54yyyu/zotero-mcpSkill
Read the open paper and write study annotations into its PDF with zotero-cli - a context box on the title, a four-part summary on the abstract, role-coded abstract highlights, one box per figure panel with a teaching comment, colour-coded body highlights, and a reading note. Use when asked to "annotate", "read and annotate", or "help me understand" a paper.
Why this score
This repo hosts 2 skills, so its 5,476 stars are split between them (about 2,738 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 84/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit eb016b1b746d, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
