a verse range and asks for reading slices, reading portions, or SOAP/devotional divisions within a pericope.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Biblical Text Segmentation

## Model selection

Use Sonnet by default for delegated work. Explicit `model: opus` escalation is allowed
when the study warrants it; preserve an existing Opus selection. Never request Haiku,
inherit it, or use a built-in delegate that selects it. If this context is running on
Haiku, stop before study work and request a switch to Sonnet or Opus.

## Overview

Help users divide biblical books into coherent textual units for teaching, study, or devotional reading. Present scholarly-grounded options while respecting textual integrity.

**Core commitment:** Never divide text in ways that violate literary structure. When a book cannot segment into the requested sessions, explain why and offer alternatives.

## Step Zero — Spawn data-retriever (MANDATORY)

**Before checking any rule, before determining mode, before generating ANY output: spawn data-retriever.**

```
Agent tool:
  subagent_type: "coa:data-retriever"
  run_in_background: false
  prompt: "Gather all relevant data for [book] [range if applicable]."
```

**Spawn synchronously and unnamed.** `run_in_background: false` is required — without it

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davebream/claude-of-alexandria/biblical-segmentation@sha256:cdde971bb3e0eab5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
