What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

# Zotero Obsidian Bridge

Use this skill when papers live in Zotero and the project KB should receive project-local notes.

Default flow:

```text
Zotero -> Sources/Papers -> Knowledge -> Writing -> Maps/literature.canvas
```

Rules:
- one canonical paper note per paper under `Sources/Papers/`
- literature synthesis goes to `Knowledge/`
- writing-oriented outputs go to `Writing/`
- `Maps/literature.canvas` is the default derived graph artifact
- update `_system/registry.md`, `02-Index.md`, and today's `Daily/` after substantial ingestion

## Evidence extraction requirement

Core papers and papers with reusable claims should include an evidence record. Abstract-only or placeholder notes may stay in `To-Read` until there is enough evidence to extract a reusable claim.

```md
## Evidence Record

Evidence ID:
Source:
Source type: full paper | preprint | dataset | experiment artifact | project note | abstract-only | webpage placeholder
Supports:
Contradicts:
Method / dataset / metric:
Limitation:
Project relevance:
Claim strength: speculative | observed | supported | strong
```

Use `../research-ideation/references/research-contract.md` as the shared contract for Evidence Records and claim strength definitions.

Before synthesis lands in `Knowledge/` or `Writing/`, apply the shared Claim Promotion Gate:
- every promoted claim must point back to an Evidence Record ID,
- source type must be strong enough for the claim,
- abstract-only and webpage-placeholder items cannot support durable claims,
- allowed wording and forbidden stronger wording must be preserved when the claim may later enter a report, manuscript, or rebuttal.

When synthesis lands in `Knowledge/`, link the supporting paper notes explicitly. Do not promote literature synthesis that cannot point back to source notes.

Questions

What does the Zotero Obsidian Bridge skill do?

Semi-automated research assistant for academic research and software development. Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, and OpenCode across ideation, coding, experiments, writing, and publication.

Is Zotero Obsidian Bridge safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Zotero Obsidian Bridge access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (29ad4d4206fb), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
