What it does

The Burlington Magazine is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting The Burlington Magazine or deciding whether a connoisseurship, attribution, or object-based art-history manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit as the leading venue for connoisseurship, attribution, provenance, and museum/exhibition scholarship, the evidentiary bar for object-based claims, primary-source command, house style, image-rights expectations, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Targeting The Burlington Magazine
  • Deciding whether a connoisseurship
  • Object-based art-history manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/the-burlington-magazine”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

The Burlington Magazine loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 813 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

The Burlington Magazine (the-burlington-magazine)

Journal positioning

The Burlington Magazine is the pre-eminent venue for connoisseurship and object-based art history: attribution, dating, provenance, technical and conservation findings, and the scholarship of collections, exhibitions, and the art market. Its defining expectation is a precise, well-documented contribution that advances knowledge of a specific work, group, or body of evidence — a new attribution, a rediscovery, a documentary or technical finding, or a corrective to the record — argued from direct examination of the object and the primary sources. Broad theoretical essays with no object at their center, or speculative claims unsupported by close evidence, are a poor fit here. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Burlington Magazine author instructions.

When to trigger

  • The author names The Burlington Magazine for an attribution, provenance, technical, or museum/exhibition manuscript and wants a fit/framing check.
  • An object-based finding must be tightened around its documentary and visual evidence and its place in the record.
  • The author is choosing between The Burlington Magazine and a generalist or theory-driven art-history journal.
  • The author needs the journal's connoisseurship/evidence bar and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Attribution, re-attribution, and dating of works, argued from direct examination, style, and documentary evidence.
  • Provenance research, rediscoveries, and corrections to the historical record of specific works or groups.
  • Technical art history and conservation findings — materials, technique, underdrawing, and scientific examination — bearing on attribution or understanding.
  • Documentary discoveries: archival finds, inventories, contracts, and correspondence that reshape what is known about a work, artist, or collection.
  • Scholarship of collections, museums, exhibitions, and the history of taste, collecting, and the art market.
  • Catalogue and corpus-level contributions that advance the documentation of an artist or school.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution is a precise, well-grounded object-based claim — an attribution, finding, or correction — stated clearly and supported by direct evidence.
  • Close visual and material examination of the work(s) is central; stylistic and technical observation is described exactly and tied to the conclusion.
  • Command of primary sources and documents — archival records, inventories, provenance trails, technical reports — is thorough and read critically.
  • Where relevant, technical and scientific evidence (imaging, materials analysis) is reported accurately and its limits acknowledged.
  • Engagement with the existing literature and catalogues situates the claim against prior attributions and the documentary record.
  • Conclusions are proportionate to the evidence; alternatives are weighed, and uncertainty is stated rather than overclaimed.

Structure & house style

  • Focused article or shorter note built around a specific object, finding, or documentary discovery; re-check current article types and length expectations on the live guide.
  • Citation follows the journal's current style with full notes; provenance and archival references follow the journal's form.
  • Anonymization for review per current policy where applicable (self-citations and acknowledgements).
  • Image rights are central and the journal is illustration-led: secure high-quality reproduction permissions for every work discussed, including comparative images and technical photographs, and budget for fees before acceptance.
  • Figures must meet the journal's specifications (high resolution, format, captions, credit lines, dimensions and medium) with permissions and an illustration list.
  • Foreign-language documents are quoted and translated per policy; transcriptions of archival sources follow the journal's conventions.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the journal's publisher anchors, then cite the current Burlington Magazine page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "The Burlington Magazine submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
  • Re-check article types (article vs. shorter note), length expectations, and any abstract requirement.
  • Confirm the citation/style format and any anonymization for review.
  • Re-check image-reproduction permissions, high-resolution figure specifications, the illustration list, and any reproduction-cost policy.
  • Re-check competing-interest, funding (if applicable), and AI-use disclosure, plus any translation/transcription policy for archival sources.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The object-based claim (attribution, finding, or correction) is stated precisely and is the center of the piece.
  • Close visual/technical examination and documentary evidence directly support the conclusion.
  • Primary sources, provenance, and prior catalogues are addressed and the claim's uncertainty is stated.
  • Anonymization for review (where required) follows current policy.
  • High-resolution reproduction permissions are secured and figures meet specifications.
  • Archival transcriptions and non-English documents are quoted and translated per policy.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A broad theoretical essay with no specific object or documentary evidence at its center.
  • An attribution or provenance claim that overreaches the evidence or ignores prior catalogues.
  • Vague stylistic assertion not anchored in close examination or technical/documentary support.
  • Speculative reconstruction unsupported by archival or material evidence.
  • Missing high-resolution image permissions, or figures below the journal's specification.
  • Wrong venue: a conceptual or theory-driven argument better served by a generalist or theory journal.

Re-routing decision

  • Broad, all-periods generalist art-history article → the-art-bulletin.
  • Theoretically and methodologically reflective art history → art-history.
  • Contemporary art, criticism, theory, or the avant-garde → october.
  • Interdisciplinary critical theory across the humanities → critical-inquiry.
  • Aesthetics / philosophy of art is the core contribution → the-journal-of-aesthetics-and-art-criticism.
