Use when handling primary sources and archives for an American Historical Review (AHR) manuscript — distinguishing primary from secondary, criticizing sources, citing manuscripts and collections in Chicago notes, and clearing image permissions. The AHR judges history on the quality and criticism of its evidence. Strengthens source work; it does not invent archival material.

From the source SKILL.md

History at the AHR stands or falls on its primary sources and on how critically you read them. This skill is about marshaling evidence, source criticism, citing archival material correctly, and the author's responsibilities for images and permissions. It does not, ever, license inventing or embellishing a source.
