About zotero-obsidian-bridge

zotero-obsidian-bridge is a skill for researchers organizing Zotero papers in a project’s Obsidian vault. It connects source notes, synthesis, and writing through evidence records and a claim review gate.

Key features

  1. 01Organizes paper, knowledge, and writing notes
  2. 02Records evidence for core papers
  3. 03Requires claims to link to evidence records
  4. 04Creates a literature graph

Use cases

  1. 01Move Zotero literature into a project vault
  2. 02Write literature syntheses from source evidence
  3. 03Check support for claims in reports or papers

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Details

From the project README

Zotero Obsidian Bridge

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

Default flow:

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.

## 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.
