What it does

Artbull Visual Analysis is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when performing the close visual and formal analysis that anchors an Art Bulletin article — describing and interpreting composition, form, medium, facture, scale, and viewing conditions of specific works, tied to numbered figures. Close looking is the discipline's core method. Guides the analysis; it does not invent what is not in the object.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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

  • Performing the close visual and formal analysis that anchors an Art Bulletin article — describing and interpreting composition
  • Viewing conditions of specific works
  • Tied to numbered figures

Example prompts

  • “/artbull-visual-analysis”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Describe precisely, then interpret. Composition, line, color, light, space, scale, format,
  2. Tie every claim to a figure. "Figure 3 shows…"; if a detail carries weight, reproduce a
  3. Attend to the material object. Original scale, support, technique, condition, and later
  4. Use comparison deliberately. Comparanda should do argumentative work (attribution, influence,
  5. Reconstruct viewing conditions. Original site, scale, light, ritual or social use, and
  6. Respect the limits of looking. Distinguish what the object shows from what documents or context

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 Visual Analysis loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~873

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 353 words (~873 tokens).

“Close looking is the method that distinguishes art history. An Art Bulletin article must make the reader see the work and then show how what is seen carries meaning. Every visual claim must be checkable against a numbered figure the…”
