An agent skill for humanities scholars whose primary deliverable is a long-form argumentative text — history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies, art history, religious studies, classics. Written in the open Agent Skills (SKILL.md) format — works with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, and any agent that supports the format.

Positioning
End-to-end writing assistant for humanities scholars — covering the full lifecycle of a humanities paper from research question to submission disclosure:
research question → literature map → planning → drafting → revision →
adversarial review → AI-trace cleanup → blind-reading check → AI-use disclosure
Built for fields where prose IS the argument — history, philosophy, literature, cultural studies, art history, religious studies, classics, intellectual history, science studies, and adjacent humanities-aligned fields.
Not a polishing tool. Not a citation manager. Not a research pipeline. A thinking partner that stays with you across the whole arc.
12 modes covering the writing lifecycle
| Stage | Modes |
|---|---|
| Pre-writing | Mode H · Research-question sharpening · Mode I · Literature mapping · Mode J · Plan-only outlining |
| Drafting | Mode C · Conception → new content · Mode A · Paragraph dialogue |
| Review | Mode B · Chapter review (4-layer critique) · Mode D · Devil's advocate (calibratable 1–5 + methodology-focus) |
| Revision | Mode E · Writing-bottleneck assistance · Mode F · Draft revision (with revision-coach sub-mode) |
| Pre-submission | Mode G · Blind reading · Mode K · AI-use disclosure |
| Post-review | Mode L · Revision workflow (defense/external-review comment integration, revision-dossier system) |
Plus a citation toolchain (scripts/): consistency checking, format conversion (Chicago / MLA / APA / GB7714), and metadata candidate lookup through Crossref/OpenAlex (not source-text or claim verification). In agent-capable environments (e.g., Claude Code), Mode B/D reviews can fan out to parallel reviewer agents, and pending claims can be checked against sources with provenance, support, and limitations recorded separately.
