Use when an agent needs either of the two primary Zotero workflows: (1) search/query/retrieve references from the user's Zotero library and brainstorm from Zotero evidence, including ZOTseek semantic search, or (2) edit Word DOCX text and add selected Zotero items as live citation fields. Prefer structured Pyzotero CLI (zot) for low-context exact retrieval; use ZOTseek MCP for conceptual semantic discovery after live tool discovery. Zotero library create/update/delete actions are secondary and should only be done when explicitly requested. Trigger on Zotero, Pyzotero, zot, ZOTseek, semantic library search, Zotero MCP, Word/DOCX Zotero citations, literature searches within Zotero, Zotero reference review, paper brainstorming from a Zotero library, metadata, collections, tags, recent items, attachments/notes, full-text retrieval, or Zotero setup.
