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 what it says: it uses the ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS you provide to add items (and optionally attach PDFs downloaded from arXiv) to your Zotero library. Before installing or using it: (1) treat your ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS like a secret — use a Zotero API key with the minimum needed scope (if possible) rather than a full master key; (2) review the script yourself (it is short and included) if you have any doubts; (3) be aware the agent can be invoked to run this skill and will then perform writes to your Zotero account; and (4) when supplying URLs ensure they are trustworthy (the script will download PDFs from the provided URL). If you want extra safety, create a limited-scope Zotero API key or run the script manually rather than allowing autonomous agent invocation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: zotero-openclaw Version: 1.0.0 The skill is a legitimate utility designed to save academic paper metadata and PDFs to a user's Zotero library. The Python script `scripts/save_paper.py` uses the official `pyzotero` library to interact with the Zotero API and includes logic to download PDFs from Arxiv. No evidence of data exfiltration, credential theft, or malicious execution was found; the use of environment variables for API keys is consistent with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is named and described as a Zotero paper-saver, requires Python and a ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS environment variable, and the included script uses pyzotero and that credential to write to Zotero — this is proportionate and expected.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent to run the provided Python script and to install pyzotero; the script only reads ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS and the CLI args, checks Zotero for duplicates, creates items/notes, and optionally downloads PDFs from arXiv. It does not read other environment variables or unrelated system files.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec; the skill is instruction-only and asks the user to pip install pyzotero. No downloads from untrusted URLs or archive extraction are present in the package.
Credentials
Only ZOTERO_CREDENTIALS (userid:apiKey) is required and is the primary credential; this is appropriate for writing to a Zotero account. No unrelated secrets or config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill doesn't modify other skills or system configs. The skill can be invoked autonomously per platform default; this is normal but means it could write to your Zotero when invoked.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install zotero-openclaw
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /zotero-openclaw
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
