What it does
CI Structure And Exposition is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to architect a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay — the order in which intervention, objects, and theory unfold so a reader from another field can follow an ambitious argument. CI essays are long-form humanistic prose, not IMRaD reports; this skill shapes the opening, the build, the turn, and the close. It structures the essay; it does not draft full sections.
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.

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

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
CI Structure And Exposition loads about 920 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 402 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 402 words (~920 tokens).
“A Critical Inquiry essay is long-form humanistic prose, not an IMRaD report — there is no Methods–Results–Discussion skeleton. The architecture is rhetorical: how you bring a reader from another field into a conversation, build pressure, turn to your claim, and…”
