structuring-humanities-argument

structuring-humanities-argument is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,939 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid for organizing researcher-supplied material into a clear humanities section or manuscript. It keeps source wording, the researcher's ideas, uncertainty, and the agent's connecting text distinguishable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an approved argument map, notes, evidence, interpretations, and draft passages into an outline, paragraph plan, or revised draft. It can also provide provenance notes, gap markers, alternative sequences, and a review report.
Why use it?
It helps repair the order and logic of an argument without inventing the original scholarly contribution. It also marks missing support, unclear reasoning, and material that may be misplaced.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

structuring-humanities-argument scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Structuring a Humanities Argument

Purpose

Organize researcher-provided intellectual material into a coherent section or manuscript while preserving provenance, uncertainty, and authorial responsibility. This skill repairs sequence, paragraph function, transitions, redundancy, and missing warrants; it is not a ghostwriting license.

Contract

Accepts

  • An approved argument map or thesis-and-claims structure.
  • Researcher-authored notes, draft passages, definitions, interpretations, and verified evidence.
  • Genre, audience, length, and stylistic constraints.

Requires

  • A researcher-approved thesis or central claim.
  • Enough evidence and interpretation to support the requested unit.
  • Clear separation, where possible, among source language, researcher language, and agent-proposed connective language.

Produces

  • A structured outline, paragraph plan, or revised draft based on supplied material.
  • Inline provenance and gap markers.
  • A provenance note describing transformations.
  • A structuring gate report.

May produce

  • Alternative sequences with trade-offs.
  • A list of surplus or misplaced material.
  • FAIL when the requested contribution would need to be invented.

Fails when

  • No thesis or argument map has been approved.
  • The evidence base is too thin for the requested prose.
  • The agent cannot distinguish quotation, paraphrase, and researcher-authored claim.
  • The request asks the agent to invent the scholar’s original theory, interpretation, or personal voice.

Guarantees

  • New factual and bibliographic claims will not be introduced without explicit support.
  • Missing warrants and author decisions will remain marked.
  • The provenance note will distinguish reordering, compression, paraphrase, and newly proposed connective language.

Does not guarantee

  • Originality, stylistic excellence, publication readiness, or authentic representation of the researcher’s voice.
  • That structurally coherent prose is substantively correct.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

structuring-humanities-argument is a skill published in the GitHub repository icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,939 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
