Individual skill
ci-citation-and-style
Use to format a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay's references and figures to journal standard — Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) footnotes numbered consecutively, no works-cited list, with all bibliographical information carried in the notes (and counted toward the word limit), plus images supplied as separate 300 ppi JPEG/TIFF with author-secured permissions. Formats the apparatus; it does not write the argument.

# Citation & Style (ci-citation-and-style)
CI's scholarly apparatus is **footnotes, not author-date**. Footnote style **roughly follows The
Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition**; notes are **numbered consecutively** through the manuscript;
there is **no separate list of works cited** — full bibliographical information lives in the notes.
And because the word limit **counts all of that**, the apparatus is part of the writing problem, not
an afterthought. Verify the current edition and wording on the official page.
## When to trigger
- Setting up or cleaning citations before submission
- Converting an author-date draft to Chicago **notes** style
- Preparing the figure list, captions, and credit lines
- Checking that notes are not silently blowing the word budget
