Zotero Paper Reader

This skill handles the full workflow of pulling academic papers from your Zotero library and converting them to readable markdown. It searches Zotero by title, author, or topic, grabs the PDF (checking local storage first, then downloading if needed), converts it using Mistral's API, and saves everything to a Notes folder with a clean filename format like Author_Year_Title.md. The nice touch is that it reads large papers strategically in sections since academic PDFs often blow past context limits. You'll need API keys for both Zotero and Mistral set up in your .env file, and it works with both local and web Zotero libraries. Honestly most useful if you're regularly citing papers and want them in a format Claude can actually work with.
