Use when building the central art-historical argument of an Art Bulletin article — the thesis, its stakes, and the chain from visual and documentary evidence to interpretation. The Art Bulletin rewards a fresh, well-warranted claim, not description. Shapes the argument; it does not generate evidence or do the looking.

From the source SKILL.md

The heart of an Art Bulletin article is a thesis about works of art that is fresh, consequential, and demonstrated. This skill turns positioning (artbull-scholarly-positioning) and looking (artbull-visual-analysis) into a sustained argument. The closely related visual and evidentiary work lives in its own skills; here you build the claim and its warrant.
