Using riszotto

CLI for searching, reading, and exporting papers from Zotero. Run via riszotto <command>. Requires Zotero desktop running with local API enabled.

If riszotto is not found, instruct the user to install it: uv tool install riszotto (or uv tool install "riszotto[semantic]" for semantic search support).

Default: personal library. Use -L "Name" for groups, -A for all libraries. Discover with riszotto libraries.

Dos and Don'ts

Do:

• Run riszotto search "query" directly — output is a readable table
• Read the table output as-is — keys, dates, authors, and titles are all there
• Use -l / --limit to control result count
• Combine filters: --author, --tag, --full-text to narrow results
• Run multiple searches as separate commands
