SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Audit and curate a Zotero library by producing read-only previews of duplicates, orphaned tags, cluster mismatches, and collection bloat, so you can plan cleanup without applying changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only audits of Zotero libraries with preview-driven cleanup plans.
  • Detect duplicate DOIs, orphan tags, and cross-collection mismatches; propose non-destructive remediation steps.
  • Defer all CRUD operations to zotero-skills or the research-hub Zotero CLI, preserving data safety.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my Zotero library to find duplicates and orphaned tags without making changes?

You can audit a Zotero library by generating a read-only preview of duplicates, orphaned tags, and collection mismatches. This produces a non-destructive cleanup plan that defers all actual modifications to an explicit --apply workflow.

What is the best way to preview Zotero collection bloat before reorganizing my references?

Previewing Zotero collection bloat involves scanning your library read-only to identify cluster mismatches and propose collection rebinds. This method generates a remediation plan without altering your current collection structure.

Can I detect duplicate DOIs in Zotero and generate a cleanup plan?

Yes, you can detect duplicate DOIs by reading from dedup indices and local APIs. The process outputs a preview of cleanup opportunities rather than executing changes directly in your Zotero library.

Does this Zotero audit approach apply changes directly to my library?

No, this Zotero audit approach enforces read-only operation and does not apply changes directly. It defers all CRUD actions to the zotero-skills or research-hub Zotero CLI, ensuring your library remains untouched during the preview phase.

How do I apply the cleanup plan generated from my Zotero library audit?

To apply the generated cleanup plan, you must use the zotero-skills or research-hub Zotero CLI with an explicit --apply workflow. The audit tool itself only provides the read-only preview of necessary remediation steps.

When do I need a read-only preview for Zotero tag hygiene?

You need a read-only preview for Zotero tag hygiene when you want to identify orphaned tags and cross-collection mismatches safely. It allows you to plan your cleanup and evaluate remediation steps before committing any structural changes.
