dsh-plugin-litsearch-zotero

A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin that bundles two agent skills and a small CLI for the "check my idea, then file the papers" workflow:

• literature-search — decompose an idea into searchable novelty axes, run a multi-source literature search, and grade every hit by how close it is to the idea. Used to answer "has anyone already done this?" before you start work.
• zotero-import — push a BibTeX/RIS file into a locally running Zotero desktop app through its connector import endpoint. No zotero.org account, no API key.
• zotero-import CLI — the same import as a shell command.

The two skills compose: literature-search finds the papers, zotero-import files them into your library.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-litsearch-zotero

dsh plugin add installs the package into the profile and, because this package declares dsh.bundle.patch, activates it automatically. After a restart of the profile, the two skills appear in the session skill catalog.

Install straight from a Git checkout / GitHub instead: dsh plugin --profile web add github:<user>/dsh-plugin-litsearch-zotero

What you get

Capability	Kind	Trigger
literature-search	skill	"has anyone done this idea", "related work", "novelty check"
zotero-import	skill	"put these papers into Zotero"
zotero-import <file>	CLI	zotero-import refs.bib in the shell

Usage

Skill: literature-search

Ask the agent directly:

在 MuJoCo/IsaacLab 里训 DreamerV3，蒸馏成极小的反射网络，部署到 ROS2 真机——帮我查有没有人做过。

The skill guides the agent to produce a closeness table (🔴 几乎一样 / 🟡 部分重叠 / 🟢 背景) plus a "still-open gap" list, so you know which axis of your idea is actually novel.

Skill + CLI: zotero-import

zotero-import /tmp/refs.bib
# node bin/zotero-import.mjs /tmp/refs.bib   # if not on PATH

Zotero must be running. Items land in the currently selected Zotero collection.

How it works

• lib/index.js is a Cordis plugin that registers a skill provider on ctx.skills (same pattern as @deepseek-ai/dsh-skill-badge). Skill bodies are read from skills/*.md at load time and served as bundled skills.
• cordis.patch.yml is the bundle patch that inserts the plugin as a host row, so dsh plugin add activates it without any manual composition edit.
• The CLI and the zotero-import skill use Zotero's local POST /connector/import endpoint (note: Zotero's local /api/ is read-only). Node's fetch does not honor http_proxy, which sidesteps the "502 Bad Gateway" you get when curl routes 127.0.0.1:23119 through a local proxy.

中文简介

这是 DeepSeek Harness 插件：内置两个 skill——literature-search（把 idea 拆成可检索维度做文献/related-work 检索，给出接近度分级）和 zotero-import（把 BibTeX/RIS 直接写进正在运行的 Zotero，免账号免 API key），另附 zotero-import 命令行。安装：dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-litsearch-zotero。
