Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00142 | $0.08830 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00057 | $0.03532 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.01766 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00883 |
Grade A, and why
zotio scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 329 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
zotio — Zotero automation CLI
Full command tree: ask the CLI at runtime —
zotio --help,zotio <command> --help, orzotio agent-context --pretty. Installation, auth, and longer usage live inREADME.mdand the docs site.
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the zotio binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via Homebrew (macOS / Linux):
Or download an archive from the releases page and put the binary on yourbrew install orgmentem/tap/zotio$PATH— the binaries are unsigned, butchecksums.txtis Sigstore-signed (checksums.txt.sigstore.json), so verify the archive against it. - Verify:
zotio version - From source:
go build -o zotio ./cmd/zotio, then put the binary on your$PATH.
If zotio version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
This CLI connects directly to your running Zotero desktop app — reads need no API key. Writes (items create/update/delete/enrich, import apply, vault push) generally require a Zotero Web API key, configured once via auth set-token --stdin; personal-library creates can instead go through the keyless desktop connector. Commands that change your library or vault are preview-first: each one plans by default and applies only under --yes. Commands that touch only local state differ: auth logout and profile delete also preview by default and apply under --yes, while auth set-token and profile save apply directly. --yes is the user's decision, not yours — an agent previews, reports, and waits. Runs applied through the mutation envelope are recorded to the journal, but vault writes bypass it, and journal undo reverses only losslessly invertible ops (tag and collection-membership changes, an items new or import apply create, and items enrich DOI, abstract, citation-field, subject-tag, and MeSH-tag writes) and refuses the rest — so a journal entry is an audit record rather than a guarantee of reversibility. See write safety. It syncs your library to a local SQLite store for offline search and compound queries.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

zotio is a skill published in the GitHub repository OrgMentem/zotio (3 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 8,830 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
