Zotero
90 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By fanfan-de/anybox (GitHub) · coding · 55 stars · scanned at commit bd5205b
Use Zotero Desktop from Codex to enable/probe the local API, search a local Zotero library, list items/collections/tags, export BibTeX, insert citation keys into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, read indexed full text when requested, and import BibTeX/RIS records into Zotero through the connector server. Use when the user mentions Zotero, citations, references.bib, BibTeX export, local Zotero API, localhost:23119, or adding citations from a Zotero library.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'zotero' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'zotero' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named zotero already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fanfan-de/anybox' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'bd5205b4a18d74a28821733da615bb7adf93a1c5' -- 'plugins/Anybox-Plugins/zotero/skills/zotero' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/Anybox-Plugins/zotero/skills/zotero' ~/.agents/skills/'zotero' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'zotero' ~/.claude/skills/'zotero' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
