  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by cookjohn on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Wos Export AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/cookjohn/wos-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/wos-export
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cookjohn/wos-skills.git /tmp/wos-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/wos-skills/.claude/skills/wos-export .claude/skills/wos-export
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Wos Export in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Wos Export on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Wos Export is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

WoS Export

Export WoS paper records. Two modes: direct Zotero push (preferred) or file export via UI.

Mode A: Push to Zotero (preferred, no UI interaction)

Collect paper metadata (from prior search/detail results) and push to Zotero via the push_to_zotero.py script.

Step 1: Prepare Paper Data

Build a JSON object from data already available in the conversation (from wos-search API results or wos-paper-detail extraction). The script accepts WoS paper fields directly:

json
{
  "title": "Value co-creation in service logic",
  "authors": "Grönroos, C",
  "source": "MARKETING THEORY",
  "year": 2011,
  "volume": "11",
  "issue": "3",
  "pages": "279-301",
  "doi": "10.1177/1470593111408177",
  "issn": "1470-5931",
  "abstract": "The underpinning logic of...",
  "language": "English",
  "accessionNumber": "WOS:000295471900004",
  "authorKeywords": ["value co-creation", "service logic"],
  "keywordsPlus": ["DOMINANT LOGIC"],
  "citedCount": "992",
  "alldbCited": "1,254",
  "jif": "2.8",
  "jifYear": "2024",
  "jcrQuartile": "Q3",
  "researchAreas": "Business & Economics",
  "wosCategories": "Business",
  "docType": "Article"
}

For multiple papers, wrap in an array or {"items": [...]}.

Step 2: Push via Script

bash
echo '{JSON_DATA}' | python "e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py"

Or save to temp file first (recommended for large data or Chinese characters):

bash
python "e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py" /tmp/wos_export.json

Step 3: Report Result

  • OK: Saved (session: xxx) → success
  • OK: Already saved (session: xxx) → idempotent, no duplicates
  • Error: Zotero not running → tell user to start Zotero desktop

The script auto-detects Zotero's currently selected collection. User can change target by selecting a different folder in Zotero before exporting.

To list collections: python push_to_zotero.py --list

Mode B: File Export via UI (fallback)

When Zotero is not available or user specifically wants a file.

Prerequisites

Browser must be on a WoS results page (/summary/...) or full record page (/full-record/...).

Supported Formats

FormatMenu ItemFile
RIS"RIS (other reference software)".ris
BibTeX"BibTeX".bib
Excel"Excel".xlsx
Plain Text"Plain text file".txt
Fast 5000"Fast 5000"Quick export

Steps

  1. take_snapshot → find Export button (button with haspopup="menu" containing "Export") → click
  2. take_snapshot → find format menuitem → click
  3. Handle export dialog (record range, content options) → click download button

Notes on UI Export

  • Uses 3-4 tool calls: snapshot + click Export + snapshot + click format + dialog
  • "Fast 5000" exports up to 5000 records with basic fields
  • On full-record page, exports only the current record

Zotero Script Features

  • Deterministic session ID: Same papers always produce the same session ID (content hash). Prevents duplicates on retry (409 → treated as success).
  • WoS metadata mapping: Automatically maps WoS fields to Zotero's journalArticle schema.
  • Extra field: Stores WoS-specific data (WoS ID, citation counts, JIF, JCR quartile, research areas) in Zotero's Extra field.
  • Author parsing: Handles WoS standard format "LastName, Initials" → Zotero firstName/lastName.
  • Keywords: Both Author Keywords and Keywords Plus are added as Zotero tags.

Notes

  • Mode A (Zotero push) requires no browser interaction — uses data from prior API calls
  • Mode A works even when browser is not on a WoS page
  • Script path: e:\wos-skills\.claude\skills\wos-export\scripts\push_to_zotero.py
  • Zotero must be running on localhost:23119

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wos Export AI skill do?

Export WoS records to Zotero, RIS, BibTeX, or Excel.

Why use Wos Export on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Wos Export is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Wos Export in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/cookjohn/wos-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/wos-export. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Wos Export?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Wos Export?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Wos Export with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Wos Export AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by cookjohn. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
