Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "zotero-mcp-code" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory mkdir -p .claude/skills/zotero-code-execution && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/zotero-code-execution/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kerim/zotero-code-execution/main/skill.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Search Zotero library using code execution for efficient multi-strategy searches without crash risks. Use this skill when the user needs comprehensive Zotero searches with automatic deduplication and ranking.
🚀 Basic Usage
For 90% of Zotero searches, use this simple pattern: `python import sys sys.path.append('/Users/niyaro/Documents/Code/zotero-code-execution') import setup_paths from zotero_lib import SearchOrchestrator, format_results
Zotero MCP Code Execution Skill
Search your Zotero library using code execution for safe, efficient, comprehensive searches.
🎯 Core Concept
Instead of calling MCP tools directly (which loads all results into context and risks crashes), write Python code that: • Fetches large datasets (50-100+ items per strategy) • Filters and ranks in code execution environment • Returns only top N results to context Benefits: • ✅ No crash risk (large data stays in code) • ✅ Automatic multi-strategy search • ✅ Automatic deduplication • ✅ Automatic ranking • ✅ One function call instead of 5-10
Multi-Term Searches
Zotero treats multi-word queries as AND conditions! ❌ Wrong: comprehensive_search("Atyal Atayal 泰雅族") → finds 0 results (needs ALL terms) ✅ Right: Search each term separately and merge results (see Pattern 6 below) When to use multi-term OR search: • Multiple spellings (Atayal, Atyal) • Multiple languages (Atayal, 泰雅族) • Synonyms (skill transfer, transfer of learning)
