Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
auditing-citations
Use when citations, quotations, page numbers, bibliography entries, or source-supported claims must be checked for existence, metadata accuracy, textual fidelity, and claim–source fit.
skills/auditing-citations/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
checking-terminology-consistency
Use when a manuscript contains recurring concepts, translations, abbreviations, proper names, or near-synonyms whose meanings and forms must remain stable across the argument.
skills/checking-terminology-consistency/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
conducting-literature-dialogue
Use when a humanities researcher needs to transform verified sources into a structured scholarly conversation rather than a chronological list of summaries.
skills/conducting-literature-dialogue/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
formulating-research-question
Use when a humanities researcher has a broad topic, intuition, corpus, or problem but does not yet have a precise, contestable, and researchable question.
skills/formulating-research-question/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
mapping-concept-lineage
Use when a humanities argument depends on a concept whose history, competing definitions, translations, or boundaries must be reconstructed before the concept can support new claims.
skills/mapping-concept-lineage/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
performing-close-reading
Use when an interpretation must be grounded in specific textual, visual, rhetorical, formal, interface, archival, performative, or material features rather than thematic summary or theoretical labeling.
skills/performing-close-reading/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
planning-humanities-argument
Use when a research question, scope boundary, and source base exist but the manuscript still needs a defensible sequence of claims, warrants, evidence, objections, and section functions.
skills/planning-humanities-argument/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
responding-to-peer-review
Use when authors must interpret real reviewer comments, decide how to revise a humanities manuscript, and produce a transparent point-by-point response grounded in actual changes.
skills/responding-to-peer-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
reviewing-manuscript
Use when a humanities manuscript needs an evidence-based, whole-document review of research question, scope, concepts, argument, interpretation, citations, structure, and contribution.
skills/reviewing-manuscript/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
scoping-argument-boundary
Use when a research question is promising but its corpus, period, comparison, concepts, or claim size remain too broad or unstable for a defensible humanities argument.
skills/scoping-argument-boundary/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
stress-testing-argument
Use when a thesis, concept, interpretation, or manuscript needs disciplined adversarial testing against counterexamples, rival explanations, category errors, scale violations, false novelty, and unresolved ethical risks.
skills/stress-testing-argument/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
structuring-humanities-argument
Use when a researcher has an approved argument map, source-grounded notes, interpretations, and draft passages that need organization and logical repair without delegating the original scholarly contribution to the agent.
skills/structuring-humanities-argument/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
using-humanities-superpowers
Use when an agent must classify a task as research, code, or hybrid, calibrate process depth, select the smallest sufficient route across the Humanities and Engineering cores, handle failed gates, and preserve a resumable workflow.
skills/using-humanities-superpowers/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
verifying-before-submission
Use when a humanities manuscript is about to be submitted or resubmitted and requires a final evidence-based gate covering argument, citations, terminology, files, author information, venue requirements, and disclosure.
skills/verifying-before-submission/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
