I want to install the "zotero-management" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/zotero-management && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/zotero-management/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jxtse/scientific-research-skills/main/skills/zotero-management/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Manages a Zotero academic reference library through both the local API (localhost:23119, read-only) and the Web API (api.zotero.org, read-write), using a structured collection hierarchy (Inbox / Active Projects / Background / Reading Queue / Archive / Meta) plus project, status, priority, and type tags. Handles adding papers with full metadata, deduplication, attaching provenance notes, moving items between collections, updating tags after reading, listing the prioritized reading queue, and setting up the literature scaffold for a new project. Use when the user asks to add / save / file / organize a paper in Zotero, check / list / clean up the reading queue, move papers between collections, tag papers for a project, query their library ("what do I have on X?"), or set up Zotero for a new research project.
Zotero Library Management
Systematic management of an academic literature library via Zotero.
When to Use
• User asks to add a paper to Zotero • User asks to check their reading queue • User wants to organize papers for a project • User asks "what's in my library about X?" • User asks to clean up or reorganize collections
Library Structure
Standard collection hierarchy: ` 00_Inbox → Newly added, unprocessed papers 10_Active Projects → Papers actively being used in current work 20_Background → General domain knowledge, surveys, textbooks 30_Reading Queue → Papers to read, prioritized 40_Archive → Completed projects, historical reference 90_Meta → Templates, style guides, writing resources `
Tag System
Use tags to cross-cut the collection hierarchy: • Project tags: #Inception, #AI-Scientist-BioAge, #ChemRetro, #CAST • Status tags: #to-read, #reading, #read, #summarized • Priority tags: #urgent, #high, #low • Type tags: #survey, #method, #benchmark, #position-paper
