SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Audit and curate a Zotero library by producing read-only previews of duplicates, orphaned tags, cluster mismatches, and collection bloat, so you can plan cleanup without applying changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only audits of Zotero libraries with preview-driven cleanup plans.
  • Detect duplicate DOIs, orphan tags, and cross-collection mismatches; propose non-destructive remediation steps.
  • Defer all CRUD operations to zotero-skills or the research-hub Zotero CLI, preserving data safety.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my Zotero library to find duplicates and orphaned tags without making changes?▼

You can audit a Zotero library by generating a read-only preview of duplicates, orphaned tags, and collection mismatches. This produces a non-destructive cleanup plan that defers all actual modifications to an explicit --apply workflow.

What is the best way to preview Zotero collection bloat before reorganizing my references?▼

Previewing Zotero collection bloat involves scanning your library read-only to identify cluster mismatches and propose collection rebinds. This method generates a remediation plan without altering your current collection structure.

Can I detect duplicate DOIs in Zotero and generate a cleanup plan?▼

Yes, you can detect duplicate DOIs by reading from dedup indices and local APIs. The process outputs a preview of cleanup opportunities rather than executing changes directly in your Zotero library.

Does this Zotero audit approach apply changes directly to my library?▼

No, this Zotero audit approach enforces read-only operation and does not apply changes directly. It defers all CRUD actions to the zotero-skills or research-hub Zotero CLI, ensuring your library remains untouched during the preview phase.

How do I apply the cleanup plan generated from my Zotero library audit?▼

To apply the generated cleanup plan, you must use the zotero-skills or research-hub Zotero CLI with an explicit --apply workflow. The audit tool itself only provides the read-only preview of necessary remediation steps.

When do I need a read-only preview for Zotero tag hygiene?▼

You need a read-only preview for Zotero tag hygiene when you want to identify orphaned tags and cross-collection mismatches safely. It allows you to plan your cleanup and evaluate remediation steps before committing any structural changes.
