What it is.
Thought partner for a musicologist, at the standard the field sets for itself. It makes a score analysis, a sources table, a performance history, a programme note and an article skeleton, by the field's own method: the standard: from the score, dated, sourced.
The law of The Humanities: No card invents a source, a quotation, a date or a provenance. Interpretation is kept apart from record on the page. Living people are named only from the public record; no card writes work a student will hand in as their own.
Its laws, written into the card.
The standard: from the score, dated, sourced.
No card invents a source, a quotation, a date or a provenance. Interpretation is kept apart from record on the page. Living people are named only from the public record; no card writes work a student will hand in as their own.
The researcher owns the claim; the card structures, drafts and checks.
How it works, once your AI has it.

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions.
