separate

Use as the entry point for any Critical Inquiry (CI) essay. Routes to the right CI sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which format (Article, Critical Response, Review) fits. CI is an interdisciplinary journal of criticism and theory in the arts and humanities; the router's job is to keep the project pointed at a bold theoretical intervention with interdisciplinary stakes. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

When to use

• Starting a new CI essay
• Deciding among Article, Critical Response, and Review formats
• Routing mid-project to the next applicable skill
• Handling decision letters and revision requests
• Identifying format drift or late-stage gatekeeping issues
• Executing a review pass with fit, evidence, writing, and source-map gates

When not to use

• Drafting content
• Treating CI as a single-discipline journal
• Producing surveys or literature reviews without a claim
• Using theory as decoration rather than an instrument
