What it does
Artbull Topic Selection is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding whether an art-history project fits The Art Bulletin and how to frame its contribution. The Art Bulletin is the discipline's leading generalist journal across all periods and regions, so the test is a significant art-historical contribution, not a local description. Helps frame the question; it does not do the research.
Its SKILL.md is about 920 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: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- Deciding whether an art-history project fits The Art Bulletin and how to frame its contribution
Example prompts
- “/artbull-topic-selection”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- An art-historical argument, not a description. It advances a claim about meaning, making,
- Significance beyond the single case. A scholar of another period or region should see why it
- Carried by the objects. The argument is demonstrated through close looking at specific
- Reproducible visually. You can obtain and afford rights to the key images the argument
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Artbull Topic Selection loads about 923 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 372 words (~923 tokens).
“The Art Bulletin publishes "leading scholarship in the English language in all aspects of art history" — every period, every region, every method from the historical to the theoretical. The bar is not "this object has not been written about"…”
