# zotero-skills

Programmatic access to the reference manager academia actually uses.

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
npx skills add WenyuChiou/zotero-skills --skill zotero-skills
```

## Best for

Keeping a Zotero library organised and queryable from the agent instead of through the desktop client.

## Not ideal for

Literature synthesis or writing — this is library operations. Pair it with research-hub or research-co-pilot, both of which sit above it in the workflow.

## About

Use when working with a Zotero library from an agent — search, add, classify, annotate and organise references through the Zotero API, with bundled references for API setup, CRUD operations and error handling.

## Compatibility

claude-code
