About this skill
CLI Anything Zotero is a skill in HKUDS/CLI-Anything (52k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens. Licence: Apache-2.0.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pippython
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
CLI Anything Zotero loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 11 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

cli-anything-zotero
cli-anything-zotero is an agent-native CLI for Zotero desktop. It does not reimplement Zotero. Instead, it composes Zotero's real local surfaces:
Installation
pip install -e .Entry Points
cli-anything-zotero
python -m cli_anything.zoteroImportant Constraints
search items,item export,item citation, anditem bibliographyrequire Zotero's Local API to be enabled.note adddepends on the live Zotero GUI context and expects the same library to be selected in the app.- Import-time PDF attachment support is limited to items created in the same connector session; arbitrary existing-item attachment upload is still out of scope.
- Experimental SQLite write commands are local-only, user-library-only, and should be treated as non-stable power-user operations.
- If a bare key is duplicated across libraries, set
session use-library <id>before follow-up commands.
