Zotero
GitHub通过本地API操作Zotero库，支持搜索文献、管理条目、导出BibTeX、插入LaTeX/Markdown引用及导入文献记录。
Trigger Scenarios
提及Zotero或本地Zotero API
需要处理references.bib或BibTeX导出
请求从Zotero库添加引用

Use when the user mentions Zotero, citations, references.bib, BibTeX export, local Zotero API, localhost:23119, or adding citations from a Zotero library."

Zotero
Use this skill to operate a user's local Zotero Desktop library from Codex.
Core helper:
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py <command>
Resolve <plugin-root> by going two directories up from this SKILL.md file.
The helper is stdlib-only and follows the repo convention of running plugin Python helpers with python3 / #!/usr/bin/env python3; it does not require Codex-specific runtime discovery.
Fast starts
Check readiness in one command:
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py status --json
Enable the local API and restart Zotero if needed:
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py enable --restart
Search and export citation data:
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py search "transformer" --json
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py export-bibtex --out references.bib
Insert a citation from Zotero into a draft and keep references.bib in sync:
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py cite --query "Attention Is All You Need" --tex paper.tex --bib references.bib --marker '<cite>'
Workflow
- Start with
status --json. Do not rediscover prefs, ports, or profile paths manually unless the helper fails. - If
local_api_enabled_prefis false, runenable --restartwhen the user asked you to operate Zotero. This updates Zotero's local preference and restarts Zotero so port23119comes up. - Use read-only local API commands for normal work:
inventoryfor item/collection/tag summaries.search <query>for papers/items.export-bibtexorsync-bibfor.bibfiles.citefor inserting a citation into a draft.
- Only retrieve attachment file URLs or full text when the user asks for PDFs, attachment paths, or full-text content.
- Treat Zotero library writes as explicit write actions. Before
import-bibtex,import-ris, or connector save commands, confirm the exact record/source and destination unless the user's prompt already explicitly asked to add/import it.
Common commands
# Readiness and route map
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py status --json
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py probe --json
# Library inventory
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py inventory

python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py tags
# Search and export
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py search "BERT"
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py export-bibtex --out references.bib
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py export-bibtex --item-key PXW99EKT
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py citations --style apa --json
# Draft editing
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py cite --item-key PXW99EKT --tex paper.tex --bib references.bib --marker '<cite>'
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py cite --query "BERT" --markdown notes.md --bib references.bib --marker '<cite>'
# Attachments and full text; use only on request
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py children PXW99EKT --json
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py fulltext 2JAZS9U8 --out attention-fulltext.txt
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py file-url 2JAZS9U8
# Writes to Zotero; confirm first unless explicitly requested
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py selected-target --json
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py import-bibtex --file new-reference.bib --yes
python3 <plugin-root>/skills/zotero/scripts/zotero.py import-ris --file new-reference.ris --yes
Output standards
- For inventory/search, return title, creators, year, Zotero item key, and BibTeX key when available.
- Explain the two-key distinction when relevant: Zotero item keys like
PXW99EKTare not the same as exported BibTeX keys likevaswani_attention_2023. - For
.bibexport, return the absolute output path and entry count. - For draft citation insertion, report the edited file, inserted citation key, and updated
.bibpath. - For blockers, name the exact gate: Zotero app missing, local API disabled, port closed, connector unavailable, no matching item, or write not confirmed.
Route details
Read references/local-api-routes.md only when you need endpoint details beyond the helper commands.
