Zotero Obsidian Bridge

Bridge Zotero as the literature source of truth with Obsidian as the durable project knowledge base.

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• collect and organize papers in Zotero,
• read papers from Zotero MCP,
• create or update one detailed paper note per paper under Obsidian Papers/,
• synthesize those notes into Knowledge/ notes,
• verify that a whole Zotero collection has complete canonical note coverage,
• visualize the literature structure as a default Obsidian canvas.

Core stance

• Zotero owns collection, metadata, attachments, PDF full text, annotations.
• Obsidian owns durable reading notes, project-facing literature knowledge, cross-note links, synthesis.
• Prefer one canonical paper note per paper.
• Prefer filesystem-first Obsidian notes; do not require Obsidian MCP.
• Use this as an explicit, agent-first skill for Zotero ingestion.
• Prefer Papers/ + Knowledge/ as the default bridge targets.
• Prefer Maps/literature.canvas as the default graph artifact.
