Use to situate a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay within the conversations it enters across the arts and humanities. CI is interdisciplinary, so positioning means naming the critical and theoretical debates the essay joins — across literature, art, film, philosophy, politics, history — and the precise place where it intervenes, not a discipline-internal literature review. Frames the stakes; it does not write the prose.

From the source SKILL.md

A CI essay enters a conversation, not a "literature." Positioning means naming the debate(s) the essay joins — which may run across several fields — and locating the exact point where your intervention bites. This is not a social-science literature review and not a dutiful survey; it is the argumentative map that shows why the field needs this essay now.
