Agent Lit Review 2.0.0

Agent Lit Review 2.0.0

Set up a literature workflow for your research domain by editing research-config.yaml and running python scripts/setup_research.py before the first intake.

• Configure research context, list or string note properties, the domain database view name, and optional formatting rules in one file.
• Setup synchronizes the note schema, all four note templates, helper validation, research context, Obsidian database and Dashboard, and skill formatting rules.
• Formatting rules already built into the skill are not duplicated.
• The setup script uses Python's standard library and leaves existing literature notes unchanged.

The README includes command-line and Codex first-prompt setup paths. Run setup again after changing the YAML configuration.

Agent Lit Review v1.1.1 — Zotero API intake fix

Fixes

• Literature intake can read Zotero credentials saved as Windows user environment variables even when Codex was already running. An explicitly set process variable still takes precedence.
• Intake instructions now retry a Zotero API lookup with network access when a restricted command falls back to the local export.
• README and reference metadata guidance explain how to distinguish a verified API match (export_path: null) from a local export match.

Verified against the configured Zotero account: the key has personal-library read access, and a real article lookup matched by DOI through the API. All 36 automated tests passed. Personal research context, Dashboard, Bases, and notes were excluded.

Agent Lit Review v1.1.0 — Zotero and Mendeley support

What changed

• Resolve citation metadata through Zotero or Mendeley using local CSL-JSON/BibTeX exports or their REST APIs.
• Use a shared reference metadata adapter with consistent match status, provenance, and PDF metadata fallback.
• Configure Zotero Web API access with ZOTERO_API_KEY and ZOTERO_USER_ID; the README and reference metadata guide now include setup steps.
• Update the literature intake skill and shared note templates to use provider-neutral reference fields.

Validation: 35 automated tests passed. Personal research context, Dashboard, Bases, and notes were excluded from this release.

v1.0.0 - Initial Agent Lit Review workflow

v1.0.0 - Initial Stable Release

This is the first stable public release of Agent Lit Review, a local agent-assisted workflow for turning research PDFs into structured Obsidian literature notes.

Included

• One-source-at-a-time paper processing workflow to reduce context drift
• Structured Markdown note schema for literature review work
• Support for research articles, supplementary information, theses, and textbook chapters
• File naming guidance for predictable processing
• Research-focused summary sections, including research question, methods, key findings, quantitative results, limitations, figures to review, and summary confidence
• Obsidian-compatible organization using Markdown and wikilink-ready notes

Planned

Future releases may add post-processing features such as Maps of Content, theme indexing, and local literature-map generation.
