Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
When the user asks to import papers from Zotero, follow this workflow: ## Input The user provides one or more citation keys as arguments, e.g.: - `/zotero-paper-import montanolopezPhysiologicalLimitationsOpportunities2022` - `/zotero-paper-import key1 key2 key3` ## Procedure ### Step 1: Run the import script ```bash /Users/michaelvolk/miniconda3/bin/python scripts/zotero_paper_import.py <key1> [key2 ...] ``` This single command handles everything per key: 1. Connects to Zotero and downloads PDFs into `../Swanki_Data/{key}/` 2. Detects reference pages via PyPDF2 text extraction 3. Cuts references with `swanki-cut`, creates `_clean.pdf` via `pdfunite` 4. Writes the `.sh` runner script Use `--download-only` to skip the cleaning step if needed. ### Step 2: Handle failures If references are NOT auto-detected for a paper (script reports "No references heading detected, keeping all pages"), manually inspect the PDF and re-run the cut using `/clean-pdf {key}`. ### Step 3: Report summary After all keys are processed, report: - Which keys were successfully imported - Pages kept vs removed per paper - Any papers where references were not detected

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill zotero-paper-import --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
