alterlab-pyzotero
From the author
Interact with Zotero reference management libraries using the pyzotero Python client — retrieve, create, update, and delete items, collections, tags, and attachments via the Zotero Web API v3. Use when working with Zotero libraries programmatically, managing bibliographic references, exporting citations, searching library contents, uploading PDF attachments, or building research automation workflows that integrate with Zotero. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- pyzoteroK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsManages Zotero reference libraries using the pyzotero Python client: retrieves, creates, updates, and deletes items, collections, tags, and attachments via the Zotero Web API v3 or local API. Applies when working with Zotero libraries programmatically, managing bibliographic references, exporting citations, searching library contents, uploading PDF attachments, or building research automation workflows that integrate with Zotero.Documents★ 54.5K
- alterlab-citation-mgmtAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsManages citations for academic research — searches Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extracts complete metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, and arXiv IDs (CrossRef, doi.org content negotiation, NCBI E-utilities, arXiv API), validates BibTeX entries for required fields, format, and duplicates, and generates or cleans properly formatted BibTeX. Use when finding papers, converting DOIs to BibTeX, cleaning or deduplicating a .bib file, checking reference metadata in scientific writing, or building a bibliography. To prove that cited references actually exist or to flag fabricated or retracted citations prefer alterlab-citation-verifier; for Zotero library operations use alterlab-pyzotero.

- zotero-managementjxtse/scientific-research-skillsManages a Zotero academic reference library through both the local API (localhost:23119, read-only) and the Web API (api.zotero.org, read-write), using a structured collection hierarchy (Inbox / Active Projects / Background / Reading Queue / Archive / Meta) plus project, status, priority, and type tags. Handles adding papers with full metadata, deduplication, attaching provenance notes, moving items between collections, updating tags after reading, listing the prioritized reading queue, and setting up the literature scaffold for a new project. Use when the user asks to add / save / file / organize a paper in Zotero, check / list / clean up the reading queue, move papers between collections, tag papers for a project, query their library ("what do I have on X?"), or set up Zotero for a new research project.Science★ 73
- alterlab-matplotlibAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsBuilds plots with the matplotlib Python library (pyplot and the object-oriented Figure/Axes API) for full low-level customization, exporting to PNG/PDF/SVG. Use when fine-grained control over individual plot elements is needed — custom line/scatter/bar/histogram/heatmap/contour/box/violin/3D plots, rcParams and style-sheet tuning, or GridSpec subplot layouts inside a scientific Python workflow. Does NOT cover opinionated journal-ready multi-panel figure workflows (Nature/Science/Cell formatting, colorblind-safe palettes, significance annotations); for those prefer alterlab-scientific-viz instead.

- alterlab-omeroAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsManages microscopy image data on an OMERO server via the OMERO Python API (BlitzGateway) — access images, retrieve datasets, read pixel data, manage ROIs and annotations, and batch-process. Use when connecting to an OMERO server, pulling microscopy images or datasets, analyzing pixels, managing ROIs/annotations, or running high-content screening and microscopy workflows.
