Zotero MCP Search Skill

Interface with Zotero's MCP server to search and retrieve bibliographic data using advanced semantic search and multi-strategy approaches.

Designed for plain markdown outline output: This skill generates bibliographies formatted as plain markdown outlines suitable for pasting into Logseq with:

• Outline hierarchy (nested bullets, no markdown headers)
• Compact citation format (Author, Year. Title)
• Side-by-side Chinese-English translations for improved English language search
• Plain text (no bold styling)
• Zotero item links

Context-Aware Skill: This skill automatically adapts its strategy based on the environment:

• Claude Code: Uses autonomous agents for comprehensive multi-step searches
• Claude Desktop: Uses batched manual searches with safety limits
