Developing with Zotero: Web API v3 (read/write, file upload, sync, OAuth, item types/fields), the desktop client's JS API, plugin development (7-10), translators (web/import/export/search), and CSL/citeproc-js styles. Use when scripting Zotero or building or debugging a plugin, translator, or citation style.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Zotero Dev Rules

Zotero is an open-source reference manager. Developers extend it three ways: the **Web API**
(`https://api.zotero.org`) for online libraries, **plugins / the internal JavaScript API** for the
desktop client, and **translators** (JS scrapers/converters). Citations come from **CSL** styles via
**citeproc-js**. This skill mirrors <https://www.zotero.org/support/dev> so you can answer Zotero dev
questions and build integrations without re-fetching.

## When to use this skill

- Reading from / writing to a Zotero library over the **Web API** (items, collections, tags, searches).
- File attachment upload, full-library or partial **syncing**, **streaming** (WebSocket) updates, **OAuth**.
- Building or debugging a **Zotero plugin** (7–10 bootstrapped era; Zotero 10 migration notes included); scripting the client via its **JavaScript API** / Run JavaScript.
- Finding an **existing open-source plugin** with similar functionality (to study its code) before building a new one.
- Writing or fixing a **translator** (web/import/export/search) and testing it in **Scaffold**.
- Creating or editing **CSL citation styles**; working with citeproc-js / citeproc-node.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agents365-ai/365-skills/zotero-dev-rules@sha256:b14c81a42f3eea2f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
