What it does
Zotero AI Butler Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. AI-powered paper summarization plugin for Zotero
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and Summarization. It works with Zotero. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Citation management
- Tasks that involve Summarization
Example prompts
- “/zotero-ai-butler-guide”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Rapid screening: Quick summaries for literature triage
- Paper comprehension: Ask clarifying questions
- Comparison studies: Side-by-side paper analysis
- Data extraction: Structured information for systematic reviews
- Reading preparation: Generate briefings before journal club
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comzotero.org
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
Zotero AI Butler Guide loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 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.
