Description
将论文保存到 Zotero 文库,请按照 userid:apiKey 的格式配置 ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS 环境变量。
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: it will use the ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS (format userID:apiKey) you provide to create Zotero items, add a note with any AI summary, and optionally download PDFs from arXiv to attach to those items. Before installing: confirm you are comfortable granting this API key write access to your Zotero account; verify the Homebrew 'uv' formula is the expected runner for your environment (or run the script directly with Python and install pyzotero manually); and ensure you do not supply broader or unrelated credentials. If you use group libraries, note the script hardcodes library_type='user' (it may not work for group libraries without modification). Finally, review and keep the API key private since the skill can upload items and attachments to your Zotero account.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: zotero-paper
Version: 0.0.1
The skill bundle is designed to save paper metadata and PDFs to a Zotero library. It securely retrieves Zotero credentials from the `ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS` environment variable. The `SKILL.md` documentation provides clear instructions without any prompt injection attempts. The `save_paper.py` script uses the `pyzotero` library for API interaction and includes a feature to download PDFs from ArXiv URLs, storing them in a temporary directory before attaching them. All operations align with the stated purpose, and there is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, and included script consistently implement saving metadata, notes, and PDF attachments to Zotero using an API key (ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS in userid:apiKey format). The requested binary 'uv' is used only as the platform runner for the Python script and is proportionate to the task.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the bundled Python script with title/authors/url/etc.; the script only reads ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS and the provided CLI args, calls the Zotero API via pyzotero, and (optionally) downloads PDFs from arxiv.org. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, other env vars, or to send data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
Install spec requests a Homebrew formula 'uv' to provide the runner binary — acceptable if 'uv' is the intended platform runner. The Python dependency pyzotero is declared in the script header but no explicit pip install step is provided in the brew install section; depending on the execution environment, the pyzotero dependency may need to be installed separately.
Credentials
Only a single environment variable (ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS) is required and is directly used to authenticate to Zotero. No unrelated tokens, secrets, or config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-on and does not request elevated or cross-skill configuration changes. It performs actions only when invoked and uses the provided Zotero credentials to write to the user's library, which matches its purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install zotero-paper - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/zotero-paper - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
