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.
