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 | $0.00091 | $0.01144 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00572 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00229 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
zotero-connector 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 12d 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Zotero Connector — arXiv Paper Importer
Import arXiv papers into Zotero via the local connector API (localhost:23119).
The script handles everything: ID normalization, duplicate detection, metadata fetch,
PDF download, and optional collection targeting.
Script Location
.claude/skills/zotero-connector/scripts/import_arxiv.py
Python 3.8+ required, stdlib only (no pip install needed).
Quick Reference
SCRIPT=".claude/skills/zotero-connector/scripts/import_arxiv.py"
# Single paper
python $SCRIPT 2301.07041
# Multiple papers
python $SCRIPT 2301.07041 2310.06825 1706.03762
# Into a specific collection (by path or ID)
python $SCRIPT --collection "By Topic/Agent" 2301.07041
python $SCRIPT --collection C148 2301.07041
# Dry run — check duplicates without importing
python $SCRIPT --dry-run 2301.07041 2310.06825
# Force import (skip duplicate check)
python $SCRIPT --force 2301.07041
# Silently skip duplicates (don't show them at all)
python $SCRIPT --ignore-duplicates 2301.07041 2310.06825
# Parallel import (up to 5 concurrent)
python $SCRIPT --parallel 3 ID1 ID2 ID3 ID4 ID5
# List all collections
python $SCRIPT --list-collections
Input Formats
The script accepts arXiv IDs in any form — it normalizes them automatically:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| New-style ID | 2301.07041 |
| With version | 2301.07041v2 (version stripped) |
| Old-style ID | hep-th/0601001 |
| Full URL | https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.07041 |
| Prefixed | arXiv:2301.07041 |
| DOI form | 10.48550/arXiv.2301.07041 |
Collection Targeting
When importing, use --collection to place papers in a specific Zotero collection.
The argument can be a connector ID (C148) or a path suffix (Agent/Agent, By Topic/Agent).
Path matching is case-insensitive and matches from the end, so "Agent" matches any
collection named "Agent" (ambiguous matches produce an error with suggestions).
What ships with it
1 file 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.

zotero-connector is a skill published in the GitHub repository X1AOX1A/ZoFiles (31 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 1,144 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
