Search papers, view detailed metadata, access full text, and export to Zotero with PDF attachments — all from the Claude Code CLI. - Claude Code CLI installed - Chrome browser - Zotero desktop app (optional, for export) - Python 3 (optional, for Zotero push script) — orchestrates all 6 skills. Handles PubMed API interaction, tab management, and multi-step workflows like "search → filter → export to Zotero". Skills and agent are picked up automatically. Try /pm-search CRISPR to verify. All skills use PubMed's E-utilities API (esearch, esummary, efetch) via evaluate_script calls through Chrome DevTools MCP. The export skill uses a 3-step flow to attach PDFs to Zotero: 1. — push paper metadata to Zotero via Connector API 2. — fetch PDF from PMC/publisher via Python 3.
