What problem does it solve?
Zotero workflows for finding papers, pulling metadata/abstracts, and exporting citations are often slow and require repeated context switching between tools and browser tabs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Zotero library search & retrieval: Quickly search your local Zotero library and pull detailed item metadata (including abstracts) to avoid manual lookup.
- Collections + export: List collections, export single items or whole collections as BibTeX, and generate formatted citations in common styles like APA or IEEE.
- Optional write-back to Zotero: Add/update/delete items and create collections using Zotero Web API with credentials, or create items locally via the Connector API when Web API isn’t available.
Quick Start
Use zotero-skill to search your library and return top matching papers by asking: “Find papers in my Zotero library about large language models with the author Smith and give me BibTeX.”
